• Abstract:
  The Asphalt Content by Ignition test can be used to determine the asphalt content of a hot mix asphalt (HMA). This test, developed by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), burns the asphalt binder from a mix and thus allows the determination of the amount of asphalt binder in the mix. Troxler, Incorporated is one company that has developed an ignition oven for this test. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy and precision values for asphalt content determined by the ignition test with the Troxler furnace. A round robin study using the Thermolyne furnace had been previously conducted (NCAT Report No. 95-3). This limited round robin study was carried out with five participating laboratories; work with the Troxler was performed in 1997. 8p.
