Standard Test Method for Separation of Asphalt into Four Fractions
Also Known As:
ASTM D4124-09 (R2018) is a standard test method that is used to separate asphalt into four distinct fractions for analysis. The purpose of this test method is to evaluate the composition of asphalt, which can provide insights into the processing and aging parameters that affect its performance properties.
The test method involves the separation of four defined fractions from petroleum asphalts, namely saturates, naphthene aromatics, polar aromatics, and iso-octane insoluble asphaltenes. These fractions are isolated using this method, which can also be applied to distillate products like vacuum gas oils, lubricating oils, and cycle stocks, where the presence of asphaltenes is usually not expected.
It is important to note that this test method does not provide a precision estimate, so it is primarily intended for research or informational purposes. It should not be used to accept or reject materials for purchasing purposes.
