Standard EN Sample
Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Specimen Preparation by Impact Compactor
Also Known As:
The standard BS EN 12697-30:2018 describes methods for preparing specimens from bituminous mixtures using an impact compactor. These specimens are primarily used to determine bulk density and other technological characteristics such as Marshall stability and flow according to EN 12697-34.
The scope of this standard includes bituminous mixtures that are prepared in a laboratory or obtained from a worksite sampling. The maximum allowable particle size in these mixtures is not more than 15% by mass retained on the 22.4 mm sieve, with no particles retained on the 31.5 mm sieve.
It provides guidelines for proper specimen preparation using the impact compactor method, which ensures the accuracy and reliability of subsequent tests conducted on the specimens. These tests are crucial for assessing various properties and performance characteristics of bituminous mixtures used in road construction and maintenance.
