Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 18: Binder drainage

This draft European Standard describes two test methods:
-   basket method (see Clause 4),
-   beaker method (see Clause 5).
The basket method describes a method for determining binder drainage of bituminous mixtures. This method directly measures binder drainage, but when carried out on bituminous mixtures with fibres or mixtures whose mortar content is higher than in porous asphalt some clogging of the holes in the drainage baskets can occur, limiting the drainage of the binder. The basket method can be used either for determining the binder drainage for different binder content, or with a single binder content, eliminating the successive repetitions. It also enables the effects of varying fine aggregate types or including any anti-draining additive to be quantified.
The beaker method describes a method for determining binder drainage of bituminous mixtures. It is applicable to asphalt materials that are not porous asphalt or for porous asphalt incorporating fibres. It can be used either for determining the binder drainage for different binder content, or with a single binder content, eliminating the successive repetitions. It also enables the effects of varying fine aggregate types or including any anti-draining additive to be quantified.

Asphalt - Prüfverfahren - Teil 18: Bestimmung des Ablaufens

Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt zwei Prüfverfahren:
-   das Korbverfahren (siehe Abschnitt 4);
-   das Becherglasverfahren (siehe Abschnitt 5).
Das Korbverfahren beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Bindemittelablaufens von Asphalt. Bei diesem Verfahren wird das Bindemittelablaufen direkt gemessen, allerdings können bei der Durchführung an faserhaltigen Asphalten oder Asphalten, deren Mörtelgehalt höher als der von offenporigem Asphalt ist, die Löcher der Ablaufkörbe bis zu einem gewissen Grad verstopft werden, wodurch das Bindemittelablaufen begrenzt wird. Das Korbverfahren kann entweder für die Bestimmung des Bindemittelablaufens bei unter¬schiedlichen Bindemittelgehalten angewendet werden oder, bei nur einem Bindemittelgehalt, unter Auslassung der nachfolgenden Wiederholungen. Es ermöglicht auch die Quantifizierung der Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Feinkornanteile oder der Zugabe von stabilisierenden Zusätzen.
Das Becherglasverfahren beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Bindemittelablaufens von Asphalt. Es ist auf Asphalt Baustoffe, die keinen offenporigen Asphalt enthalten, und auf faserhaltige offenporige Asphalte enthalten, anwendbar. Es kann entweder für die Bestimmung des Bindemittelablaufens bei unter¬schiedlichen Bindemittelgehalten angewendet werden oder, bei nur einem Bindemittelgehalt, unter Aus¬lassung der folgenden Wiederholungen. Es ermöglicht auch die Quantifizierung der Auswirkungen unter¬schiedlicher Feinkornanteile oder der Zugabe von stabilisierenden Zusätzen.

Bitumenske zmesi - Preskusne metode - 18. del: Odtekanje veziva

Ta osnutek evropskega standarda opisuje dve preskusni metodi:
– metoda s košaro (glej točko 4),
– metoda s čašo (glej točko 5).
Metoda s košaro opisuje metodo za ugotavljanje odtekanja veziva v bitumenskih zmeseh. S to metodo se neposredno meri odtekanje veziva, vendar ko se izvaja za bitumenske zmesi z vlakni ali zmesi, pri katerih je vsebnost malte višja kot pri poroznih asfaltnih mešanicah, lahko pride do zamašitve lukenj odtočnih košar, kar omejuje odtekanje veziva. Metoda s košaro se lahko uporablja za ugotavljanje odtekanja veziva pri vsebnosti različnih veziv ali vsebnosti enega veziva, kar zmanjšuje zaporedne ponovitve. Omogoča tudi učinke različnih vrst drobnih agregatov ali vključuje kvantifikacijo katerega koli aditiva proti odtekanju.
Metoda s čašo opisuje metodo za ugotavljanje odtekanja veziva v bitumenskih zmeseh. Uporablja se za asfaltne materiale, ki niso porozne asfaltne mešanice, ali za porozne asfaltne mešanice z vlakni. Uporablja se lahko za ugotavljanje odtekanja veziva pri vsebnosti različnih veziv ali vsebnosti enega veziva, kar zmanjšuje zaporedne ponovitve. Omogoča tudi učinke različnih vrst drobnih agregatov ali vključuje kvantifikacijo katerega koli aditiva proti odtekanju.

Overview

EN 12697-18:2017 - Bituminous mixtures: Test methods - Part 18: Binder drainage (CEN) defines two laboratory test methods for measuring binder drainage from asphalt mixtures: the basket method and the beaker method. Both methods quantify binder, fine particles and additives that separate from a mixture during mixing or transport, enabling evaluation of drainability for mix design, production control and specification of porous and non-porous asphalt mixtures.

Key Topics

  • Test methods
    • Basket method: Direct measurement using perforated metal baskets (100 ± 2 mm cubes) made from 3.15 mm perforated plate (ISO 3310-2). Intended primarily for porous asphalt; can measure binder drainage for varying binder contents or single-content tests. Note: mixtures with fibres or high mortar content may clog basket perforations, limiting drainage.
    • Beaker method: Applicable to non-porous asphalt or porous asphalt incorporating fibres. Also used for single or multiple binder-content assessments.
  • Temperature control
    • For paving-grade bitumen: test at reference compaction temperature (EN 12697-35) + 25 °C.
    • For modified bitumen (EN 14023) or other additives: use supplier’s installation temperature + 15 °C.
  • Materials and apparatus
    • Specified aggregate batches, balances to 0.1 g, thermostatic oven (80–200 °C range), trays, boxes and aluminium foil.
  • Purpose and outputs
    • Measures drained material (BD) after a defined period (e.g., 3 h at test temperature) and permits assessment of anti-drain additives and effects of fine aggregate type.
  • Reporting and precision
    • Test report and precision requirements are specified (see Clauses 4.6–4.7 and 5.6–5.7).

Applications

  • Quality control (QC) and factory production control for asphalt producers and contractors.
  • Porous asphalt mix design, to prevent binder loss during transport/laying.
  • Evaluation of anti-draining additives, fibres and fine aggregate choices to reduce binder separation.
  • Specification development for highways, pavements and surface courses where drainability affects performance.
  • Used by materials laboratories, pavement engineers, road authorities and consultants for verifying compliance and optimizing mix composition.

Who should use this standard

  • Road material testing laboratories
  • Asphalt mix designers and quality managers
  • Highway agencies and pavement specifiers
  • Additive and binder manufacturers seeking standardized drainability data
