Bitumen and Bituminous Binders - Determination of the Tensile Properties of Modified Bitumen by the Force Ductility Method
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13589 standard focuses on determining the tensile properties of modified bitumen using the force ductility method. Specifically, this standard outlines the procedure for assessing the quality of polymer-modified bitumens by measuring the work done during the force ductility test.
The force ductility test is used to determine the extent to which a bituminous binder can be elongated before it breaks. This test helps to evaluate the strength and durability of the modified bitumen.
By following the guidelines outlined in DIN EN 13589, manufacturers and testing laboratories can ensure consistent and accurate determination of the tensile properties of modified bitumen. This standard provides key information and procedures that are essential for maintaining quality control and enabling comparisons between different types of modified bitumens.
