Bitumen and bituminous binders - Accelerated long-term ageing conditioning by a Pressure Ageing Vessel (PAV)

This document specifies an accelerated ageing/conditioning procedure for bituminous binders. The procedure involves ageing trays of binder at elevated temperatures under pressurized conditions in a pressure ageing vessel (PAV).
NOTE   For binders to be used in hot asphalt applications, the pre-conditioning of the sample can be performed using one of the methods in the EN 12607 series. For binders to be used in bituminous emulsion and cut-back or fluxed applications, the stabilizing of the sample is such that there are no volatiles remaining.
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment, in particular, the use of a high pressure ageing vessel. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. If there is the likelihood of volatile components being present in a binder, this procedure is not used.

Bitumen und bitumenhaltige Bindemittel - Beschleunigte Langzeit-Alterung mit einem Druckalterungsbehälter (PAV)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Konditionierungsverfahren mit beschleunigter Alterung/Konditionierung für bitumenhaltige Bindemittel fest. Das Verfahren beschreibt die Alterung von Bindemitteln in Schalen bei erhöhten Temperaturen in einem Druckalterungsbehälter (PAV, en: pressure ageing vessel) unter Überdruck-Bedingungen.
ANMERKUNG   Bei Bindemitteln, die für Heißasphaltanwendungen vorgesehen sind, kann die Vorbehandlung der Probe nach einem der in EN 12607 festgelegten Verfahren erfolgen. Bei Bindemitteln, die in Anwendungen mit Bitumenemulsionen und verschnittenen oder gefluxten Bitumen verwendet werden sollen, erfolgt die Stabilisierung der Probe so, dass keine flüchtigen Bestandteile zurückbleiben.
WARNUNG - Die Anwendung dieses Dokuments kann den Umgang mit gefährlichen Substanzen und Ausrüstungsteilen – speziell die Verwendung eines Hochdruckalterungsbehälters – und die Ausführung gefährlicher Arbeitsgänge einschließen. Dieses Dokument erhebt nicht den Anspruch, alle mit seiner Anwendung verbundenen Sicherheitsprobleme anzusprechen. Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Anwenders dieses Dokuments, geeignete Verhaltensregeln für den Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz festzulegen und vor der Anwendung zu klären, ob einschränkende Vorschriften zu berücksichtigen sind. Ist es wahrscheinlich, dass flüchtige Bestandteile in einem Bindemittel vorhanden sind, wird dieses Verfahren nicht angewendet.

Bitumes et liants bitumineux - Vieillissement long-terme accéléré réalisé dans un récipient de vieillissement sous pression (PAV)

Le présent document décrit une méthode de vieillissement/conditionnement accéléré pour les liants bitumineux. La méthode consiste à faire vieillir le liant, épandu sur des coupelles, en le soumettant à des températures élevées et sous pression, le tout dans un récipient sous pression adapté (PAV).
NOTE   Pour les liants destinés à être utilisés dans des applications d'enrobés à chaud, le pré-conditionnement de l’échantillon peut être effectué selon une des méthodes de la série des EN 12607. Pour les liants destinés à être utilisés dans des émulsions bitumineuses et des applications de liants fluidifiés ou fluxés, la stabilisation de l’échantillon est réalisée de sorte à ce que plus aucun composé volatil ne soit présent.
AVERTISSEMENT — L'utilisation de ce document peut impliquer l'intervention de produits, d'opérations et d'équipements à caractère dangereux, en particulier, l’utilisation d’un récipient de vieillissement à haute pression. Le présent document n'est pas censé aborder tous les problèmes de sécurité concernés par son usage. Il incombe à son utilisateur d'établir des règles d'hygiène et de sécurité appropriées et de déterminer l'applicabilité des restrictions réglementaires avant utilisation. Si des composés volatils sont suspectés être présents dans le liant, cette procédure ne doit pas être utilisée.

3.3
stabilization

conditioning of the binders from bituminous emulsions, cut-back or fluxed bitumens to produce residual

binders for further determination of their characteristics
Note 1 to entry: The conditioning procedure is described in EN 13074-2.
3.4
short-term ageing conditioning

conditioning that the binder experiences during the method according to EN 12607-1, EN 12607-2 or

EN 12607-3
3.5
accelerated long-term ageing conditioning

simulated long-term ageing that the binder experiences during the ageing procedure described in this

test standard; this procedure is called “accelerated” because the ageing of the binder during long-term

service life is speeded up for laboratory purposes by use of high pressure and high temperature

Note 1 to entry: In the case of hot mix asphalt binders, the long-term ageing conditioning is carried out on binders

that have already been conditioned through short-term ageing conditioning procedures (see 3.4).

Note 2 to entry: In the case of bituminous emulsion, cut-back and fluxed bitumens, the long-term ageing

conditioning is carried out on binders after a stabilisation procedure (see 3.3).

4 Principle

A static film of binder is heated to a specified temperature under a specified air pressure for a given period

of time. This is done in order to simulate the changes occurring to the binder within the pavement during

service life.

The effects of this ageing procedure are evaluated on the residual binder after the test.

NOTE The ageing of binders during service life is affected by ambient temperature and air pressure as well as

by a mixture of associated variables such as volumetric mixture proportions, mixture permeability, aggregate

properties and other factors. This test is intended to provide an evaluation of the relative ageing behaviour of

binders under specified conditions, but it cannot account entirely for bituminous application variables or provide

relative resistance to ageing at in-service conditions.
5 Apparatus
Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:

5.1 PAV equipment, designed to operate at (2,1 ± 0,1) MPa between 80 °C and 115 °C. Either 5.1.1 or

5.1.2 is applicable (see Figure 1).

5.1.1 Pressure vessel, which shall be made from stainless steel and shall have internal dimensions

adequate to contain a pan holder capable of holding a number of containers (according to requirements

and dimensions given in EN 12607-2:2014, 4.3).

The bottom of the pressure vessel shall be such that the containers are held in a horizontal position with

the binder evenly distributed across the diameter of the container in equal binder film thickness. A

diagram showing a possible configuration of the vessel pan holder and containers and specifying

dimensional requirements is shown in Figure 2.
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 14769:2022
prEN 14769:2021 (E)

Other pressure vessels of different internal dimensions can be used provided that the operating

conditions can be satisfied. In such cases, the containers used may differ from the standard dimensions

given in EN 12607-2.

The pressure vessel may be a separate unit to be placed in a forced draft oven or an integral part with a

temperature control system.

The PAV equipment shall have an integrated, built-in temperature control system that is capable of:

a) bringing the loaded pressure vessel to the desired conditioning temperature ± 1,0 °C, as recorded by

the temperature measuring device inside the vessel, within two hours;
b) maintaining the conditioning temperature at ± 1,0 °C.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — The pressure vessel operates at high temperatures and high pressures. All

safety guidelines issued by equipment manufacturers shall be adhered to.
5.1.2 Forced draft oven, to be used with 5.1.1 and which is capable of:

a) bringing the loaded pressure vessel to the desired conditioning temperature ± 1,0 °C, as recorded by

a suitable temperature measuring device inside the vessel, within two hours after loading the

pressure vessel into the oven;
b) maintaining the conditioning temperature at ± 1,0 °C.

The oven shall have sufficiently large interior dimensions to allow forced air to freely circulate within the

oven and around the pressure vessel. The oven shall contain a stand or a shelf, which supports the loaded

pressure vessel in a level position above the lower surface of the oven.
5.2 Pressure controlling devices, which include the following:

5.2.1 Pressure release valve, which prevents pressure in the vessel from exceeding 2,5 MPa during

the ageing procedure.

5.2.2 Pressure regulator, capable of controlling the pressure within the vessel to ± 0
