Tests on Emulsion
Residue by Evaporation (%)
Code: This test is done as per IS: 8887-2004
Procedure:
Weigh 50 ± 0.1 g of thoroughly mixed emulsion into each of three beakers each of which has previously been weighed with the glass rod. Place the beaker along with the rod in the oven at 163 ± 2.8 °C for 2 h. At the end of this period remove each beaker and stir the residue thoroughly. Replace in the oven for another 1 h then remove and cool at room temperature, weigh the beakers along with the rods.
TESTS ON RESIDUE
Penetration
Determine penetration on a sample of the residue in accordance with IS 1203.
Ductility
Determine the ductility on a representative portion of the residue in accordance with IS 1208.
Solubility in Trichloroethylene
Determine the solubility in trichloroethylene on a representative sample of the residue in accordance with IS 1216.
Uses:
Used to determine the Stability to mixing with cement on emulsion.
