scope:
Specifies a method for measuring the combined effects of heat and air on a moving thin film of bituminous binder. The test is indicated as RTFOT i.e. Rolling Thin Film Oven Test. It stimulates the hardening which a bituminous binder undergoes during mixing in an asphalt mixing plant. The RTFOT is not applicable to some modified binders or those whose viscosity is too high for a moving film.
