ASTM D2171 Standard Test Method for Viscosity of Asphalts by Vacuum Capillary Viscometer -- eLearning Course

About the Course

This course covers the quantitative determination of residue in emulsified asphalts composed principally of a semisolid or liquid asphaltic base, water, and an emulsifying agent.

The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Define apparatus and related components used for the determination of the apparent viscosity of asphalt binder by vacuum capillary viscometers at 60C [140F], including thermometer type and vacuum system tolerance.
• Recognize sample preparation requirements outlined in ASTM D2171/D2171M.
• Recall procedure for the determination of the apparent viscosity of asphalt binder by vacuum capillary viscometers at 60C [140F].
