330 × 0,1 mm, the test temperature shall be reduced to 15 °C but the operating parameters of the applied load and the loading duration remain unchanged.
Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following: 5.1 Penetrometer; apparatus that permits a needle holder to move vertically without measurable friction and enables the needle penetration to be determined to the nearest 0,1 mm. The needle holder shall be readily detachable from the apparatus and shall have a mass of (47,50 ± 0,05) g. A weight of (50,00 ± 0,05) g suitable for attachment to the needle holder shall be provided if not already fixed to the needle holder. The stand upon which the specimen container, or transfer dish rests shall be flat and horizontal. The 50 g weight shall be fixed underneath the support (see Figure 1). NOTE An example of a suitable penetrometer is shown in Figure 1. To facilitate levelling, the penetrometer should be provided with level adjustment screws. Equipment that controls the penetration time automatically may also be used. Such equipment shall be checked regularly for correct penetration time (see 5.6). 5.2 Penetration needle, (see Figure 2), made from fully hardened, tempered and polished stainless steel of type X105CrMo17 (1.4125), conforming to EN 10088-3, taking into account that it is not necessary to comply with the minimum content of molybdenum specified in that standard, and of Rockwell hardness C54 to C60 determined in accordance with ISO 6508-1. The cylindrical body of the needle shall have a diameter of
1,00 mm to 1,02 mm and one end shall be symmetrically tapered by grinding to a cone with an angle of 9 °
(10 ± 30) ' over the entire cone length. The cone shall be co-axial with the cylindrical body of the needle; the total axial variation of the intersection between the conical and cylindrical surfaces shall not exceed 0,2 mm. The conical tip of the needle shall be ground square to the axis of the needle within 2 ° until the diameter at the tip is between 0,14 mm and 0,16 mm. The edge of the ground tip shall be sharp and free from burrs. For penetrations up to 330 × 0,1 mm the length of the needle shall be approximately 50 mm. For penetrations between 330 × 0,1 mm and 500 × 0,1 mm, use needles that shall conform to the requirements given for mass and dimensions, but which are longer in length so that the ferrule into which the needle is fixed does not penetrate the material undergoing testing. The needle shall be rigidly mounted in a brass or stainless steel ferrule with 5 mm to 10 mm of the needle inside the ferrule. The run-out of the needle tip or any part of the needle relative to the ferrule axis shall not exceed 1,0 mm. The ferrule shall be (3,20 ± 0,05) mm in diameter and (38 ± 1) mm in length. The mass of the ferrule and needle assembly shall be (2,50 ± 0,05) g. NOTE 1 A drill hole at the end of the ferrule or a flat on the side is possible to control the mass. Individual identification marking shall be engraved or stamped on the ferrule of each needle; the same marking shall not be repeated by the manufacturer within a 3 year period. The needle shall be inspected visually for corrosion and shape and the masses of the needle and spindle checked sufficiently regularly to assure satisfactory condition. NOTE 2 The mass of the needle plus needle holder together with the additional mass of the weight provides a moving load of 100 g. It is important that initial and continued compliance with the stringent requirements for the needle is maintained. Certification of compliance can be obtained through the needle supplier or a qualified agency. NOTE 3 For information concerning tolerances of the needle (Figure 2), see ISO 286-1, ISO 1829, ISO 1101 and ISO 1302.
If insufficient binder is available (e.g. if it was obtained by extraction of a bituminous mix core or while monitoring short- or long-term ageing development) use a small stainless steel container. In order to fulfil the requirements of 7.4.2, the container shall have an inner diameter of at least 35 mm and a wall thickness between 1,5 mm and 2,0 mm. For penetrations lower than 100 x 0,1 mm, the inner height of the container shall be at least 20 mm. For penetrations from 100 x 0,1 mm up to 200 x 0,1 mm, the inner height of the container shall be at least 30 mm. To ensure a good stable temperature during testing, the container shall be placed in a brass ring with an inner diameter within 0,5 mm of the outer diameter of the sample container and a height of (21 ± 1) mm or (31 ± 1) mm. NOTE 2 The precision of the penetration values determined using the metal ring can be different from those given in Clause 9. 5.4 Water bath (constant temperature bath), with a capacity of at least 10 l, and able to maintain the temperature of the test sample within ± 0,15 °C. The bath shall have a perforated shelf supported in a position not less than 50 mm from the bottom and not less than 100 mm below the liquid level in the bath. If penetration tests are to be made in the bath itself, an additional shelf, strong enough to support the penetrometer shall be provided. NOTE The use of distilled or deionized water is recommended for the bath. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the bath water by active surface agents or any other material that can affect the penetration values. 5.5 Transfer dish, for tests outside the water bath. The dish shall have a capacity of at least 350 ml and shall be deep enough to ensure that the test sample container is completely covered with water. The bottom of the transfer dish shall be constructed so that the dish cannot be rocked when it is placed on the stand of the penetrometer. Similarly the surface on which the test sample container rests shall be made so that the test sample container cannot rock during penetration of the test sample. For temperatures lower than 25 °C, the capacity of the transfer dish shall be 1,5 l. 5.6 Timing device, accurate to within 0,1 s. 5.7 Thermometers, solid stem, as specified in Annex A. Other temperature measuring devices may be used instead of mercury stem thermometers, however, the mercury stem thermometer is the reference device and any alternative device employed shall be calibrated to provide the same readings as a mercury stem thermometer, recognising and allowing for change of thermal response compared with Hg thermometer.
