This European Standard specifies a method for measuring the cohesion of bituminous binders at temperatures in the range of (- 10 °C) to (+ 80 °C) and for expressing the relationship between cohesion and temperature. In the case of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders and for bituminous emulsions, the tested binder may be the result of a specific distillation, recovery and/or stabilization procedure. The method may also be applied to binders which have undergone a specific ageing procedure. WARNING The use of this European Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
