Designation:D6114/D6114M19Standard Specification forAsphalt-Rubber Binder1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6114/D6114M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers asphalt-rubber binder,consist-ing of a blend of asphalt binder,ground recycled tire(that is,vulcanized)rubber,and other additives,as needed,for use asbinder in pavement construction.The rubber shall be blendedand interacted in the hot asphalt binder sufficiently to causeswelling of the rubber particles prior to use.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.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 of the standard.1.4 Since a precision estimate for this standard has not beendeveloped,the test method is to be used for research andinformational purposes only.Therefore,this standard shouldnot be used for acceptance or rejection of a material forpurchasing purposes.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.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains to the testmethod portions only,Sections 4 and 5 of this specification:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety,health,and environmental practices and determine the appli-cability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precau-tionary statements are given in 4.3.2.1.6 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:2D5/D5M Test Method for Penetration of Bituminous Mate-rialsD36/D36M Test Method for Softening Point of Bitumen(Ring-and-Ball Apparatus)D92 Test Method for Flash and Fire Points by ClevelandOpen Cup TesterD140/D140M Practice for Sampling Asphalt MaterialsD946/D946M Specification for Penetration-Graded AsphaltBinder for Use in Pavement ConstructionD1566 Terminology Relating to RubberD1754/D1754M Test Method for Effects of Heat and Air onAsphaltic Materials(Thin-Film Oven Test)D1864/D1864M Test Method for Moisture in Mineral Ag-gregate Used on Built-Up RoofsD2872 Test Method for Effect of Heat and Air on a MovingFilm of Asphalt(Rolling Thin-Film Oven Test)D3381/D3381M Specification for Viscosity-Graded AsphaltBinder for Use in Pavement ConstructionD3666 Specification for Minimum Requirements for Agen-cies Testing and Inspecting Road and Paving MaterialsD4402/D4402M Test Method for Viscosity Determination ofAsphalt at Elevated Temperatures Using a RotationalViscometerD5329 Test Methods for Sealants and Fillers,Hot-Applied,for Joints and Cracks in Asphalt Pavements and PortlandCement Concrete Pavements1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.40 onAsphalt Specifications.Current edition approved July 1,2019.Published August 2019.Originallyapproved in 1997.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D6114/D6114M 09which was withdrawn January 2018 and reinstated in July 2019.DOI:10.1520/D6114_D6114M-19.2For 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.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 recogni
