Methods of testing bitumen and related roadmaking products Determination of the effect of heat and air on a moving film of bitumen (rolling thin film oven (RTFO) test)
Standards Australia
This Standard sets out a treatment of bituminous binders which is intended to simulate the conditions obtained when the binders are used to manufacture hot-mixed asphalt. The change in the binder properties prior to and after treatment as specified by this test method may be determined in several ways. This method determines the change in mass of the sample under test and in addition makes a treated residue available for further testing.
This method is applicable to bitumens used in the construction and maintenance of pavements (as specified in AS 2008) and polymer modified binders (PMBs) as specified in AGPT-T190.
