The table represents the specifications and properties of a sample of Cut-back MC-30 bitumen, tested using various ASTM standards. The sample conforms to the standard ASTM D2027M-13, which specifies requirements for cutback asphalt (liquid petroleum bitumen) that is suitable for use as a paving material.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a breakdown of each row:
1. Kinematic Viscosity @60\u00b0C – ASTMD2170: 50 Cst:<\/strong> This measure of the resistance to flow (or thickness) of the bitumen at 60\u00b0C obtained a value of 50 centistokes (Cst), which falls within the accepted reference range of 30 to 60 Cst.
2. Flash Point – ASTMD3143: 65 \u00b0C:<\/strong> The flash point is the temperature at which bitumen vapors ignite in the presence of an ignition source. This bitumen’s flash point was found to be 65\u00b0C, which is above the minimum reference value of 38\u00b0C.
3. Density @ 15.6 \u00b0C – ASTMD287:<\/strong> 0.945 g\/cm3: This measures the mass per unit volume of the bitumen at 15.6\u00b0C, and was found to be 0.945 g\/cm3.
4. Water Content – ASTMD95: 0.00 %:<\/strong> This test measures the percentage of water in the bitumen. The test found no water (0.00%) in the sample, which is below the maximum allowed reference of 0.2%.
5. Distillation Test – ASTMD402: <\/strong>This test provides the boiling range of bitumen by noting the volume of distillate obtained at certain temperatures. The distillation results at various temperatures (190\u00b0C, 225\u00b0C, 260\u00b0C, and 316\u00b0C) are all within the specified reference ranges.
6. Residue From Distillation To 360 \u00b0C: 70 %: <\/strong>This is the percentage of remaining material (residue) after distilling the bitumen to 360\u00b0C. The residue was found to be 70%, which is above the minimum reference of 55%.
7. Dynamic Viscosity @ 60 \u00b0C ASTMD4402:<\/strong> > 100 Poise (pas.s): This measure of resistance to flow under applied force found that the viscosity at 60\u00b0C was over 100 poise, which is above the minimum reference of 30 poise.
8. Ductility @ 25 \u00b0C ASTMD113:<\/strong> > 150 cm: This measures how much the bitumen can be stretched before it breaks. At 25\u00b0C, the bitumen could stretch more than 150 cm, exceeding the minimum reference of 100 cm.
9. Penetration ASTMD5: <\/strong>180 mm\/10: This measure of the hardness or softness of the bitumen found that the penetration was 180, which falls within the reference range of 120 – 300.
10. Solubility In TCE ASTMD2042: <\/strong>99.60 %: This test measures the solubility of bitumen in trichloroethylene (TCE). The solubility of this bitumen was found to be 99.60%, exceeding the minimum reference of 99%.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the sample of Cut-back MC-30 bitumen not only meets all of the reference standards for its various properties, but it also conforms to ASTM D2027M-13, a standard specification for cutback asphalt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
