Bitumens for Building and Civil Engineering: Specification for Mixtures of Bitumen with Pitch, Tar and Trinidad Lake Asphalt
Also Known As:
BS 3690-3:1990 is a standard for bitumens used in building and civil engineering, specifically focusing on mixtures of bitumen with pitch, tar, and Trinidad Lake Asphalt. The standard provides a comprehensive classification of these mixtures based on their composition and properties, making them suitable for a range of applications in road construction and industrial use within the UK climate and conditions.
The standard defines various grades within each mixture classification, specifying the appropriate designation and properties for each grade. This allows users to select the most suitable mixture for their specific needs and ensures consistent performance and quality.
Additionally, the standard includes appendices that offer guidance on handling, packaging, sampling, and testing of the bitumen mixtures. This information is valuable for ensuring proper handling and quality control during the production and application of these mixtures.
