Designation:D4311/D4311M21Standard 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 15 C 60 F from volumes measured at any temperaturefrom 25 to+275 C 0 to 500 F.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 nonconformancewith 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.21.4 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.1.5 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:3D70/D70M Test Method for Specific Gravity and Density ofSemi-Solid Asphalt Binder(Pycnometer Method)D1250 Guide for the Use of the Joint API and ASTMAdjunct for Temperature and Pressure Volume CorrectionFactors for Generalized Crude Oils,Refined Products,andLubricating Oils:API MPMS Chapter 11.1D3142/D3142M Test Method for Specific Gravity,APIGravity,or Density of Cutback Asphalts by HydrometerMethodD3289 Test Method for Density of Semi-Solid and SolidAsphalt 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 15 C or 60 F for the purposes ofcustody transfer 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 15 C in Table 1 and 60 F 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 on1This 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 Dec.15,2021.Published January 2022.Originallyapproved in 1983.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as D4311/D4311M 15.DOI:10.1520/D4311_D4311M-21.2Factors 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1?TABLE 1 Volume Reduction to 15 CObservedTemperature,CVolume CorrectionA,BFactor to15 CObservedTemperature,CVolume CorrectionA,BFactor to15 CObservedTemperature,CVolume CorrectionA,BFactor to15 CABABAB25.01.02541.029001.00951.010825.00.99370.992924.51.02511.02870.51.00921.010425.50.99340.992524.01.02481.02831.01.00881.010126.00.99310.992123.51.02441.02791.51.00851.009726.50.99280.991823.01.02411.02762.01.00821.009427.00.99250.991422.51.02381.02722.51.00791.009027.50.
