Abstract

Sets out procedures for the determination of kinematic viscosity of bituminous materials having kinematic viscosities in the range 2 mm(sup)2(/sup)/s to 300 000 mm(sup)2(/sup)/s.

Scope

This Standard sets out procedures for the determination of kinematic viscosity of bituminous materials having kinematic viscosities in the range 2 mm2/s to 300 000 mm2/s (approximate dynamic viscosities 0.002 Pa.s to 300 Pa.s) using two different types of reverse flow capillary tube viscometers. In particular the method is applicable to residual bitumen for pavements (as specified in AS 2008), cutback bitumen (as specified in AS 2157) and road tar for pavements (as specified in AS 1507).
