All asphalt binders and cutback asphalts reheated to temperatures 50ºF more than the maximum in TABLE 601-1 will be considered overheated and may be rejected pe nding re-sampling and re-testing of the material at the discretion of the Engineer. All emulsified asphalts reheated to temperatures above the maximum shown above will be considered overheated and may be rejected pending re-sampling and re-testing of the material at the discretion of the Engineer.
