AASHTO T 110-03 (2020) PDF Download

AASHTO T 110-03 (2020) is a standard method used to determine the moisture or volatile distillates in hot-mix asphalt (HMA). It is similar to ASTM D1461-85 (2006) but not identical. The purpose of this method is to directly measure the moisture or volatile fractions present in the bitumen of HMA.

The standard provides guidance on how to conduct the test, including the necessary apparatus and materials. The method involves heating a sample of the HMA and collecting the moisture or volatile distillates that are released. The collected distillates are then quantified to determine the amount of moisture or volatile fractions present in the HMA.

AASHTO T 110-03 (2020) is an important standard in the asphalt industry as it allows for the accurate assessment of moisture or volatile content in HMA. This information is essential for ensuring the quality and performance of asphalt pavements, as excessive moisture or volatile distillates can lead to issues such as cracking and reduced durability.
