Overview

EN 13358:2019 (CEN) specifies a laboratory method to determine the distillation characteristics of cut‑back and fluxed bituminous binders made with mineral fluxes. The standard describes how to distil petroleum‑fluidified bitumen at a controlled rate up to 360 °C and how to measure the volumes of distillate and residue across defined temperature ranges. It replaces EN 13358:2010 and was approved by CEN in May 2019.

Safety note: the procedure can involve hazardous materials and operations. Users must establish appropriate safety and health practices and verify regulatory limits before use.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & principle
    • Distillation of cut‑back and fluxed bituminous binders until liquid reaches 360 °C; measurement of distillate fractions and residue.
  • Sample preparation
    • Sampling per EN 58 and preparation per EN 12594; typical test portion is mass equivalent to 200 ml.
  • Apparatus essentials
    • 500 ml distillation flask with side‑arm, glass condenser (200–300 mm jacket), adapter (≈105° angle) and graduated receivers (25/50/100 ml).
    • Heating options: adjustable gas burner (Tirrill or equivalent), electric heating plate or electric heating mantle (0–750 W control).
    • Shield, insulation, and height‑adjustable support to control heat and prevent drafts.
    • Temperature measuring device (sensor + readout) with range to at least 400 °C, readability to 1 °C and accuracy ±1 °C (platinum resistance RTDs recommended; mercury stem thermometers allowed only if permitted nationally).
    • Balance with 0.1 g readability; residue container (~250 ml).
  • Procedure specifics
    • Thermometer/probe insertion depth and apparatus alignment; condenser coolant flow (reverse flow recommended).
    • Barometric/altitude corrections for temperature readings (tables provided).
    • Record volumes of distillate at corrected reference temperatures (see EN 15322).
  • Results & quality
    • Calculations for bituminous residue, total distillate and distillate fractions, with stated repeatability and reproducibility criteria.
    • Test report requirements detailed in the standard.

Applications and users

  • Quality control and specification testing for:
    • Bitumen manufacturers and suppliers producing cut‑back and fluxed binders with mineral fluxes.
    • Construction and asphalt laboratories assessing binder volatility and residue properties.
    • Research laboratories evaluating formulation changes, binder performance, and regulatory compliance.
  • Practical uses include evaluating evaporative loss, classifying light‑fraction removal, and producing residues for further physical testing.

European foreword
This document (EN 13358:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 336 “Bitumen and
bituminous binders”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2020, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13358:2010.
The main technical changes in comparison to the previous edition are:
— Clause 5: an electric heating plate or heating mantle may be used as alternatives to the gas burner;
— Clause 5: mercury stem thermometers are replaced by temperature measuring devices allowing
similar temperature determinations to be made. Annex A (characteristics of mercury stem
thermometer) becomes informative;
— Subclause 6.4.2: requirements on distillation rate (drops per minute) may be replaced by a minimum
rate of temperature increase in cases where the distillation process has a very low yield;
— Subclause 6.4.3: volumes of distillate are to be recorded at least at the reference corrected
temperatures mentioned in EN 15322;
— Clauses 6.4.3 and 10: the possibility to record volumes of distillate to a precision of 0,1 ml is
abandoned.
This document is based on ASTM D 402-97.
