Overview
FprEN 13880-11 (CEN draft prEN 13880-11:2024) defines a standardised test method for preparing asphalt test blocks used when evaluating hot applied joint sealants. The method supports the function test (prEN 13880-7) and the compatibility test with asphalt pavements (EN 13880-9). It specifies the asphalt mix recipe, heating and conditioning, molding and compaction, specimen sizes, storage, and reporting requirements to ensure repeatable, comparable test results across laboratories and manufacturers.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Preparation of asphalt blocks intended for function testing of joint sealants and compatibility assessment with asphalt pavements.
- Asphalt mix recipe: Bitumen content 6.4% by mass (penetration grade 70/100, EN 12591) with aggregate composition:
- Chippings 2/16 mm: 52% by mass
- Sand 0.063–2 mm: 39% by mass
- Filler 0–0.063 mm: 9% by mass
- Aggregates to comply with EN 13043
- Heating and conditioning: Heat hot mix asphalt (lab-mixed per EN 12697-35 or plant mix) in sealed boxes to 180 °C in a heating chamber, following ISO 188 guidance for heat handling.
- Molding and compaction: Transfer heated asphalt to a moulding box (depth 100 mm), leave approximately 10 mm excess, compact using a vibratory compactor in accordance with EN 12697-32 to achieve 2–4% air voids.
- Specimen sizes (water‑cooled sawing):
- For prEN 13880-7: (75 ± 1) mm × (25.0 ± 0.5) mm × (12.0 ± 0.5) mm
- For EN 13880-9: (100 ± 1) mm × (100 ± 1) mm × (100 ± 1) mm
- Storage: Store specimens at –2 °C to –4 °C to prevent sticking until testing.
- Reporting: Document mix composition, production date/time, aggregate origin and grading, preparation and storage dates/times, and preparator/laboratory name.
Applications and users
This standard is practical for:
- Sealant manufacturers performing internal R&D and quality control for hot-applied joint sealants.
- Materials and pavement testing laboratories preparing standardised asphalt blocks for function and compatibility testing.
- Highway authorities and contractors specifying or verifying sealant performance on asphalt pavements.
- Product certification bodies seeking reproducible test specimens for compliance verification.
Using FprEN 13880-11 helps ensure consistent specimen preparation, enabling reliable comparison of sealant adhesion, compatibility, and functional behaviour on asphalt substrates.
