Various Lab Test On Bitumen

Posted in Material Testing | Email This Post Email This Post

Bitumen is a mixture of organic liquids that is black, highly viscous, sticky product used for paving roads, waterproofing products (used in sealing roofs). There are many tests which are conducted to check the quality of bitumen. Bitumen is very important component of many construction sites like roads, highways. Many tests are done to ensure the quality of bitumen. Some of these are given below :-

1. Bitumen Content
2. Ductility Of Bitumen
3. Penetration of Bitumen
4. Specific Gravity of Bitumen
5. Softening Point Of Bitumen
6. Flash And Fire Point Of Bitumen
7. The Marshall Stability of Bituminous Mixture

Just click on the names of the tests above to know the entire procedure of how we perform these tests.

    Sir,
    All testing procedure on Bitumen are very useful.
    Would you please mail me how to determine kinematic viscosity of a bitumen.

    thanking you

    With regards
    rawatas.

    there are some tests that you did not write anything here. Could you please give some informations about “Loss on heating test , Spot test, Solubility test” ?

  • Kalpesh Patel February 12, 2010 at 12:42 am

    its very usefull information for all civil engineer.

  • Ganesh Jee March 12, 2010 at 11:41 am

    Sir i want to know about lab test method and simple equipments for absalute viscosity of bitumen.

  • zhang July 6, 2010 at 9:39 am

    SIR,I want to kown ho to do the spot test of bitument,Could sent a mail about this problem?
    Thank you !

  • Sunil Kumar July 10, 2010 at 1:22 am

    Dear Sir,
    I dont know how to conduct the following tests:
    1. Viscosity Test of Bit
    2. Loss on heat test of Bit.
    3. Solubility Test of Bit.

    If you kindly send me it is procedure with update testing Tamplate.

  • P.SOUNDAR July 24, 2010 at 9:14 am

    dear sir,
    we are requiring the kinematic viscosity of bitumen vg 30 grade,so we need the calibration of viscometer and procedure.
    thanks and regards

    hi
    i had a doubt on the way the grading of bitumen takes place? can you fwd me to a link which specifies that..
    thank you

  • gregorio c yee January 29, 2011 at 7:11 am

    dear sir, we are planning to conduct a seminar on different laboratory test on asphalting work, do have any training materials on this ? a powerpoint presentation would be of great help. thanks

  • Beatrice Kungu May 18, 2011 at 11:13 am

    Sir, send me the procedure for preparation of modified bitumen using waste plastic bags from the point plastic bags are collected, shredded to application on the road

  • RAMBABU GANJI June 18, 2011 at 6:17 am

    It is very usefull for civil engineers.

  • mubarikshah June 23, 2011 at 11:59 am

    pl.send me the procedure of kinematic viscosity of bitumen and detaled equipment pictures(photos)thanks.

  • sajan July 9, 2011 at 9:14 am

    sir, my specification section call for bitumen stripping test, i have performed the penetration test of bitumen, my questing we need to perfom the stripping test once we have the test result of penetration test?

  • Dhaval Patel September 16, 2011 at 1:53 am

    Cna you tall me what is the maining of 80-100(VG10) Bituman.?
    i want to no what is 80-100?

  • Ravinder October 27, 2011 at 1:45 am

    Respected si, rvg30 bituminous test procedures & specified limits please send me details

  • Rakesh kumar jena January 10, 2012 at 12:13 am

    SIR I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT RING BALL apparatus TEST SO PLZ UPDATE THE TEST

  • wickramasinghe January 12, 2012 at 11:08 pm

    sir,
    could you send me testing required for quality assurance of concrete including aggregate, water etc. and soil (for consolidation, and borrow pit). also request the relevant apparatus required for abvoe tests.
    thank you
