Standard Test Method for Determination of a Volatile Distillate Fraction of Cold Asphalt Mixtures

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is used for determining the amount of a temperature specific volatile distillate fraction in cold mix asphalt mixtures.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination, by direct measurement, of the ambient to 500°F (260°C) volatile distillate fraction of cold mix asphalt mixtures.
1.2 A precision and bias statement for the Standard has not been developed since this test method is used for research purposes or information only. Therefore this Standard should not be used for acceptance or rejection of a material for purchasing purposes.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
