Description / Abstract:
This test method covers the determination of cracking
temperatures of asphalt binders by the means of an Asphalt Binder
Cracking Device (ABCD). This device can be used with unaged
material or with material aged using T 240 (RTFOT) or R 28 (PAV),
or both. The test apparatus is designed for testing a cracking
temperature in the range of –60 to +20°C.
This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations,
and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
