650. Road Materials Testing. [Henderson and Assistant.]

6 hours a week.

Standard tests of Portland cement. Samples of stone are tested for
specific gravity, absorption, cementing value, toughness, resistance to abrasion,
and compressive strength. Asphalts and tars are tested for specific
gravity, penetration, melting point, volatilization, viscosity, flash point, fixed
carbon. (Winter.)
