AS 2341.11:1994 PDF Download

The AS 2341.11:1994 standard provides guidelines for evaluating the ductility of bitumen. Ductility refers to the ability of bitumen to stretch without breaking, which is an essential property for road-making materials.

The standard outlines a specific procedure for conducting the ductility test, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the results. This procedure involves cutting a briquette-shaped sample of bitumen and subjecting it to a controlled level of deformation under specified conditions.

The standard specifies the equipment, apparatus, and testing conditions required for conducting the test. Additionally, it provides instructions on the processing and preparation of the bitumen sample before testing. The standard also includes detailed calculations for determining the ductility of the bitumen based on the test results.
