BS EN 12697-5:2018 PDF Download

BS EN 12697-5:2018 is a standard that focuses on determining the maximum density of bituminous mixtures. The standard provides test methods for measuring the voidless mass of these mixtures. It offers three different procedures for conducting the tests - volumetric, hydrostatic, and mathematical procedures. These methods are applicable to loose bituminous mixtures that contain paving grade bitumens, modified binders, or other bituminous binders commonly used in bituminous mixtures. The standard is designed to work with both fresh and aged bituminous mixtures. Samples for testing can be in the form of loose material or compacted material, with the recommendation to separate the latter before proceeding with the tests.
