ASTM D2028/D2028M-15 (R2021)e1 PDF Download

ASTM D2028/D2028M-15 (R2021)e1 is a standard specification that pertains to cutback asphalt, specifically the rapid-curing type. The purpose of this standard is to provide requirements for the use of cutback asphalt in the construction and treatment of pavements.

According to this specification, the cutback asphalt should not foam when heated to the application temperature. It also outlines specific requirements for various properties of the cutback asphalt, including kinematic viscosity, flash point, distillate content, amount of residue from distillation, and properties of the residue such as viscosity, ductility, and solubility in trichloroethylene. The water content of the cutback asphalt is also a consideration.

These properties are determined by specific test methods, such as the tag open-cup flash point test, distillation test, and penetration test.

It's important to note that the standard includes explanatory notes and footnotes, but these should not be considered as requirements of the standard, except for those in tables and figures.
