General Information

Overview
EN 13880-3:2024 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies a test method for hot applied joint sealants, focusing on the determination of penetration resistance (hardness) and elastic recovery (resilience). This standard applies to hot applied joint sealants in accordance with EN 14188-1 and defines procedures conducted at 25 °C using a standard penetrometer fitted with a ball penetration tool. The method effectively evaluates both the penetration and recovery characteristics of sealing materials, which are critical for assessing performance in road construction and infrastructure applications.
This updated edition supersedes EN 13880-3:2003 and introduces clarifications to improve test performance and reproducibility, ensuring more reliable and consistent assessment of sealant materials.
Key Topics
Penetration Resistance: Measures the hardness of the sealant by recording the depth of ball penetration under a specified load and time. The parameter indicates the material’s ability to resist deformation.
Elastic Recovery (Resilience): Evaluates the sealant’s ability to recover its shape after deformation under load. Recovery is expressed as a percentage, showing the elastomeric properties important for joint durability.
Test Apparatus and Conditions:
- Standard penetrometer conforming to EN 1426
- Steel ball penetration tool with defined weight and dimensions
- Water bath maintaining 25.0 ± 0.3 °C for specimen conditioning
- Sample tins for consistent test specimen preparation
- Accurate time recording equipment for controlled loading and unloading regimes
Specimen Preparation and Conditioning:
- Sealant poured into metal containers and cooled
- Immersion in temperature-controlled water bath to simulate service conditions
- Surface treatment with talcum powder before testing to ensure accurate penetration readings
Test Procedure:
- Initial penetration measured by releasing the ball for 5 seconds
- Additional controlled penetration of 10 mm applied before relaxation
- Elastic recovery recorded after releasing the load and allowing 20 seconds for the specimen to rebound
- Multiple measurements taken across specimens to ensure reproducibility
- Recovery calculated using the formula:
R (%) = [(P + 10 - F) / (P + 10)] × 100
where P = initial penetration, F = final penetration after recovery
Reporting Requirements:
- Complete documentation of all penetration values and recovery results
- Details on product, batch, conditioning time, and test date
- Time-deformation curves and individual measurement data to support quality control
Applications
EN 13880-3:2024 is highly relevant to industries and professionals involved in:
Road Construction and Maintenance: Ensuring the durability and flexibility of hot applied joint sealants used in expansion joints, cracks, and seams in asphalt and concrete pavements.
Infrastructure Engineering: Selecting sealant materials with optimal hardness and resilience to accommodate structural movements and temperature variations.
Quality Control Laboratories: Implementing standardized test methods for material certification, batch verification, and performance benchmarking of sealants.
Manufacturers and Suppliers: Improving product formulations for enhanced penetration resistance and elastic recovery, critical attributes for longevity and functionality.
By adhering to this standard, stakeholders can confidently evaluate sealants' mechanical properties, optimizing material selection and ensuring compliance with regulatory and project requirements.
