Tests for Thermal and Weathering Properties of Aggregates - Part 5: Determination of Resistance to Thermal Shock
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1367-5 standard is designed to test the thermal and weathering properties of aggregates. Part 5 specifically focuses on determining the resistance of aggregates to thermal shock. This test is applicable to aggregates used in the production of hot bituminous mixtures.
The standard provides methods for testing the resistance of aggregates to thermal shock through heating and drying. It outlines the reference method to be used for type testing and in case of any disputes that may arise. The reference method should be the preferred choice for type testing and resolving disputes.
However, for other purposes such as factory production control, alternative methods may be used as long as a suitable working relationship with the reference method has been established. This allows flexibility in testing methods while ensuring that the results obtained are consistent and reliable.
