Bitumen and Bituminous Binders - Determination of the Distillation Characteristics of Cut-Back and Fluxed Bituminous Binders Made with Mineral Fluxes
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13358 standard focuses on determining the distillation characteristics of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders that are made with mineral fluxes. The standard provides a method to measure the distillation properties of these binders, which are commonly used in the construction industry for various applications.
The distillation characteristics of bituminous binders are important as they determine the performance and stability of the materials in different environmental conditions. This standard provides guidelines for conducting distillation tests on these binders using specific equipment and procedures. It outlines the necessary steps to ensure accurate measurement and analysis of the distillation characteristics, such as the distillation temperature range and the percentage of distilled material at specific temperature intervals.
Adhering to the DIN EN 13358 standard ensures that the distillation characteristics of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders are determined in a consistent and reliable manner. This allows for better quality control and ensures that these binders meet the required specifications for specific applications, such as road paving or waterproofing.
