1. Scope
1.1 This test
method outlines a
procedure for
measuring
theapparent
viscosity of asphalt
from 38 to 260°C
[100 to
500°F]using a rotat
ional viscometer an
d a temperature-
controlledthermal
chamber for
maintaining the test
temperature.1.2 The
values stated in
either SI units or
inch-pound unitsare
to be regarded
separately as
standard. The
values stated ineach
system may not be
exact equivalents; t
herefore, eachsyste
m shall be used
independently of
the other.
Combiningvalues
from the two
systems may result
in non-
conformancewith
the standard.1.3
