• Abstract:
  The objective of this research was to establish specifications to ensure use of superior asphalts by the Texas Highway Department. Viscosities were determined for (a) 9 asphalts (150-200 penetration) obtained in 1959, (b) 24 asphalts (85-100 penetration) obtained in 1962, (c) 18 asphalts (120-150 penetration) obtained in 1962, and (d) 9 asphalts (150-200 penetration) obtained in 1962. Viscosities at 77°'F were measured in the thin film (Hallikainen) viscometer, and those at 140° and 275° F were measured in the Cannon-Manning vacuum type capillary tube viscometer.
