Information on Performance Graded (PG) systems and how variability in testing can affect results.
The , titled The Asphalt Binder Handbook , is considered the authoritative primary reference for information regarding asphalt binders (bitumen) in the paving industry. It serves as a comprehensive consolidation of material previously scattered across multiple manuals, including SP-1, MS-4, MS-5, MS-19, and MS-25.
