USING IGNITION OVENS TO DETERMINE ASPHALT CONTENT AND TO PREPARE AGGREGATES FOR SIEVE ANALYSIS

The Materials and Tests Division's Bituminous Section evaluated the ignition method as an alternative to the solvent method for determining asphalt content. Three ovens (the Gilson Asphalt Binder Ignition Furnace, Model HM 378; the NCAT Asphalt Content Tester; and the Troxler Asphalt Quality Analyzer) were evaluated for accuracy, precision, and performance. Ignition was proven to be an appropriate method of determining asphalt content. The test procedure resulting from this work is Tex-236-F, which is included in Appendix A.
