Bitumen (Ext)

This document provides instructions for performing a bitumen extraction test according to ASTM D2172. The test involves weighing a sample before and after bitumen extraction to determine the weight of bitumen extracted. The total ash in the mix and bitumen content are then calculated based on the extracted weights. Sieve analysis is also performed to determine gradation and ensure it meets the job mix formula limits.
