AS/NZS 2341.27:2008, with the title "Methods of Testing Bitumen and Related Roadmaking Products - Determination of Sedimentation," describes a standardized method for measuring the sedimentation of a bituminous emulsion. The purpose of this standard is to evaluate the potential separation of the two phases of an emulsion over time.

The method outlined in the standard involves allowing the emulsion to stand undisturbed and then measuring the degree of sedimentation that occurs. This measurement provides valuable information about the stability and quality of the emulsion.

By determining the sedimentation rate, road making product manufacturers can assess the long-term effectiveness and performance of bituminous emulsions. This standard helps ensure that the emulsions used in road construction meet suitable criteria for stability, which is essential for safe and long-lasting road surfaces.
