The objective of this research was to determine the viscosities of asphalt cements at 60° and 50°F, and their microductilities at 77° and 60°F. The conclusions were as follows: (1) Determination of the viscosities of asphalt cements at 50° and 60°F has led to the conclusion that methods other than the thin film, sliding plate viscometer should be u
