Loss on Heating Test for Bitumen
When the bitumen is heated it loses the volatility and gets hardened. About 50gm of the sample is weighed and heated to a temperature of 163 °C for 5hours in
Flash and Fire Point Test
At high temperatures depending upon the grades of bitumen, materials leave out volatiles These volatiles catch fire which is very hazardous and therefore it is essential to qualify this temperature
Viscosity Test of Bitumen
Viscosity denotes the fluid property of bituminous material and it is a measure of resistance to flow At the application temperature, this characteristic greatly influences the strength of resulting paving
Softening Point Test of Bitumen
Softening point denotes the temperature at which the bitumen attains a particular degree of softening under the specifications of test. The test is conducted by using Ring and Ball apparatus.
