(s)Testing Asphalt Emulsions ................................... AASHTO T 59

The following exceptions to AASHTO T 59 shall apply:

1.For the Residue by Distillation test, the specified aluminum

alloy still shall be the referee still.

2.When tests on the residue are not required, the % of residue for 210

emulsion grades RS-2 and AE-90 only, may be determined by the Residue by Evaporation test of AASHTO T 59. The % of residue shall be determined by the Residue of Distillation test in all cases of failure or dispute.

mixture of 465 ±1 g of reference stone and 35.0 ±0.1 g of asphalt emulsion:

a.For AE-90 the mixture of stone and asphalt shall be mixed 220

vigorously for 5 minutes. At the end of the mixing period, the mix shall be rinsed by running sufficient tap water at the side of the container to completely immerse the mix. The 902.02

994 tap water shall then be poured off and the rinsing step repeated as necessary until the rinse water pours off essentially clear. The stone sh all remain a minimum of 90% coated.

b.For AE-150 the mixture of stone and asphalt shall be mixed

vigorously for 5 minutes and then allowed to stand for 3 h. 230 At the end of this time, the mixture shall again be mixed vigorously for 5 minutes. At the end of the second mixing period, the mix shall be rinsed by running sufficient tap water at the side of the container to completely immerse the mix. The tap water shall then be poured off and the rinsing step repeated as necessary until the rinse water pours off essentially clear. The stone sh all remain a minimum of 90% coated.

4.For the Demulsibility test, normally only one test will be 240

required. In case of failure or dispute, the specified procedure in AASHTO T 59 will be followed.

5.For oil portion from Residue by Distillation, report the number

of milliliters of oil per 100 g of emulsion.

(t)Stripping tests for HMA mixtures using binder materials, with or

without additives, shall be performed as follows:

1.Test 1. A sample of produced mixture, 500 g, minimum, shall 250

be obtained for testing. The size of test specimen and the amount of distilled water shall be:

Approximate Size of Aggregate Minimum Weight of Test Specimen Amount of Distilled Water Sand 100 g 400 mL 12 100 g 400 mL 11 150 g 600 mL 9 200 g 600 mL

Place the specimen in the boiling distilled water and stir with a glass rod at the rate of one revolution per second for 3 minutes. The aggregate shall retain a mini mum of 90% of its asphalt film compared with the remainder of the sample, upon completion of this procedure. 260 2 . Test 2 . Approximately 500 g of produced mixture shall be heated to 250°F in a laboratory oven for 2 h, stirred, and cooled to 200°F. A portion of the mix shall then be placed in boiling 902.02

995 distilled water, quantity of mix and quantity of boiling water shall be as specified in Test 1, and stirred with a glass rod at the rate of one revolution per second for 3 minutes.

Place the compacting adapter on the sand surface and slowly, over a period of about 5 s, compact the sand until the 20 psi load is achieved, which is approximately 100 lb on the Rimac Spring Tester. Remove the compacting device, avoiding disturbance to 320 the sand surface. Quickly pour 12 g of the emulsion from a height of about 4 in. onto top of sand mixture. Start timer at start of pour. Stop timer when all emulsion penetrates into sand mixture. Delay 2 minutes then remove sand and mixture from one side of ointment tin, about 1/2 of mixture.
