This document provides a hyperlinked list of the Austroads Test Methods and Specifications.
Abrasion Resistance of Seamless Knitted Tubular Filter Fabric
This test method sets out the procedure to evaluate the abrasion resistance of seamless tubular filter fabric which has been pre-treated in ultraviolet light. This test method can also be downloaded as a 
Weave Stability of Seamless Knitted Tubular Filter Fabric
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the weave stability of seamless tubular filter fabric which has been pre-treated in ultraviolet light and a solution of calcium hydroxide. This test method can also be downloaded as a 
Determination of Opening Size of Seamless Knitted Tubular Filter Fabric
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the range of dimensions of openings in sample areas of seamless knitted tubular filter fabric for use over corrugated plastic subsoil pipe. This test method can also be downloaded as a 
Laddering, Unravelling or Deweaving of a Seamless Knitted Tubular Filter Fabric from a Cut End
This test method sets out the procedure for determining the likelihood of a seamless tubular filter fabric, which has been pretreated in ultraviolet light, to ladder, unravel or deweave when placed over a mandrel. This test method can also be…
Extractions of Bituminous Binder from Asphalt
This method has been developed for extracting bituminous binders from bituminous mixtures i.e. asphalt field samples, loose plant mix or reclaimed asphalt pavement.
Aggregate Shape by the Ratio of Greatest to Least Dimension
This method sets out the procedure for assessing aggregate shape as a ratio of Average Greatest Dimension to Average Least Dimension. This test method can also be downloaded as a 
Modified Surface Texture Depth (Pestle Method)
This method describes the procedure for the determination of the surface texture depth of road surfaces, by the sand patch technique. This method is only applicable to surface texture depths greater than 0.3 mm. This method was developed from BS…
Characterisation of the Viscosity of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Binder Using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
The test method sets out the procedure for the determination of viscosity of binders recovered from RAP source materials, as well as of virgin binders and rejuvenators.
Random Selection of Sampling or Test Locations
This test method describes the procedure for establishing sampling locations, sampling intervals or test locations within a lot, which has been defined in terms of mass, volume, perimeter or batches. The method contains procedures which allow…
