Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 6: Determination of bulk density of bituminous specimens
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-6 standard focuses on the determination of the bulk density of bituminous specimens. It presents four different procedures that can be used depending on the estimated content and accessibility of voids in the specimen.
The first procedure is the determination of bulk density using the dry method, which is suitable for specimens with a very closed surface. The second procedure is the determination of bulk density using the saturated surface dry (SSD) method, which is suitable for specimens with a closed surface. The third procedure involves determining bulk density using a sealed specimen, which is applicable for specimens with an open or coarse surface. Finally, the fourth procedure involves determining bulk density by dimensions, which is suitable for specimens with a regular surface and specific geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, or cylinders.
The standard also includes Annex A, which provides informative guidance on selecting the appropriate procedure.
