ASTM D5801 helps measure the toughness and tenacity of bituminous materials. ASTM D5801 has been used to characterize elastomer modified asphalts, although values for toughness and tenacity may be obtained for any type of polymer-modified or nonmodified asphalt. ASTM D5801 is useful in confirming that an asphalt cement has been modified with a material that provides a significant elastomeric component.
By means of our testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the testing solution that is right for you. Give one of our application engineers a call today for help with creating the best budget and testing plan according to ASTM D5801.
