Overview
SIST EN 13880-2:2004 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies a test method for determining the cone penetration of hot applied joint sealants at 25°C. This standard is a critical part of the EN 13880 series, which addresses the testing and quality requirements for hot applied joint sealants used primarily in road construction and other infrastructure applications. The method involves a standardized penetrometer with a penetration cone to assess the sealant’s hardness or softness by measuring the depth of penetration under controlled conditions.
The test captures both initial penetration and penetration after exposure to fuel immersion, supporting the evaluation of sealants’ durability and resistance to typical service conditions. Adherence to this standard ensures reliable, comparable, and reproducible results for manufacturers, engineers, and quality control laboratories.
Key Topics
- Test Principle: A sample of hot applied joint sealant is poured into containers, cooled, conditioned in a water bath at 25°C, and tested with a penetrometer equipped with a specified penetration cone. Penetration depth after a defined time and load is measured.
- Apparatus:
- Standard penetrometer conforming to EN 1426
- Brass penetration cone with smooth polish and precise mass (150 g)
- Water bath maintaining 25 ± 0.3 °C
- Transfer dish for specimen handling
- Metal containers for preparing test samples
- Preparation: Specimens are prepared according to specified procedures (ref. prEN 13880-6), poured carefully to avoid contamination, and conditioned by air cooling and water immersion for set durations.
- Test Conditions: Constant temperature (25°C), applied load (150 g), and penetration duration (5 seconds) must be strictly maintained for accuracy.
- Procedure: Penetration tested within one minute after removal from water bath, with three measurements per specimen taken at defined spacing to ensure representative values.
- Fuel Immersion Test: An additional informative procedure exposes the sealant specimen to a standard fuel mixture (70% iso-octane, 30% toluene) for 24 hours to assess changes in penetration due to fuel contact. This simulates service environments involving fuel spillage.
- Reporting: Results are reported as the average penetration depth, rounded to the nearest 0.1 mm, along with sample and testing details for quality documentation.
Applications
SIST EN 13880-2:2004 is widely applied in industries involved with:
- Road Construction: Ensuring joint sealants used in pavement and joints meet performance standards for penetration and durability under temperature and fuel exposure.
- Infrastructure Maintenance: Assessing sealant condition and suitability for repairs where fuel resistance and flexible yet resilient joints are required.
- Quality Control: Used by manufacturers to verify product consistency and specification compliance before releasing hot applied joint sealants to the market.
- Material Research and Development: Supporting formulation improvements by quantifying material hardness and fuel resistance through standardized testing.
This standard provides a key technical benchmark to measure sealant properties that affect performance, longevity, and compatibility with other construction materials.
