Full Description

1.1This test method covers the determination of pull-off force and pull-off work of asphalt binders and emulsified asphalt residue by means of pull-off testing. The tackiness test is conducted using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) at one or more temperatures.

Note 1:This standard may be used for unconditioned material or material conditioned in accordance with Test Method D2872. The majority of development work on this test method was performed on unconditioned material. The emulsified asphalt residue should never be conditioned.

1.2A precision and bias statement for this standard has not been developed at this time. Therefore, this standard should not be used for acceptance or rejection of a material for purchasing purposes.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
