This specification covers asphalt binders graded by viscosity at 60 °C [140 °F] for use in pavement construction.

1.1This specification covers asphalt binders graded by viscosity at 60 °C [140 °F] for use in pavement construction. Four sets of limits are offered in this specification. The purchaser shall specify the applicable table of limits. In the event the purchaser does not specify limits, Table 1 shall apply. For asphalt binders graded by penetration at 25 °C [77 °F], see Specification D946/D946M. If needed, volume corrections for asphalt binders should be made according to Practice D4311/D4311M.

1.2The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.

1.3This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
