Specific Gravity Test
AASHTO T 228 test is used to find the specific gravity of the asphalt binder.
Because the specific gravity of asphalt binders changes with temperature, these tests are useful in making volume corrections based on temperature. The specific gravity at 15.6°C (60°F) is commonly used when buying/selling asphalt cements. A typical specific gravity for asphalt is around 1.03.
