ASTM D36/D36M-12
Historical Standard: Standard Test Method for Softening Point of Bitumen (Ring-and-Ball Apparatus)
ASTM D36/D36M
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the softening point of bitumen in the range from 30 to 157Ā°C [86 to 315Ā°F] using the ring-and-ball apparatus immersed in distilled water [30 to 80Ā°C] or USP glycerin (above 80 to 157Ā°C).
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
