Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 17: Particle loss of porous asphalt specimens
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-17 standard outlines a test method for assessing the particle loss of porous asphalt mixtures. This standard serves as a guideline for determining the abrasion resistance of porous asphalt through the evaluation of mass loss after subjecting specimens to the Los Angeles machine.
The standard specifies that the test is applicable to cylindrical samples of laboratory compacted porous asphalt mixtures with an upper sieve size not exceeding 22.4 mm. It is important to note that the outcomes of this test may not accurately reflect the abrasive effect caused by studded tires.
By providing a set of standardized procedures for assessing particle loss in porous asphalt, this standard enables the comparison of different asphalt mixtures for their durability and resistance to abrasion. This information is valuable in the development and quality control of porous asphalt used in various road construction applications.
