Sec. 17-88. - Same—Binder course.
The ingredients for the binder course shall consist of asphalt, cement, portland cement or stone, dust, sand and gravel, or crushed stone mixed in the following proportions:
Bitumen, 4 to 7 percent.
Crushed stone or gravel passing 1¼-inch mesh, and retained on 1½-inch mesh, 30 to 50 percent.
Crushed stone or gravel passing a ¼-inch screen and retained on 10-mesh, 30 to 60 percent.
The balance of the aggregates from 10 to 20 percent, to be composed of sand and fine material of various sizes, from 10-mesh down to dust.
Sec. 17-89. - Same—Asphalt surface.
(a)   The ingredients for the asphalt wearing surface shall be asphalt cement, sand, portland cement or dust in the following proportions:
Bitumen, 8 to 11 percent.
Total passing 200-mesh sieve, not less than 10 percent.
Total passing 80-mesh sieve, 20 to 35 percent.
Total passing 40-mesh sieve, 45 to 60 percent.
Total passing 8-mesh sieve, 99 to 100 percent.
(b)   The minimum amount of bitumen shall be used only in mixtures containing the minimum total, passing the 80-mesh sieve. The percentage of bitumen must be increased above the minimum as the total passing the 80-mesh sieve increases.
(c)   The above limits as to mesh composition and percentage of bitumen are intended to provide for such permissible variations as may be deemed necessary by the character and location of the work to be done. When the materials which are to be used have been tested, and the proper grading secured, no variation is to be made, except with the consent of, or at the direction of the urban county engineer.
Sec. 17-90. - Same—Asphalt cement, composition.
(a)   The asphaltic cement shall consist essentially of a refined, solid-native lake asphalt softened with a liquid petroleum flux.
(b)   Refined, solid-native lake asphalt shall be construed to signify any native mineral bitumen produced by refining a crude native lake asphalt which through natural causes, in the process of time, has been reduced to consistency harder then 10 millimeters in penetration, and which, without the addition of any other material has the following characteristics:
Water, none.
Penetration at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, number 2 needle, 100 grams, 5 seconds, not over 3 millimeters.
Percentage total bitumen soluble in carbon tetrachloride, not less than 99 percent.
Residual coke (ash free), not more than 15 percent.
Paraffin scale, not more than 0.1 percent.
Sulphur, not less than 3 percent.
(c)   Liquid petroleum flux shall be construed to signify any residuum consisting of the heavier and higher boiling portions of petroleum, free from decomposition products, which has the following characteristics:
Water, none.
Specific gravity at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, between .92 and 1.02.
Penetration at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, number 2 needle, 50 grams, 1 second, not less than 35 millimeters.
Bitumen soluble in carbon disulfide not less than 99.5 percent.
Flash test not less than 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sec. 17-91. - Same—Properties.
The asphaltic cement shall be prepared solely from materials of the character described in section 17-90, so as to produce a cementitious material, which must comply in all respects with the following practical and established tests:
(1)   The asphalt cements as used must have a ductility of not less than 40 centimeters at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the District of Columbia standard. Its specific gravity shall be not less than 1.04 at 77, degrees Fahrenheit.
(2)   The asphalt cement must not contain more than 1 percents of paraffin scale, as determined by the Holde Method.
(3)   A number 2 needle, weighted 100 grams, shall penetrate in 5 seconds at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, a distance of 35 to 60 on a Dow machine.
Sec. 17-92. - Same—Oil asphalt.
(a)   The asphalt cement shall be prepared by the careful distillation of petroleum with steam agitation, at a temperature not exceeding 700 degrees Fahrenheit until its consistency is reduced to between 35 and 60, with a number 2 needle weighted to 100 grams. All shipments shall be marked with a lot number and 10 samples taken at random from each lot shall not vary more than 5 on a Dow machine, above or below the penetration established by the urban county engineer, nor more than 10 percent from the average of ductility.
(b)   It shall be in addition thereto comply with the following practical and established tests:
(1)   It shall be thoroughly homogeneous.
(2)   The specific gravity at 77 degrees Fahrenheit shall be not less than unity nor more than 1.435.
(3)   The melting point (B. & R. Method) shall not be less than 130 degrees Fahrenheit nor more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
(4)   The flash point (Cleveland open cup) shall not be less than 460 degrees Fahrenheit.
(5)   The penetration at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (100 grams, 5 seconds) shall not be less than 40 nor more than 60 M.
(6)   The penetration at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (200 grams, 1 minute) shall not be less than 20 M.
(7)   The penetration at 115 degrees Fahrenheit (50 grams, 5 seconds) shall not be more than 200 M.
(8)   The loss upon heating a 50-gram sample of the material in a cylindrical dish 2 3/16inches in diameter, and 1 3/8 inches high for 5 hours at 325 degrees Fahrenheit shall not exceed 1 percent by weight and the reduction in penetration at 77 degrees Fahrenheit due to such heating shall not exceed 40 percent.
(9)   The ductility at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (5 cm per min. Dow mold) shall not be less than 40 cm nor more than 85 cm.
(10)   The fixed carbon content shall not exceed 15.5 percent.
(11)   The asphaltic cement shall be soluble in carbon bisulfide and carbon tetrachloride to the extent of not less than 99.5 percent.
