BS EN 12697-17 discusses test methods for determining the particle loss of porous asphalt specimens. BS EN 12697-17 specifies a test method for determining the particle loss of porous asphalt mixtures. Particle loss is assessed by the loss of mass of porous asphalt samples after turns in the Los Angeles machine. This test enables the estimation of the abrasion resistance of porous asphalt.
Note: BS EN 12697-17 applies to laboratory compacted cylindrical specimens of porous asphalt mixtures, the upper sieve size of which does not exceed 22,4 mm. It does not reflect the abrasive effect of studded tyres.
BS EN 12697-17 on particle loss of porous asphalt specimens is useful for:
Bituminous materials are employed in a variety of applications, including road construction, roofing, waterproofing, and more. Particle loss of asphalt mix from pavement surfacing leads to surface distress described as ravelling which in turn affects pavement performance.
BS EN 12697-17, which helps you in delivering more durable and long-lasting products and services, that could ultimately reduce maintenance requirements while mitigating risk arising.
