Jet Blast Erosion

Jet blast erosion causes darkened areas on the pavement surface when bituminous binder has been burned or carbonized; localized burned areas may vary in depth up to approximately 1/2 inch (13 millimeters).

How to Measure

Jet blast erosion is measured in square feet (square meters) of surface area.
