ASTM D113-07

Standard Test Method for Ductility of Bituminous Materials

1. Scope

1.1 This test method describes the procedure for determining the ductility of a bituminous
material measured by the distance to which it will elongate before breaking when two
ends of a briquet specimen of the material, of the form described in Section 4, are pulled
apart at a specified speed and at a specified temperature. Unless otherwise specified, the
test shall be made at a temperature of 25 0.5C and with a speed of 5 cm/min 5.0 %.
At other temperatures the speed should be specified.
