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.

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

    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.

    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
