ASTM D6373 Performance Grade Binder Testing
The ASTM D6373 Performance Grade Binder Testing is a critical component in the quality assurance process of asphalt materials. This testing method evaluates the binder performance grade (PG) which indicates the temperature range over which an asphalt mixture can be safely used under field conditions. Understanding this performance grade ensures that the pavement will withstand expected traffic loads and environmental stresses without excessive deformation or cracking.
