This test method covers the determination of cracking temperatures of asphalt binders by the means of an Asphalt Binder Cracking Device (ABCD). This device can be used with unaged material or with material aged using AASHTO T 240 or R 28, or both. The test apparatus is designed for testing a cracking temperature in the range of –60 to +20°C.
This standard was formerly designated as provisional standard TP 92.
