Bitumen and Bituminous Binders - Specification Framework for Special Paving Grade Bitumen - Part 1: Hard Paving Grade Bitumens
Also Known As:
This standard, DIN EN 13924-1, specifically focuses on the specification framework for special paving grade bitumen, specifically hard paving grade bitumens. It aims to provide guidelines and requirements for the properties of these bitumens, as well as the corresponding test methods for evaluating their suitability for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields, and other paved areas.
The standard outlines the necessary properties and characteristics that the bitumen needs to meet, ensuring its durability and performance in various climates and traffic conditions. These properties may include penetration, softening point, ductility, viscosity, and elastic recovery, among others. The standard also specifies the test methods to be used for evaluating these properties, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the assessment process.
By providing a comprehensive framework for the specification of hard paving grade bitumens, this standard promotes quality and uniformity in the construction industry. It enables manufacturers, contractors, and end-users to have clear guidelines for selecting bitumens that meet the specific requirements of their projects, ensuring the long-term integrity of the pavement.
