Designation:D4311/D4311M15Standard Practice forDetermining Asphalt Volume Correction to a BaseTemperature1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4311/D4311M;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 practice provides tables of volume correctionfactors which may be used to convert volumes of asphaltmeasured at different temperatures to a volume at a standardbase temperature.These tables are applicable to all types ofasphalts except emulsified asphalts.1.2 This practice provides tables to convert asphalt volumesto 15C 60F from volumes measured at any temperaturefrom 25 to+275C 0 to 500F.1.3 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 non-conformancewith the standard.NOTE1Correction factors in Table 1 and Table 2 are for use in placeof correction factors provided in Guide D1250,which do not addressrequirements for asphalt specifications.22.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D70 Test Method for Density of Semi-Solid BituminousMaterials(Pycnometer Method)D1250 Guide for Use of the Petroleum Measurement TablesD3142 Test Method for Specific Gravity,API Gravity,orDensity of Cutback Asphalts by Hydrometer MethodD3289 Test Method for Density of Semi-Solid and SolidBituminous Materials(Nickel Crucible Method)3.Significance and Use3.1 Asphalts change in volume with change in temperature.They are loaded or transferred at widely varying temperatures.Volume correction factors are used to adjust bulk volumesmeasured at those temperatures to corresponding volumes at abase temperature of 15C or 60F for the purposes of custodytransfer and accounting operations.3.2 Correction factors as provided in this practice haveproven to be sufficiently accurate for the intended purposes.3.3 Coefficients of expansion used for development of datain this practice are as follows:TableColumn AColumn B10.000350.0004020.000630.000724.Procedure4.1 Volume correction factors are provided for volumeadjustments to 15C in Table 1 and 60F in Table 2.Thetables are entered with asphalt temperature at which bulkvolume is measured.4.2 The tables provide two sets of factors in columnslabeled A and B.The selection of the appropriate column,A orB,is defined by table footnotes.The selection is based onasphalt density at 15C,API gravity at 60F,or by thespecific gravity 60/60F.Column A factors apply to themajority of asphalts.4.2.1 Values for density at 15C,API gravity at 60F,andspecific gravity 60/60F may be obtained by Test MethodD70,Test Method D3289,or Test Method D3142.4.2.2 Volume correction factors(see Note 2)for Table 1were generated using the following formulas:4.2.2.1 Table 1A Factor Asphalts:A 5 1.009468412 6.3341341131024TC!#11.4571041631027TC!#2(1)where:A=volume correction factor,andT(C)=temperature of asphalt in C.4.2.2.2 Table 1B Factor Asphalts:1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Road andPaving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.40 onAsphalt Specifications.Current edition approved Jan.1,2015.Published February 2015.Originallyapproved in 1983.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D4311/D4311M 09.DOI:10.1520/D4311_D4311M-15.2Factors originally published for Groups 0 and 1 oils in Tables 7,25,and 55 inD1250 52 T.Last previous edition D1250 04.3For 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 States1 TABLE 1 Volume Reduction to 15CObservedTemperature,CVolume CorrectionA,BFactor to15CObservedTemperature,CVolume CorrectionA,BFactor to15CObservedTemperature,CVolume CorrectionA,BFactor to15CABABAB25.01.02541.029001.00951.010825.00.99370.992924.51.02511.02870.51.00921.010425.50.99340.992524.01.02481.02831.01.00881.010126.00.99310.992123.51.02441.02791.51.00851.009726.50.99280.991823.01.02411.02762.01.00821.009427.00.99250.991422.51.02381.02722.51.00791.009027.50.99220.991122.01.02351.02683.01.00761.008628.00.99180.990721.51.02321.02653.51.00731.008328.50.99150.990421.01.02281.02614.01.00691.007929.00.99120.990020.51.02251.02574.51.00661.007629.50.99090.989720.01.02221.02545.01.00631.007230.00.99060.989319.51.02191.02505.51.00601.006830.50.99030.988919.01.02161.02466.01.00571.006531.00.99000.988618.51.02121.02436.51.00541.006131.50.98970.988218.01.02091.02397.01.00501.005732.00.98930.987917.51.02061.02357.51.0
