Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15643 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 195, Building construction machinery and equipment.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15643:2002(E)

Road construction and maintenance equipment — Bituminous
binder spreaders/sprayers — Terminology and commercial
specifications
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes the terminology for soil stabilizers used in road construction and pavement
works. It provides the terminology for the machine and its components, also the definitions of operation principles
and parameters.
This International Standard also establishes the parameters required for the technical characteristics of the whole
machine and its components, such as the transport vehicle and mixing device, for commercial specifications.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
bituminous binder spreader
machine used to apply a film of binder on a pavement at a predetermined application rate
NOTE The particular spreader types may be defined by associating the operating principle, the shape of the components,
the type of binder, and by specifying the spreading performances.
2.2
displacement pump spreader
machine in which binder transfer from the storage tank to the spray bar is provided by a pump
NOTE The pump's output is proportional to its rotating speed which may be controlled by the vehicle movement speed.
2.3
constant pressure spreader
machine in which binder transfer from the storage tank to the spray bar is provided by pressurizing the binder
NOTE The binder may be pressurized directly by compressed air above the binder, or by a pump and regulating valve
maintaining a constant binder pressure in the spray bar feeder circuit.
2.4
fixed assembly spreader
machine in which the tank and its attachments are fixed to the transport vehicle
2.5
removable assembly spreader
machine in which the tank and its attachments are fixed to a removable chassis
2.6
heat-insulated spreader
machine in which the tank is equipped with thermal insulation to avoid heat loss

2.7
directly heated spreader
machine with heating provided by circulation of hot gases in a tube or by an electrical resistor in contact with the
binder
2.8
indirectly heated spreader
machine with heating provided by circulation of a hot liquid supplied by a generator outside or inside the spreader
2.9
hot binder spreader
machine which enables application of binder at a temperature greater than 80 °C
2.10
cold binder spreader
machine which spreads binders at a temperature lower than 80 °C
2.11
high-viscosity-binder spreader
machine which enables application of a binder with a viscosity greater than 300 cSt at the application temperature
2.12
high-binder-pressure spreader
machine in which the binder pressure in the spray bar during spreading is greater than 0,2 MPa
2.13
medium-binder-pressure spreader
machine in which the binder pressure in the spray bar during spreading is between 0,02 MPa and 0,2 MPa
2.14
low-binder-pressure spreader
machine in which the binder pressure in the spray bar during spreading is less than 0,02 MPa
2.15
tank volume
internal volume of the tank
NOTE It is expressed in cubic metres.
2.16
rated capacity
volume of binder which can be carried
NOTE It is expressed in cubic metres.
2.17
nominal loading of tank
loading using the available capacity of the binder with the highest density
NOTE It is expressed in kilograms.
2.18
spray bar width
distance between end flow points
NOTE It is expressed in metres.
