Abstract Simple and practical test frameworks for field measurements of Emulsion Application Rates (EARs) in chip seal and tack coat applications are identified. The methods identified allow for local in situ measurements of the EAR that can be obtained during construction. For both tack coats and chip seals, the test methods identified allow for determining the EAR from residual binder application rate measurements combined with the emulsion water content. Implementation of the test frameworks established in this study could be used as part of a quality assurance/quality control program.
