CSN EN 12697-37 This document describes a hot sand test method for determining the condition of the binder on coated chippings for use with hot rolled asphalt (HRA) surface course. This test is used to ensure that coated chippings to be applied to the surface of surface course rolled asphalt have not been overheated to such an extent that their adhesion to the asphalt will be prevented. The dried coated chippings are immersed in hot sand under specified conditions and the degree of coating by the sand assessed both by weighing and by visual inspection. The test should be carried out sufficiently in advance of constructing the asphalt surface course to enable fresh supplies of chippings to be obtained if necessary.
