Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 41: Resistance to De-Icing Fluids
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-41 standard is a test method used to assess the resistance of bituminous mixtures to de-icing fluids. De-icing fluids, such as acetate and formate solutions, are commonly used in winter to remove ice and snow from surfaces like airfields and roads. This standard specifically focuses on determining the surface tensile strength of asphalt specimens that have been exposed and submerged in de-icing fluid.
The test is primarily designed for asphalt mixtures used in airfield construction but can also be applied to asphalt used on roads or other paved areas. By subjecting the asphalt to de-icing fluids, the standard provides a means to evaluate the material's ability to withstand the potentially detrimental effects of these substances. The resistance of the bituminous mixture to de-icing fluids is measured through the determination of surface tensile strength, which provides an indication of the material's performance and durability under de-icing conditions.
