The bitumen extraction test is a laboratory test that determines the amount of bitumen actually used as binder in an asphalt concrete. It ensures that the correct binder content has been used in an asphalt mix.
The test determines the water and binder contents of a mix simultaneously by hot extraction using a solvent that forms an azeotropic mixture with water. The binder weight is calculated as the difference between the weight of the sample and that of the aggregate and water.
