BS EN 13702 is a European standard that discusses the binders of bitumen and bituminous. BS EN 13702 contains materials that are adhesive and waterproof which are obtained from the crude oil or present in natural asphalt.
BS EN 13702 specifies a method for determining the dynamic viscosity of a bituminous binder over a range of temperatures by means of a cone and plate viscometer. The test method is intended for all bituminous binders (e.g., paving grade bitumen and polymer modified), unaged or aged.
BS EN 13702 on bitumen and bituminous binders is useful for:
Bituminous binders are an adhesive material that contains bitumen, which may be in the form of conventional bitumen, modified bitumen, or bitumen emulsion.
BS EN 13702 provides you the cone factor for determining the viscosity of bitumen and bituminous binders which is applied for the individual equipment to obtain the actual viscosity from the readings which are mainly due to the geometry of the apparatus.
BS EN 13702 guides you with various types of specifications for bitumen and bituminous binders such as shear stress, shear rate, dynamic viscosity, Newtonian fluid, apparent viscosity, and cone factor, which helps you in determining the viscosity of bitumen and bituminous binders.
