AS 2341.6:1992 PDF Download

AS 2341.6:1992 is a standard that provides a method for determining the density of bituminous materials using a hydrometer. The standard specifies that the method is suitable for low viscosity materials with a viscosity of 1.0 Pa.s or less at the testing temperature. This method is primarily used for road tars and cutback bitumen where the presence of highly volatile materials is minimal.

The standard outlines a procedure for conducting the density determination using a hydrometer. It may involve measuring the density of bituminous materials at various temperatures to account for thermal expansion or contraction. The hydrometer is used to measure the density of the material by determining its specific gravity.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent and reliable method for determining the density of bituminous materials, especially those used in roadmaking. By adhering to this standard, the density of bituminous materials can be accurately measured, allowing for quality control and ensuring compliance with specifications and regulations.
