Overview

EN 13398:2017 is a European Standard developed by CEN that defines a precise method for determining the elastic recovery of bitumen and bituminous binders. This standard is particularly designed for modified bitumen, especially those enhanced with thermoplastic elastomers, but also applicable to other bituminous binders exhibiting minimal recovery. The test is performed using a ductilometer at controlled temperatures, typically 25°C or 10°C, but alternative temperatures can be utilized depending on binder characteristics. The method involves stretching a bitumen specimen to evaluate its ability to recover elastically after being deformed.

Key Topics

  • Elastic Recovery Measurement: The standard specifies how to measure the elastic recovery (RE) of molded bitumen specimens stretched to 200 mm elongation in a ductilometer and then cut to monitor recovery after 30 minutes.
  • Test Conditions: Temperature control is critical, with ±0.5°C accuracy in a water bath to maintain the bitumen at the required testing temperature.
  • Specimen Preparation: Preparation of samples follows strict guidelines, including moulding procedures, temperature conditioning, and use of release agents to ensure consistent test conditions.
  • Apparatus Specifications: Details about the mould dimensions, traction device speed control (50 mm/min ±2.5), and temperature-controlled water bath are specified to ensure repeatability.
  • Calculation Method: Elastic recovery is calculated as a percentage of the shortening of half-threads relative to the original elongation, with clear guidance on handling premature breaks.
  • Precision and Repeatability: The standard includes repeatability and reproducibility data based on interlaboratory round-robin tests, confirming the method’s reliability within 4% and 7% tolerances respectively.

Applications

EN 13398:2017 is essential for:

  • Quality Control of Modified Bitumen: Ensures bituminous binders modified for enhanced elasticity meet performance criteria, crucial for road construction and waterproofing materials.
  • Performance Evaluation: Helps assess materials used in flexible pavements where elastic recovery affects durability and crack resistance.
  • Material Development: Facilitates research and development of new modified bitumen formulations by providing a standardized metric for elasticity.
  • Compliance and Certification: Supports manufacturers and testing laboratories in complying with European regulations and ensures consistent characterization across different labs and production batches.

표준 EN 13398:2017은 수정된 비트umen의 탄성 회복성을 측정하는 방법을 규명한 유럽 표준으로, 주로 25도 또는 10도에서 덕틸로미터를 사용하여 수행됩니다. 이 표준은 특히 열가소성 엘라스토머로 수정된 비트uminous 바인더에 적용되지만, 회복이 미미한 다른 비트uminous 바인더에도 적용될 수 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점은 고온에서 비트uminous 바인더의 탄성 회복 특성을 신뢰성 있게 평가할 수 있도록 돕는 데 있습니다. 탄성 회복이란 재료가 외부 힘을 받았을 때 얼마나 원래의 형상으로 돌아오는지를 나타내는 중요한 특성입니다. EN 13398:2017은 비트uminous 바인더의 품질과 성능 평가에서 필수적인 역할을 합니다. 또한, 이 표준은 수정된 비트uminous 바인더의 특성을 이해하고 설계에 반영할 수 있는 기초 데이터를 제공합니다. 이는 비트uminous 소재의 내구성과 안정성을 높이는 데 기여하며, 결과적으로 건설 산업과 도로 포장 기술에 매우 중요한 요소입니다. 그러나 이 표준을 사용할 때 주의해야 할 점은 잠재적인 위험이 존재함을 명시하고 있다는 것입니다. 이 표준은 사용 시 발생할 수 있는 모든 안전 문제를 다루고 있지 않으므로, 사용자에게 적절한 안전 및 건강 관행을 설정하고 적용 가능성을 평가하는 책임이 있습니다. EN 13398:2017은 비트uminous 바인더의 성능 검토에 있어 필수적인 도구임과 동시에 안전 관리에 대한 인식을 요구하는 표준입니다.

The EN 13398:2017 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the determination of elastic recovery in modified bituminous binders, using a ductilometer under specified test conditions, typically at temperatures of 25°C or 10°C. This standard is particularly valuable for professionals in the construction and materials engineering sectors, as it addresses the performance characteristics of bituminous binders, especially those modified with thermoplastic elastomers. One of the standout strengths of this standard is its focused applicability to modified bitumen, which is essential for evaluating how these materials will behave under stress and their recovery capability. This is crucial in scenarios where flexibility and durability are needed, such as in road construction and maintenance. By specifying a method for assessing elastic recovery, EN 13398:2017 aids in ensuring that bituminous materials meet performance requirements and can withstand environmental factors and mechanical stresses. Moreover, the relevance of this standard extends beyond just thermoplastic elastomer-modified binders, as it is also adaptable to other bituminous binders that exhibit limited recovery. This flexibility enhances its usability across different applications and materials, further solidifying its position as a key reference in bitumen technology. However, it is important to acknowledge the standard's warning regarding the involvement of hazardous materials and the necessity for users to implement appropriate safety measures. This aspect underscores the responsibility of practitioners who utilize EN 13398:2017 to be vigilant about their safety protocols and to comply with regulatory guidelines. Overall, the EN 13398:2017 standard is a pivotal resource for testing the elastic recovery of modified bitumen, combining clear methodologies with a focus on relevant performance indicators, making it an essential tool for professionals working with bituminous binders.

Die Norm EN 13398:2017 bietet einen klaren und strukturierten Rahmen zur Bestimmung der elastischen Rückgewinnung von bituminösen Bindemitteln. Mit einem spezifischen Schwerpunkt auf modifizierten bituminösen Bindemitteln, die mit thermoplastischen Elastomeren versehen sind, ist diese europäische Norm besonders relevant für die moderne Asphaltindustrie. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser Norm liegt in ihrer Zugänglichkeit – die Durchführung des Tests erfolgt unter Verwendung eines Duktilemeters, was eine standardisierte und reproduzierbare Methode zur Analyse von bituminösen Bindemitteln darstellt. Die festgelegten Testtemperaturen von typischerweise 25 °C oder 10 °C ermöglichen eine adaptive Anwendung je nach spezifischem Bedarf der Materialien. Des Weiteren ist die Fähigkeit, die elastische Rückgewinnung bei verschiedenen Temperaturen zu testen, ein bedeutendes Merkmal, das die Flexibilität und Anwendbarkeit der Norm unterstreicht. Dies ist besonders wichtig für die Bewertung der Leistungsfähigkeit und Langlebigkeit von bituminösen Bindemitteln in unterschiedlichen Klimazonen und Anwendungen. Die Norm bietet auch einen wichtigen Hinweis auf mögliche Sicherheitsrisiken im Umgang mit gefährlichen Materialien und Geräten, was die Verantwortlichkeit der Nutzer unterstreicht, angemessene Sicherheitspraktiken zu etablieren. Obwohl die Norm nicht alle sicherheitsrelevanten Aspekte abdeckt, genuine es den Anwendern die Verantwortung, grundlegende Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsvorschriften zu befolgen. Insgesamt zeigt die EN 13398:2017 eine hohe Relevanz für die Industrie, indem sie eine fundierte Grundlage für die Beurteilung der elastischen Rückgewinnung von bituminösen Bindemitteln bereitstellt, und ihre Stärke liegt in der Flexibilität und der Anpassungsfähigkeit an verschiedene Materialien und klimatische Bedingungen. Die klare Struktur und methodische Herangehensweise machen sie zu einem wertvollen Instrument im Bereich der bituminösen Bindemittel.

La norme EN 13398:2017, intitulée "Bitumen and bituminous binders - Determination of the elastic recovery of modified bitumen", propose une méthodologie importante pour l'évaluation de la récupération élastique des liants bitumineux. Son champ d'application est particulièrement pertinent pour les liants bitumineux modifiés avec des élastomères thermoplastiques, mais elle s'étend également à d'autres types de liants bitumineux qui ne présentent qu'une faible récupération.
