ASTM D5710/D5710M-15 PDF Download

The ASTM D5710/D5710M-15 standard is a specification that outlines the requirements for Trinidad lake modified asphalt, specifically used in pavement construction. This standard ensures that the blended Trinidad lake modified asphalt is of high quality and consistency.

The standard outlines several key tests that must be conducted to evaluate the properties of the modified asphalt. These tests include measuring the penetration, flash point, thin-film oven, solubility in trichloroethylene, and ductility of the material. These tests are conducted to ensure that the modified asphalt meets the specified requirements.

Additionally, the standard specifies tests for the inorganic material (ash), quantitative extraction of bitumen from bituminous paving mixtures, recovery of asphalt from solution by Abson method, and kinematic viscosity of asphalt. These tests are important in assessing the composition and performance characteristics of the modified asphalt.
