Scope

1.1 This test method uses a paddle rotational viscometer to measure the apparent viscosity of emulsified asphalt with viscosities between 30 and 1500 mPas (centipoises) at 50C (122F). It is applicable to all emulsified asphalt described in Specifications D 977 and D 2397.

1.2 The values given in SI units are to be considered the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use

This test method is useful to measure the apparent viscosity of emulsified asphalt at a temperature of 50°C (122°F) or another agreed-upon temperature.⁴ The preset temperature and rotational speed at 100 RPM allow for an automated determination of an emulsified asphalt apparent viscosity within 5 min.
