3. Terminology
3.1 Defmitions
3.1.1 Definitions for many terms common to asphalt cement are found in ASTM D8.
3.1.2 asphalt binder — an asphalt-based cement that is produced from petroleum residue either with or without the addition of non-particulate organic modifiers.
4. Ordering Information – When ordering under this specification, include in the purchase order the performance grade of asphalt binder required from Table 1 (e.g. PG 52-16 or PG 64-34).
4.1 Asphalt binder grades may be selected by following the procedures described in MP2 and PP28.
5. Materials and Manufacture
5.1 Asphalt cement shall be prepared by the refining of crude petroleum by suitable methods, with or without the addition of modifiers.
5.2 Modifiers may be any organic material of suitable manufacture, used in virgin or recycled condition, and that is dissolved, dispersed or reacted in asphalt cement to enhance its performance.
5.3 The asphalt binder shall be homogeneous, free from water and deleterious materials, and shall not foam when heated to 175°C.
5.4 The asphalt binder shall be at least 99.0 percent soluble as determined by T44 or D5546.
5.5 This specification is not applicable for asphalt binders in which fibers or other discrete particles are larger than 250 jLm in size.
5.6 The grades of asphalt binder shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1.
6. Sampling – The material shall be sampled in accordance with Method T 40.
7. Test Methods – The properties outlined in 5.3, 5.4 and 5.6 shall be determined in accordance with T44,
T48, T55, T240, PP1, TP1, TP3, TP5 and ASTM D4402.
8. Inspection and Certification – Inspection and certification of the material shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller. Specific requirements shall be made part of the purchase contract. The seller shall provide material handling and storage procedures to the purchaser for such asphalt binder grade certified.
9. Rejection and Rehearing – If the results of any test do not conform to the requirements of this specification, retesting to determine conformity is performed as indicated in the purchase order or as otherwise agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller.
