What Is A Minimum Temperature For Asphalt Mixes? |
|
Answer» Mixes must be placed and compacted before they cool to 185° F, so the MINIMUM TEMPERATURE will depend on the temperature of the layer upon which it is being placed as well as ambient CONDITIONS. GENERALLY, agency specifications will spell out a minimum acceptable temperature for the mix. Some specifications will use 225° F, and others MAY use 250° F.
