This document describes a test to determine the bitumen content of a sample. The test involves weighing the sample, filter, and bowl both before and after extracting the bitumen using a bitumen extractor apparatus. The bitumen content is then calculated as a percentage by finding the difference in weights and dividing by the original sample weight. The test found the sample contained 4.50% bitumen.
