Standard Test Methods for Emulsified Asphalts

Standard Details

1.1 These test methods and practices, given under the headings titled Composition, Consistency, Stability, and Examination of Residue, cover the examination of asphalt emulsions composed principally of a semisolid or liquid asphaltic base, water, and an emulsifying agent. The test methods cover the following tests:

Water Content	4-10
Residue and Oil Distillate by Distillation	11-15
Residue by Evaporation	16-22
Particle Charge of Cationic Emulsified Asphalts	23-28
Consistency:
Viscosity (Saybolt Furol)	29-33
Stability:
Demulsibility	34-39
Settlement	40-45
Cement Mixing	46-52
Sieve Test	53-58
Coating	59-62
Miscibility with Water	63-65
Freezing	66-68
Coating Ability and Water Resistance	69-76
Storage Stability of Asphalt Emulsion	77-83
Examination of Residue	84-91
Identification Test for Rapid Setting Cationic Emulsified Asphalt	92-99
Identification of Cationic Slow Set Emulsions	100-105
Field Coating Test on Emulsified Asphalts	106-111
Emulsified Asphalt/Job Aggregate Coating Test	112-117
Weight per Gallon of Emulsified Asphalt	118-124
Residue by Low-Temperature Vacuum Distillation	126-131
