... 18 CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 GENERAL This study was conducted to prepare precision estimates for AASHTO standards found in AASHTO Standard Specification M320, "Performance-Graded Asphalt Binder", and for AASHTO Standard Test Method T308, "Determining the Asphalt Binder Content of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) by the Ignition Method".

... 19 difficulty in achieving the required rate of temperature rise and improper application of barometric correction. Conclusion: The precision estimates for flash point should be revised.
From page 27...
... 20 A review of the data showed that the standard deviation changed for different values of mass loss. Coefficient of variation also was not appropriate since standard deviation was not proportional to mass loss.
From page 28...
... 21 Conclusion: A precision and bias statement is needed. Recommendation: It is recommended that the precision and bias statement in Section 4.9 be adopted for T314.
From page 29...
... 22 Conclusion: The precision and bias statement currently published in T316-04 should be revised. Recommendation: It is recommended that the precision and bias statement in Section 4.11 be adopted for T316.
