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

This European Standard specifies an accelerated ageing/conditioning procedure for bituminous binders. The procedure involves ageing trays of binder at elevated temperatures under pressurised conditions in a pressure ageing vessel (PAV).
NOTE   For binders to be used in hot asphalt applications the pre-conditioning of the sample would typically be by one of the methods in EN 12607. For binders to be used in bituminous emulsion and cut-back applications the stabilising of the sample should be such that there are no volatiles remaining.
WARNING - The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment, in particular, the use of a high pressure ageing vessel. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard 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 shall not be used.

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

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren mit beschleunigter Alterung/Behandlung für bitumenhaltige
Bindemittel fest. Das Verfahren beinhaltet die Alterung von Bindemitteln in Schalen bei erhöhten
Temperaturen in einem Druckalterungsbehälter (PAV) unter Überdruck-Bedingungen.
ANMERKUNG Bei Bindemitteln, die für Heißasphaltanwendungen verwendet werden, würde die Vorbehandlung der
Probe üblicherweise nach einem der Verfahren in EN 12607 erfolgen. Bei Bindemitteln, die in Anwendungen mit
Bitumenemulsionen und verschnittenen Bitumen verwendet werden sollen, sollte die Stabilisierung so erfolgen, dass keine
flüchtigen Bestandteile zurückbleiben.
WARNUNG : Die Anwendung dieser Norm kann gefährliche Substanzen, Arbeitsgänge und
Ausrüstung, insbesondere die Verwendung eines Hochdruckalterungsbehälters, einschließen. In der
Norm werden nicht alle Sicherheitsprobleme angesprochen, die mit ihrer Anwendung verbunden sind.
Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Anwenders dieser Norm, geeignete Gesundheitsschutz- und
Sicherheitsmaßnahmen vorzusehen und vorher zu klären, ob einschränkende Vorschriften zu
berücksichtigen sind.
Ist es wahrscheinlich, dass es flüchtige Bestandteile in einem Bindemittel gibt, darf dieses Verfahren
nicht angewendet werden.

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

La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode de vieillissement/conditionnement accéléré des bitumes
et liants bitumineux. Cette méthode repose sur le vieillissement sous pression de plateaux de liants a des
températures élevées dans un récipient de vieillissement sous pression (PAV).
NOTE Pour les liants destinés a etre utilisés a chaud, le préconditionnement de l’échantillon sera typiquement
effectué selon une des méthodes de l’EN 12607. Pour les liants destinés a etre utilisés dans des émulsions bitumineuses
et des applications de liants fluidifiés ou fluxés, la stabilisation de l’échantillon devrait etre telle que plus aucun composé
volatil ne soit présent.
AVERTISSEMENT : L'utilisation de la présente norme implique l'intervention de produits,
d'opérations et d'équipements a caractere dangereux, en particulier, l’utilisation d’un récipient de
vieillissement a haute pression. La présente norme n'est pas censée aborder tous les problemes de
sécurité concernés par son usage. Il est de la responsabilité de l'utilisateur de consulter et d'établir
des regles d'hygiene et de sécurité appropriées et de déterminer l'applicabilité des restrictions
réglementaires avant utilisation.
Si des composés volatils sont suspectés etre présents dans le liant, cette procédure ne doit pas etre
utilisée.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies an accelerated ageing/conditioning procedure for bituminous binders. The
procedure involves ageing trays of binder at elevated temperatures under pressurised conditions in a pressure
ageing vessel (PAV).
NOTE For binders to be used in hot asphalt applications the pre-conditioning of the sample would typically be by one of
the methods in EN 12607. For binders to be used in bituminous emulsion and cut-back or fluxed applications the stabilising of
the sample should be such that there are no volatiles remaining.
WARNING — The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment, in
particular, the use of a high pressure ageing vessel. This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard 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 shall not be
used.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.

EN 12607-1, Bitumen and bituminous binders – Determination of the resistance to hardening under the influence
of heat and air – Part 1: RTFOT method.
EN 12607-2:1999, Bitumen and bituminous binders – Determination of the resistance to hardening under the

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
short-term ageing/conditioning
conditioning that the binder goes through during the method described in EN 12607 (parts 1, 2 & 3)
3.2

3.4
accelerated long-term ageing conditioning
simulated long-term ageing that the binder goes through during the accelerated pressure ageing procedure. In
the case of hot mix asphalt binders the long-term ageing is carried out on binders that have already been
conditioned through short-term ageing/conditioning. In the case of bituminous emulsion and cut-back, the long
term ageing is carried out on binders after a stabilisation procedure.
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 to simulate the changes occurring to the binder within the pavement during use.
The effects of this ageing procedure are evaluated on the residual binder after the test.
NOTE The ageing of binders during service is affected by ambient temperature and air pressure as well as by mixture
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
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 Pressure/temperature vessel designed to operate at 2,1 MPa ± 0,1 MPa between 80 °C and 115 °C.
Either 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 applies (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 (as per requirements and dimensions given in
EN 12607-2). The bottom of the pressure vessel shall be such that the containers are held in a horizontal
position with the binder film thickness evenly distributed across the diameter of the container. A schematic
showing a possible configuration of the vessel pan holder and containers and specifying dimensional
requirements is shown in Figure 2.
NOTE 1 Most pan holder assemblies hold up to 10 containers.
NOTE 2 Other pressure vessels of different internal dimensions may 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.
5.1.2 Forced-draft oven, to be used with 5.1.1, capable of:
a) bringing the loaded pressurised vessel to the desired conditioning temperature ± 0,5 °C, as recorded by a
suitable thermometer inside the vessel, within two hours after loading the pressure vessel into the oven,
b) maintaining the temperature at all points within the vessel at the ageing temperature ± 0,5 °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.
5.1.3 Pressure vessel, having the same dimensions described in 5.2.1, with an integral temperature control
system that is capable of:
a) bringing the loaded pressure vessel to the desired conditioning temperature ± 0,5 °C, as recorded by the
thermometer inside the vessel, within two hours,

b) maintaining the temperature at all points within the vessel at the ageing temperature ± 0,5 °C.
The vessel may be a separate unit to be placed in a forced draft oven or an integral part of a temperature
control system.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — The pressure ageing vessel operates at high temperatures and high
pressures. All safety guidelines issued by equipment manufacturers must be adhered to.
5.2 Pressure controlling devices
5.2.1 Pressure release valve, which prevents pressure in the vessel from exceeding 2,5 MPa during
the ageing procedure.
