Designation:D1754/D1754M20Standard Test Method forEffects of Heat and Air on Asphaltic Materials(Thin-FilmOven Test)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1754/D1754M;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 test method covers the determination of the effectsof heat and air on a film of semisolid asphaltic materials.Theeffects of this treatment are determined from measurements ofselected asphalt properties before and after the test.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 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,maybe hazardous to health and corrosive to materials.Cautionshould be taken when handling mercury and mercury-containing products.See the applicable Material Safety DataSheet(MSDS)for details and EPAs websitehttp:/www.epa.gov/mercury/index.htmfor additional information.Users should be aware that selling mercury and/or mercury-containing products into your state may be prohibited by statelaw.1.4 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 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.1.6 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-rialsD8 Terminology Relating to Materials for Roads and Pave-mentsD2170/D2170M Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity ofAsphaltsD2171/D2171M Test Method for Viscosity of Asphalts byVacuum Capillary ViscometerD3666 Specification for Minimum Requirements for Agen-cies Testing and Inspecting Road and Paving MaterialsD4753 Guide for Evaluating,Selecting,and Specifying Bal-ances and Standard Masses for Use in Soil,Rock,andConstruction Materials TestingD8055 Guide for Selecting an Appropriate Electronic Ther-mometer for Replacing Mercury Thermometers in D04Road and Paving StandardsE1 Specification for ASTM Liquid-in-Glass ThermometersE77 Test Method for Inspection and Verification of Ther-mometersE145 Specification for Gravity-Convection and Forced-Ventilation OvensE563 Practice for Preparation and Use of an Ice-Point Bathas a Reference TemperatureE644 Test Methods for Testing Industrial Resistance Ther-mometers3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of terms used in this test method may befound in Terminology D8,determined from common Englishusage,or combinations of both.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.46 onDurability and Distillation Tests.Current edition approved Nov.1,2020.Published November 2020.Originallyapproved in 1960.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D1754/D1754M 09(2014).DOI:10.1520/D1754_D1754M-20.2For 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 Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 A film of asphaltic material is heated in an oven for 5 hat 163 C 325 F.The effects of heat and air are determinedfrom changes incurred in physical properties measured beforeand after the oven treatment.An optional procedure is providedfor determining the change in sample mass.4.2 Precision values for the method
