Designation:D11317American Association StateHighway and Transportation Officials StandardAASHTO No.:T51Standard Test Method forDuctility of Asphalt Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D113;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes the procedure for determin-ing the ductility of an asphalt material measured by thedistance to which it will elongate before breaking when twoends of a briquet specimen of the material,of the formdescribed in 4.1,are pulled apart at a specified speed and at aspecified temperature.Unless otherwise specified,the test shallbe made at a temperature of 25 6 0.5 C 77 6 0.9 F andwith a speed of 5 cm/min 6 5.0%.At other temperatures thespeed should be specified.1.2 Because of the large number of methods for obtainingtest samples,it is impractical to discuss specific products in thistest method.Refer to individual product specifications forguidance in obtaining a test sample.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 The values stated in SI units or inch-pound units are tobe regarded separately as standard.The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each systemshall be used independently of each other.Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thestandard.Bath and mold dimensions are given in SI units only,as the equipment is not available in inch-pound units.1.5 WarningMercury has been designated by the UnitedStates Environmental Protection Agency and many state agen-cies as a hazardous material that can cause central nervoussystem,kidney,and liver damage.Mercury or its vapor may behazardous to health and corrosive to materials.Caution shouldbe taken when handling mercury and mercury-containingproducts.See the applicable product Safety Data Sheet(SDS)for details and the EPAs website(http:/www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm)for additional information.Users should beaware that selling mercury or mercury-containing products,orboth,in your state may be prohibited by state law.1.6 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.1.7 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:2C670 Practice for Preparing Precision and Bias Statementsfor Test Methods for Construction MaterialsD5/D5M Test Method for Penetration of Bituminous Mate-rialsD402/D402M Test Method for Distillation of Cutback As-phaltD1754/D1754M Test Method for Effects of Heat and Air onAsphaltic Materials(Thin-Film Oven Test)D2872 Test Method for Effect of Heat and Air on a MovingFilm of Asphalt(Rolling Thin-Film Oven Test)D3666 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 AsphaltD7403 Test Method for Determination of Residue of Emul-sified Asphalt by Low-Temperature Vacuum DistillationD7497 Practice for Recovering Residue from Emulsified1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.44 onRheological Tests.Current edition approved Dec.15,2017.Published January 2018.Originallyapproved in 1921.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as D113 07 which waswithdrawn January 2016 and reinstated in December 2017.DOI:10.1520/D0113-17.2For 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 recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trad
