Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 43: Resistance to Fuel
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-43 standard outlines a method for evaluating the resistance of bituminous mixtures or pavements to fuels. The purpose of this test is to determine the material loss of a test specimen when subjected to soaking in fuel and brushing with a brush test device.
The test procedure involves immersing a laboratory-made test specimen or a sample taken from a pavement into a fuel. The specimen is then subjected to brushing using a brush test device. The material loss that occurs during this process serves as an indicator of the resistance of the bituminous mixture to the specific fuel used in the test.
This standard provides a quantitative measurement of the resistance of bituminous mixtures to fuels, which is valuable for assessing the performance and durability of such mixtures in real-world conditions. The results obtained from this test method can assist in the selection of appropriate bituminous mixtures and pavement designs for applications that involve exposure to fuels.
