Designation:D693522Standard Test Method forDetermining Cement Mixing of Emulsified Asphalt1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6935;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method is intended to be a mixing test used toidentify or classify a slow-setting,SS or CSS,type of emulsi-fied asphalt.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measure are included in thisstandard.1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material.These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not be consideredas requirements for the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C115/C115M Test Method for Fineness of Portland Cementby the Turbidimeter(Withdrawn 2018)3C150/C150M Specification for Portland CementD3666 Specification for Minimum Requirements for Agen-cies Testing and Inspecting Road and Paving MaterialsD6934 Test Method for Residue by Evaporation of Emulsi-fied AsphaltD6997 Test Method for Distillation of Emulsified AsphaltE11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and TestSieves3.Significance and Use3.1 The result of this test method indicates the ability of aslow-setting emulsified asphalt to mix with a finely divided,high-surface-area material(high early strength,Type III port-land cement)without breaking the emulsified asphalt.NOTE1The quality of the results produced by this standard aredependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedureand the capability,calibration,and maintenance of the equipment used.Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification D3666 are generallyconsidered capable of competent and objective testing,sampling,inspection,etc.Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance withSpecification D3666 alone does not completely ensure reliable results.Reliable results depend on many factors;following the suggestions ofSpecification D3666 or some similar acceptable guideline provides ameans of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.4.Sample Conditioning for Testing4.1 All emulsified asphalts shall be properly stirred toachieve homogeneity before testing.4.2 All emulsified asphalts with viscosity testing require-ments of 50 C shall be heated to 50 6 3 C in the originalsample container in a water bath or oven.The container shouldbe vented to relieve pressure.After the sample reaches 50 63 C,stir the sample to achieve homogeneity.4.3 Emulsified asphalts with viscosity testing requirementsof 25 C should be mixed or stirred at 25 6 3 C in the originalsample container to achieve homogeneity.NOTE2Emulsified asphalts with viscosity testing requirements of25 C may be heated and stirred as specified in 4.2,if necessary.In theevent the 4.2 method is used,the sample should be cooled to 25 6 3 Cbefore testing.5.Apparatus5.1 SievesA 180 m sieve and a 1.40 mm sieve with adiameter of approximately 75 mm,made of wire cloth con-forming to Specification E11.5.2 PanA tin box cover or shallow metal pan of appro-priate size to fit over the bottom of the standard sieve.5.3 Mixing BowlA round-bottom metal dish or a kitchensaucepan of approximately 500 mL capacity.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.42 onEmulsified Asphalt Test.Current edition approved Nov.1,2022.Published November 2022.Originallyapproved in 2004.Last previous edition approved in 2017 as D6935 17.DOI:10.1520/D6935-22.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of In
