Overview
EN 13880-1:2003 is a European Standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies the test method for determining the density of hot applied joint sealants at 25 °C. This standard is an essential reference for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality control professionals involved in road construction and sealing materials. The density measurement is crucial for assessing the quality and consistency of hot applied sealants used in joint sealing to ensure optimal performance and durability.
Key Topics
- Scope: The standard outlines the procedure to measure the density of hot applied joint sealants at a controlled temperature of 25 °C.
- Test Principle: Uses a crucible weighed in air and water before and after filling with molten sealant. The density is calculated based on these weight differences and the known density of water.
- Apparatus Required:
- Tinfoil or aluminum crucible with a wire handle.
- Precision laboratory balance (accuracy of 0.001 g).
- Thermometer for accurate temperature measurements (±0.2 °C).
- Water bath capable of maintaining a temperature of 25 °C.
- Distilled or demineralized water, deaerated before testing.
- Specimen Preparation: Samples are prepared and conditioned according to EN 13880-6 for consistency.
- Calculation Method: The density is computed using a formula involving masses measured in air and water, referencing water’s density at 25 °C.
- Precision and Repeatability:
- Repeatability limit: results differ by no more than 0.003 g/cm³ under the same operator conditions.
- Reproducibility limit: results differ by no more than 0.005 g/cm³ between different laboratories.
- Reporting: Test reports must include product details, batch number, test dates, results, analyst and lab information, and confirmation of compliance with EN 13880-1.
Applications
- Quality Control for Road Construction Materials: Ensures joint sealants meet defined physical properties for effective sealing.
- Material Certification: Verifies batch consistency in manufacturing processes.
- Research and Development: Facilitates material comparison and formulation improvements by accurately assessing sealant density.
- Contractor and Supplier Compliance: Helps contractors confirm suppliers' products conform to specified European standards.
- Durability Assessment: Density is a key parameter influencing sealant performance under environmental stress and thermal conditions.
