• Abstract:
  The objective of this project was to establish specifications to assure use of superior asphalts by the Texas Highway Department. Viscosities of 25 asphalts of 85-100 and 120-150 penetration used by the Texas Highway Department were determined at temperatures from 51 to 325°F. Measurements were made by the microfilm (sliding plate), Saybolt-Furol (efflux), Brookfield (rotating spindle), and capillary tube (Cannon- Manning vacuum- type) viscometers. It was found that kinematic viscosity limits at 275°F should be higher than those prescribed by the Asphalt Institute, a range of kinematic viscosity at 140°F should be made a specification test for quality paving cements, and a range of absolute viscosity at 95°F should be given careful consideration.
