ASTM D 402 - 08 Standard Test Method for Distillation of Cutback Asphaltic (Bituminous) Products

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved July 15, 2008. Published August 2008. 5 p. This test method covers a distillation test for cutback asphaltic (bituminous) products.
This procedure measures the amount of the more volatile constituents in cutback asphaltic products. The properties of the residue after distillation are not necessarily characteristic of the bitumen used in the original mixture, nor of the residue which may be left at any particular time after field application of the cutback asphaltic product.
