Bituminous Mixtures - Test Methods - Part 5: Determination of the Maximum Density
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12697-5 standard is focused on determining the maximum density of bituminous mixtures. It provides three different test methods to achieve this: volumetric, hydrostatic, and mathematical. These methods are applicable to loose bituminous mixtures containing various types of bituminous binders, such as paving grade bitumens or modified binders. The tests can be conducted on both fresh and aged bituminous mixtures.
The standard also gives guidance on selecting the appropriate test procedure, particularly in Annex A. It advises separating samples supplied as compacted material before conducting the tests. This standard is relevant for testing the voidless mass or maximum density of bituminous mixtures used in paving applications, ensuring the quality and performance of these materials.
