About This Item
ASTM E102/E102M is the ASTM standard for measuring Saybolt Furol viscosity of bituminous materials at high temperatures. It provides a consistent test method for evaluating how these materials flow under elevated heat, which is important for material selection, processing, and quality control. As a recognized technical document, ASTM E102/E102M helps users compare results more reliably and supports consistent reporting across testing and procurement workflows.
Purpose of ASTM E102/E102M
The purpose of this standard is to define a test method for determining Saybolt Furol viscosity in bituminous materials when tested at high temperatures. That makes it useful where controlled measurement of flow behavior is needed for technical evaluation and compliance. ASTM E102/E102M gives laboratories and users a common basis for testing, helping reduce variation in results and supporting more dependable comparisons between batches, suppliers, or material specifications.
Common use cases of ASTM E102/E102M
This standard is commonly used in laboratory and quality assurance settings involving bituminous materials that must be evaluated at elevated temperatures. It may be applied during material acceptance testing, product comparison, or routine control of viscosity-related properties. ASTM E102/E102M is also relevant when organizations need a recognized ASTM standard to support documentation, specification checking, or consistent test reporting for heated asphaltic products and related materials.
Why ASTM E102/E102M matters
ASTM E102/E102M matters because viscosity at high temperatures can influence handling, performance, and fit for use in bituminous materials. Using a standardized method supports repeatable results, which is valuable for quality control, product evaluation, and procurement decisions. It also helps reduce uncertainty when comparing materials or verifying conformance to project requirements, making the testing process more consistent and defensible across laboratories and supply chains.
