Standard EN SampleMethods of Testing Bitumen and Related Roadmaking Products - Determination of Apparent Viscosity by 'Shell' Sliding Plate Micro-Viscometer
Also Known As:
The AS/NZS 2341.5:1997 (R2013) standard provides a systematic approach for determining the apparent viscosity of bitumens. The standard specifies the use of the 'Shell' sliding plate micro-viscometer to measure the viscosity of bitumens at a predetermined shear strain rate.
The 'Shell' sliding plate micro-viscometer is a device that allows for accurate measurement of viscosity by applying a controlled shear force on the bitumen sample. The method outlined in the standard ensures consistent and reliable results while taking into account the specific conditions set by the 'Shell' viscometer.
Apparent viscosity is an essential property to measure as it indicates the flow characteristics of bitumens used in roadmaking. Understanding the viscosity helps in determining the suitability of the bitumen for various applications, such as pavement construction or asphalt production.
