Disclosed is a method, device, and system for testing the static contact angle of reagent asphalt, the method includes the following steps: acquiring a side image of a stable droplet formed by a test reagent on asphalt surface, and determining the position of a baseline in the side image; cropping the side image to obtain a droplet image, and extracting droplet contour points in the droplet image; screening out effective contour points corresponding to contours of the two sides of the droplet from the droplet contour points; performing cubic polynomial fitting on the effective contour points to obtain curve function of contour curves on both sides; calculating contact angle value from the curve function and the position of the baseline. The beneficial effects of this disclosure are: this disclosure reduces the difficulty of fitting of the droplet contour and thus improves the calculation precision of the contact angle.

Disclosed is a method for measuring surface energy of aggregates based on static drop method, comprising (1) aggregates grinding and pretreatment; (2) obtaining the surface texture index; (3) calculating the surface energy based on static drop method experiment; (4) fitting to obtain a functional relationship between the surface texture index and surface energy; (5) calculating the surface energy of the original aggregate. The method considers the influence of the grinding process on the surface texture of the aggregates when measuring the surface energy of the aggregates, which significantly improves the accuracy of the static drop method test. The static drop method can be used to replace the vapor adsorption method to test the surface energy of aggregate, and the low-cost optical contact angle instrument can replace the expensive magnetic suspension weight balance system to test the surface energy of aggregate, which greatly reduces the test cost.
