1 Scope
This document specifies a visual method of determining the amount and components of coarse
foreign matter in reclaimed asphalt. A method for determining the amount and components of finer
foreign matter in reclaimed asphalt is given in Annex A. This method does not completely categorize
the foreign matter that can occur in reclaimed asphalt.
NOTE For the use of reclaimed asphalt in bituminous mixtures it is important to know the components in
the reclaimed asphalt and to know to what extent coarse foreign matter is present that can influence the
properties of the bituminous mixture.
