BS EN 13302:2018 - TC

This standard BS EN 13302:2018 - TC Tracked Changes. Bitumen and bituminous binders. Determination of dynamic viscosity of bituminous binder using a rotating spindle apparatus is classified in these ICS categories:

• 75.140 Waxes, bituminous materials and other petroleum products
• 91.100.50 Binders. Sealing materials

This document specifies a method for the determination of the dynamic viscosity of a variety of bituminous binders: modified and unmodified bituminous binders, bituminous emulsions, cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders, by means of a rotating spindle apparatus (a coaxial viscometer). Standard application temperatures are quoted, although the dynamic viscosity can be measured at other temperatures if required. Similarly, measurements at standard values of shear rate can be replaced or complemented by measurements at additional shear rates if required.
