Bitumen Content1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original
adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript
epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. Although this test method was withdrawn by the
Society in June 1966 at the request of Committee D04, the Committee on Standards has approved its reinstatement under the jurisdiction
of Committee D08 on the basis that Procedure No. 2 still applies to their interest. Procedure No. 1 has been replaced by Method D 2042,
Test for Solubility of Asphalt Materials in Trichloroethylene.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of bitumen
content in materials containing at least 25 % bitumen. Bitumen
content may usually be expeditiously and accurately determined by Procedure No. 1, Section 7. However, some bituminous materials containing finely divided mineral matter may
clog the filter or the mineral residue may not be easily retained,
in which cases Procedure No. 2, Section 8, shall be followed.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability and regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific
precautionary information, see Section 4.
NOTE 1For filled asphaltic materials, trichloroethylene may be directly substituted for carbon disulfide if desired. However, carbon disulfide shall be used in referee testing.

4. Safety Precautions
4.1 Carbon disulfide is extremely flammable. The vapor will
often ignite spontaneously on contact with a hot surface such as
a hot plate, oven, or radiator. When using this solvent, be sure
that the filtration is conducted under a hood and well away
from flame or other sources of heat. Before placing crucibles or
other containers in the oven, all traces of carbon disulfide
should be removed (as indicated by the disappearance of all
odor). Otherwise, the vapors will ignite. Carbon disulfide is
also very irritating to the skin and direct contact should be
avoided.

laboratory supply houses such as Fisher Scientific. An alternative is Royal Berlin
2A2 (size equivalent to FC 40) from Fish Schurman Corp., 70 Portman Road, New
Rochelle, NY 10802.
5. Preparation of Sample
5.1 The sample shall be representative, and if it contains
more than 2 % of water it shall be dehydrated in accordance
with Test Method D 370. If the material is hard and brittle, it
may be ground and dried at a temperature below the temperature of volatilization of the material.

8.7 The mass of additional filter aid used must be subtracted
from the total mass of insoluble residue and also from the total
mass of mineral matter in the crucible in order to obtain net
mass.
9. Calculation
9.1 Calculate the bitumen content, as follows:
A
% Bitumen ~% Soluble in Carbon Disulfide! 5 100 2 B 3 100
where:
A = total mass of insoluble material present, g, and
B = total mass of water free sample used, g.

For definitions of terms and recommended use of precision indexes, see
Practice E 177. The estimates of standard deviation are based on the following:
B
The standard deviations shown (sr8) represent the estimated standard
deviation of the measurement process for the stated conditions. They are
calculated by multiplying the standard deviations of the applicable data by the
factor 1 + 14 (N 1) where N is the number of tests in the set of data.
C
Two results obtained by an operator on the same sample should be considered suspect if they differ by more than the stated amount. As defined in Practice
E 177, this is the difference two-sigma limits for single-laboratory-operatormachine-multiday precision.
D
Two results obtained by operators in different laboratories should be considered suspect if they differ by more than the stated amount. As defined in Practice
E 177 this is the difference two-sigma limits for multilaboratory-operatormachine-day precision.
