  2. Bituminous waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bituminous_waterproofing

    ASTM 4869-03 now includes the non-perforated felt referred to in ASTM D226-97a which will be phased out. ASTM 4869-03 includes a liquid-water transmission test (shower test) and dimensional stability limits (wrinkling) which ASTM D226-97a does not include. [8] Type 1 - #8. Formerly ASTM D4869-93 Type I; Type 2 - #13. Formerly ASTM D226-97a Type ...

  3. Bitumen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitumen

    Mastic asphalt is a type of asphalt that differs from dense graded asphalt (asphalt concrete) in that it has a higher bitumen content, usually around 7–10% of the whole aggregate mix, as opposed to rolled asphalt concrete, which has only around 5% asphalt. This thermoplastic substance is widely used in the building industry for waterproofing ...

  4. Pitch (resin) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_(resin)

    Pitch produced from petroleum may be called bitumen or asphalt, while plant-derived pitch, a resin, is known as rosin in its solid form. Tar is sometimes used interchangeably with pitch, but generally refers to a more liquid substance derived from coal production, including coal tar, or from plants, as in pine tar. [2]

  5. Tar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar

    Tar is a dark brown or black viscous liquid of hydrocarbons and free carbon, obtained from a wide variety of organic materials through destructive distillation. Tar can be produced from coal, wood, petroleum, or peat. [1] Mineral products resembling tar can be produced from fossil hydrocarbons, such as petroleum.

  6. Asphaltite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphaltite

    Asphaltite (also known as uintahite, asphaltum, gilsonite or oil sands [1]) is a naturally occurring soluble solid hydrocarbon, a form of asphalt [2] (or bitumen) with a relatively high melting temperature. Its large-scale production occurs in the Uintah Basin of Utah and Colorado, United States.

    a tank barge an asphalt barge. Liquid cargo barges are barges that transport petrochemicals, such as styrene, benzene and methanol; liquid fertilizer, including anhydrous ammonia; refined products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel; black oil products, such as asphalt, No. 6 fuel oil and coker fuel; and pressurized products, such as liquefied petroleum gases and butadiene, which ...

  8. Asphaltene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphaltene

    Asphaltenes are molecular substances that are found in crude oil, along with resins, aromatic hydrocarbons, and saturates (i.e. saturated hydrocarbons such as alkanes). [1] [2] The word "asphaltene" was coined by Jean-Baptiste Boussingault in 1837 when he noticed that the distillation residue of some bitumens had asphalt-like properties.

  9. Pitch drop experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment

    "Pitch" is the name for any of a number of highly viscous liquids which appear solid, most commonly bitumen, also known as asphalt. At room temperature, tar pitch flows at a very low rate, taking several years to form a single drop.
