Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 2: Determination of Particle Size Distribution
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-2 standard is a test method that focuses on determining the particle size distribution of the aggregates used in bituminous mixtures. This standard provides a procedure for conducting the test using sieving. It is important to note that the test is applicable to aggregates that have been extracted from the binder, as specified in EN 12697-1 or EN 12697-39.
This standard is particularly relevant in the context of bituminous mixtures, as it helps determine the range of sizes present in the aggregates. It allows for the evaluation of the quality and gradation of the aggregates, which are essential factors in ensuring the performance and durability of bituminous mixtures. It should be noted that certain factors such as fibers, solid additives, and binder modifiers can influence the results of the test.
