3. Significance and Use
3.1 These tests are useful in sampling and testing solvent bearing bituminous compounds to establish uniformity of shipments.
4. Sampling
4.1 Determine the number of containers sampled to represent a shipment in accordance with Practice D140D140/D140M.
4.2 Open the original containers and examine them for uniformity of contents. Record the degree of separation, if any, into
portions of appreciably different consistency, such as thick or thin layers, sedimentation or coagulation, etc. Also, note any
difficulty encountered in stirring to a uniform condition.
4.3 Take the samples for laboratory examination from the original containers immediately after stirring to a uniform condition.
Restir individual or combined samples immediately before taking out portions for tests.
5. Uniformity
5.1 Procedure—Examine the contents of a full container of not less than 1 L or 1 qt in volume that has stood undisturbed for
72 h.
5.2 Report—Make a notation of any separation or settlement of suspended matter that cannot be overcome by moderate
agitation.
6. Weight-per-Gallon/Specific Gravity
6.1 Apparatus:
6.1.1 Weight-per-Gallon Cup, with lid, stainless steel, calibrated to contain 83.3 g of water at 25 6 0.5°C [77 6 1°F].
6.1.2 Balance, accurate to 0.01 g.
6.1.3 Water Bath, constant temperature, maintained at 25 6 0.5°C [77 6 1°F].
6.2 Procedure:
6.2.1 Stir the sample, and place in the 25°C [77°F] water bath until the sample temperature reaches 25 6 0.5°C [77 6 1°F].
Time required for temperature equilibration depends on sample size and configuration.
6.2.2 Condition cup and lid to 25 6 0.5°C [77 6 1°F]. Weigh the weight-per-gallon cup with lid to the nearest 0.01 g and record
as tare weight.
6.2.3 Remove the sample from the bath, and stir until homogeneous. Avoid trapping air in the sample during stirring.
6.2.4 Carefully fill the weight-per-gallon cup with the sample avoiding the entrapment of air. Jar or vibrate the cup until no
further change in volume occurs.
6.2.5 Immediately place the lid on the weight-per-gallon cup and remove, with a clean rag or paper, the excess sample oozing
through the orifice in the lid.
6.2.6 When the lid is placed on tightly, clean the weight-per-gallon cup carefully, weigh on the balance to the nearest 0.01 g,
and record as weight of sample and tare.
6.3 Calculations:
6.3.1 Calculate the weight-per-gallon of the sample as follows:
D 5 ~B 2 A!/10 (1)
where:
A = tare weight of weight-per-gallon cup, g,
The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced on www.astm.org.
D6511/D6511M − 18
B = weight of sample and tare g, and
D = weight-per-gallon of sample, lb/gal. To convert units to kg/m , multiply D by 119.83.
6.3.2 Calculate the specific gravity of the sample as follows:
SG 5 D/8.33 (2)
where:
SG = specific gravity,
D = weight-per-gallon of sample calculation from 6.3.1, and
8.33 = weight-per-gallon of water at 25 6 0.5° C [77 6 1°F].
6.4 Report:
6.4.1 Report the weight-per-gallon of the sample in pounds-per-gallon to the nearest 0.1 lb at 25°C [77°F].
6.4.2 Report the specific gravity of the sample to the nearest hundredth at 25°C [77°F].
7. Nonvolatile Content
7.1 Apparatus:
7.1.1 Metal Dish, flat-bottom, having a diameter of 65 mm [2.5 in.] with walls 10 mm [ ⁄8 in.] high.
7.1.2 Oven, forced draft, conforming to Specification E145, Type III B, for asphalt products, or a standard convection oven for
coal tar products.
7.1.3 Balance, capable of weighing 50 g to within 60.01 g.
7.2 Procedure—Weigh 10 6 1.00 g in the tared metal dish to the nearest 0.01 g. Dry the dish and its contents in a forced draft
oven at 163 6 3°C [325 6 5°F] for asphalt products or 105 to 110°C [221 to 230°F] in standard convection oven for coal tar
products until the residue shows a loss of not more than 0.05 g on successive hourly weighings (approximately 4 h), after cooling
in a desiccator.
7.3 Calculation—Calculate the percent nonvolatile content R , from the mass of the dry residue and the mass of the original
I
sample, as follows:
R 5 ~R/S! 3100 (3)
I
where:
R = mass of dry residue, g, and
S = mass of sample, g.
7.4 Report—Record the average of two determinations.
8. Solubility of Residue in Carbon Disulfide or Trichloroethylene
8.1 Apparatus—See Test Method D4.
8.2 Procedure—Determine the matter soluble in carbon disulfide or trichloroethylene on a representative portion of the
nonvolatiles (Section 7), in accordance with Test Method D4.
8.3 Calculation—Calculate the percent solubility in carbon disulfide or trichloroethylene S from the mass of the residue and
I
the mass of the original sample as follows:
S 5 R/S 3100 (4)

9.1.2 Balance, capable of weighing 50 g to within 60.01 g.
9.1.3 Muffle Furnace, capable of maintaining a temperature of 593 6 2.5°C [1100 6 10°F].

desiccator at all times prior to this test) (Section 7) and weigh 3 6 0.5 go to the nearest 0.01 g in a previously ignited and tared
crucible. Incinerate the contents inside a muffle furnace at a temperature of 600°C [1110°F] to constant weight. (Warning—This
incineration will produce black smoke. This procedure should be carried out under a fume hood.)

11. Consistency
11.1 Asphalt Roof Coatings:
11.1.1 Summary of Test Method—Consistency is determined using the stormer viscometer and the rate of shear reported in terms
of the time required for 100 revolutions of the rotor produced by a specified load (compare with Test Method D562).
11.1.2 Apparatus:
11.1.2.1 Standard Stormer Viscometer. Standard Stormer Viscometer.
11.1.2.2 Water Bath-Test Cup Assembly, without central baffle or thermometer holder.
11.1.2.3 Rotor, propeller-type (see Fig. 1).
11.1.2.4 Slotted Weights, and a suitable hanger.
11.1.2.5 Thermometer—ASTM stormer viscosity thermometer having a range from 20 to 70°C, and conforming to the
requirements for Thermometer 49C as prescribed in Specification E1.
11.1.2.6 Stop Watch. Stop Watch.
11.1.3 Preparation of Apparatus:
11.1.3.1 Place the stormer viscometer on a table or shelf high enough to permit the weight to drop about 1 m [40 in.], or
sufficient distance to produce about 125 revolutions of the rotor. Insert the shaft of the propellar-type rotor in the chuck as far as
it will go and secure it with the set screw.
11.1.3.2 Raise the water bath-test cup assembly until the bottom of the test cup just touches the bottom of the rotor blade; then,
lower the assembly 6 mm [ ⁄4 in.]. Tighten the set screw on the position collar, if available, while the collar is in contact with the
bracket and the assembly, and use this setting to position the cup for all test runs. Using the set screws in the rim of the bath holder,
adjust the water bath-test cup assembly so that the cup and rotor are visually concentric.
11.1.3.3 For convenience in weight adjustment, attach a slotted metal can cover approximately 50 mm [2 in.] in diameter to the
hanger to support the slotted weights required.
11.1.4 Calibration:
11.1.4.1 Use a 94.85 % by weight aqueous glycerin solution as a calibration standard. Determine the initial concentration of
reagent grade glycerin by accurately measuring its specific gravity (see Appendix X1), and then add additional water to make up
the desired total of 5.15 % by weight water.
11.1.4.2 Determine the weight on the viscometer cord (approximately 100 g) required to produce 100 revolutions of the rotor
in the glycerin calibration standard at 25 6 0.2°C in 18.0 6 0.2 s, this is the standardizing load. Check the calibration periodically,
particularly after prolonged use of the instrument, and recalibrate as necessary.
11.1.5 Procedure:
11.1.5.1 Remove the test cup and fill it with the sample to a level that will extend 6 mm [ ⁄4 in.] above the top of the rotor blade.
Agitate the sample in the cup thoroughly to remove any trapped air bubbles. Place the test cup in the water bath, and then move
the assembly up into test position against the preset collar.
11.1.5.2 Add 450 g to the standardizing load determined in 11.1.4.2. This will be the test load or driving weight.
11.1.5.3 Adjust the temperature of the sample and the entire test assembly to 25 6 0.2°C. To expedite reaching equilibrium,
raise the driving weight and release the brake to provide agitation. When the water bath test cup, sample, and rotor have all reached
25 6 0.2°C, remove the thermometer.
11.1.5.4 Raise the driving weight on the cord so that it nearly touches the pulley. With stop watch in hand, release the brake
and observe the moving pointer. After 8 to 10 revolutions have been made, time the next 100 revolutions. Take the average of at
least three determinations and record as the Stormer consistency in s/100 revolutions. Record the driving weight.
