Ta osnutek evropskega standarda določa preskusne metode za ugotavljanje največje gostote bitumenske zmesi (masa brez votlin). Določa volumetrični postopek, hidrostatični postopek in matematični postopek.
Opisane preskusne metode so namenjene za uporabo z razsutimi bitumenskimi materiali, ki vsebujejo cestogradbene bitumne, modificirana veziva ali druga bitumenska veziva, ki se uporabljajo za vroče asfaltne zmesi. Preskusi so primerni za sveže in starane bitumenske materiale.
Vzorci se lahko dobavljajo kot razsut ali stisnjen material, pri čemer je treba stisnjenega najprej ločiti.

Overview
EN 12697-5:2018 (CEN) specifies test methods for determining the maximum density (voidless mass) of bituminous mixtures used in road construction. The standard describes three accepted procedures - volumetric, hydrostatic and mathematical - to determine maximum density for loose or compacted samples containing paving-grade bitumens, modified binders or other bituminous binders. Tests are suitable for both fresh and aged materials. Annex A gives guidance on selecting the appropriate procedure.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test procedures
- Volumetric procedure (pyknometer): measures sample volume by displacement of water or suitable solvent; requires a pyknometer calibrated per Annex C and a vacuum system to evacuate air (residual pressure ≤ 4 kPa).
- Hydrostatic procedure: determines volume from dry mass and mass in water; uses a container suspended in a temperature-controlled water bath.
- Mathematical procedure: calculates maximum density from component proportions (binder content, aggregates, additives) and constituent densities.
- Sampling and sample preparation
- Sampling per EN 12697-27; bulk sample splitting using EN 12697-28 methods.
- Dry samples to constant mass in a ventilated oven at (110 ± 5) °C; constant mass defined by <0.1% change between two determinations at least 30 min apart.
- Minimum sample sizes and core thickness requirements are specified.
- Apparatus and accuracy
- Balance accuracy: at least 0.1 g for masses up to 5 kg, 1 g for larger masses.
- Water-bath temperature control within ±0.2 °C and circulation requirements.
- Pyknometer volume such that sample occupies up to 2/3 of its capacity; plastic recommended for operator safety.
- Safety and limitations
- Use of solvents (e.g., dichloromethane) may be required - hazardous and subject to occupational limits. Solvents are not suitable for mixtures with water‑absorbing additives (e.g., zeolites) or additives soluble in the solvent.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Quality control laboratories performing volumetric analysis of asphalt and bituminous mixes.
- Road authorities and pavement engineers calculating air voids, compaction levels and volumetric properties for acceptance testing and design verification.
- Contractors and material suppliers validating mix designs and verifying binder content/density relationships.
- Research institutions studying binder–aggregate interactions, binder absorption (see Annex B) and aging effects.
