AS 2341.16:1994 PDF Download

The AS 2341.16:1994 standard is a document that provides guidelines for testing bitumen and related roadmaking products, specifically for determining the flashpoint of cutback bitumen. The flashpoint is the temperature at which a substance can ignite when it is exposed to an open flame or heat source.

This standard outlines a specific procedure for determining the flashpoint of cutback bitumens that have a flashpoint of 110°C or lower. The test method described in the standard involves using a closed cup flash point tester, which is a device used to measure the flashpoint of a substance in a closed environment.

By following the guidelines in this standard, testing laboratories and manufacturers can ensure that the flashpoint of cutback bitumens is accurately determined, which is important for evaluating the safety and quality of these materials for roadmaking applications. It allows for consistency and comparability of test results, ensuring the reliability of the flashpoint values provided for cutback bitumens in accordance with AS 2341.16:1994.
