Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: General Introduction and List of Methods
This test method provides an overview of the 
Deformation Performance of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements Under Full-scale Accelerated Loading
This report details the first phase of Austroads project TT2046 Improving the Cost Effectiveness of Foamed Bitumen Stabilised Pavements which evaluated the deformation performance of foamed bitumen stabilised materials
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Volumetric Calibration of Bitumen Pumping Systems
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: 
Viscosity of Calibration Fluid
This test method sets out the procedure for validating the calibration fluid. The calibration fluid is used for volumetric calibration of bitumen sprayer pumps (AGPT/T531), and also for two methods of determining transverse distribution of bitumen…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Fixed Pit Facility
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Field Mat
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
Calibration of Bitumen Sprayers: Transverse Distribution by Portable Trough
This test method is for bitumen sprayers as specified in AGPT/T530 Calibration of bitumen sprayers: general introduction and list of methods. It sets out the procedures for determining the transverse distribution of bitumen sprayers, and is based on…
Road Speed and Distance Calibration
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the accuracy of road speed indicators used on bitumen sprayers. The road speed of the bitumen sprayer is used in conjunction with the pump volumetric output to enable bituminous materials to be…
Determining the Foaming Characteristics of Bitumen
Foaming of bitumen permits the bitumen to be evenly distributed throughout a soil or a granular material. It is critical for the bitumen to remain as viable foam for a period to enable it to be successfully blended into the host material.
