ASTM D6847-02 PDF Download

ASTM D6847-02 is a standard test method that outlines a procedure for the quantitative extraction and recovery of asphalt binder from asphalt mixtures, including both hot mix asphalt (HMA) and reclaimed/recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). The purpose of this test method is to extract the asphalt binder from the mixture while minimizing any negative impact on its physical properties. It is primarily used when the physical properties of the recovered asphalt binder need to be determined, but it can also be used to determine the quantity of asphalt binder present in the HMA or RAP.

The test method is applicable for determining the quantity of asphalt binder in the mixture, while the recovered aggregate from the extraction process can be used for sieve analysis. The values provided in this standard are in SI units and are considered the standard, with values in parentheses provided for informational use. Note 1 of the standard recommends that the agency and personnel performing this test should meet the requirements specified in Specification D3666.
