EN 12697-5:2018 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies test methods for determining the maximum density of a bituminous mixture (voidless mass). It specifies a volumetric procedure, a hydrostatic procedure and a mathematical procedure. The test methods described are intended for use with loose bituminous mixtures containing paving grade bitumens, modified binders or other bituminous binders used for bituminous mixtures. The tests are suitable for both fresh and aged bituminous mixtures. Samples may be supplied as loose material or as compacted material; it is advised to separate the latter first. NOTE
General guidance on selection of a test procedure to determine the maximum density of a bituminous mixture is given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements 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 1097 (all parts), Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates EN 12697-1, Bituminous mixtures — Test methods for hot mix asphalt — Part 1: Soluble binder content EN 12697-27, Bituminous mixtures — Test methods — Part 27: Sampling EN 12697-28, Bituminous mixtures — Test methods for hot mix asphalt — Part 28: Preparation of samples for determining binder content, water content and grading EN ISO 3838, Crude petroleum and liquid or solid petroleum products — Determination of density or relative density — Capillary-stoppered pyknometer and graduated bicapillary pyknometer methods (ISO 3838) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: — Electropedia I.E.C. available at http://www.electropedia.org/ — ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 maximum density mass per unit volume without air voids of the bituminous mixture 3.2 bulk density mass per unit volume including the air voids of a specimen SIST EN 12697-5:2019



EN 12697-5:2018 (E) 7 3.3 apparent particle density ratio of the oven dried mass of a sample of aggregate to the volume it occupies in water including any internal sealed voids but excluding water accessible voids 3.4 particle density on an oven dried basis of aggregate ratio of the oven dried mass of a sample of aggregate to the volume it occupies in water including any internal sealed voids and water accessible voids 3.5 loose bulk density of aggregate quotient obtained when the mass of dry aggregate filling a specified container without compaction is divided by the capacity of that container 4 Principle The maximum density, together with the bulk density, is used to calculate the air voids content of a compacted sample and other volumetric-related properties of a compacted bituminous mixture. In the volumetric and hydrostatic procedures, the maximum density of bituminous mixture is determined from the volume of the sample without voids and from its dry mass. In the volumetric procedure, the volume of the sample is measured as the displacement of water or solvent by the sample in a pyknometer. NOTE The use of solvent is not suitable for mixtures containing additives that absorb water, e.g. zeolites (see Annex A) or additives that are solved by solvent. In the hydrostatic procedure, the volume of the sample is calculated from the dry mass of the sample and from its mass in water. In the mathematical procedure, the maximum density of a bituminous mixture is calculated from its composition (binder content and aggregate content) and the densities of the constituent materials. 5 Materials 5.1 De-aired water (freshly de-aired and cooled), demineralized water or organic solvent, suitable to dissolve bituminous binders (for the volumetric and hydrostatic procedures). 5.2 Dispersion agent, e.g. 7 % of Nonylphenolpolyglcolether (7 groups of Ethoxyl) in water. 5.3 Boiling water. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Tools to clean samples (if required). 6.2 Ventilated cabinet, capable of drying the sample and maintaining a uniform temperature within (110 ± 5) °C in the vicinity of the test sample(s). 6.3 Suitable tools to loosen and separate the sample, e.g. spatula. 6.4 Balance, with an accuracy of at least 0,1 g for masses up to 5 kg, and 1 g for masses over 5 kg. 6.5 Thermometer, of suitable accuracy. SIST EN 12697-5:2019



EN 12697-5:2018 (E) 8 6.6 Water-bath, capable of maintaining the water at a uniform temperature within ± 0,2 °C in the vicinity of the test sample(s). The water-bath shall contain a grid to permit submersion of the pyknometer or container to around 20 mm below the upper edge of pyknometer or container and to allow the water to circulate. The volume of the bath shall be at least three times that of the pyknometer/container. 6.7 Vibrating table, or other means to shake the pyknometer or container during the evacuation of air. 6.8 Pyknometer (for the volumetric procedure) of suitable size, with an accurately fitting head piece. The volume of the pyknometer shall be such that the sample occupies up to 2/3 of its volume. The volume of the pyknometer shall be regularly calibrated in accordance with Annex C. For the safety of operatives, the pyknometer should be made of plastic rather than glass. 6.9 Vacuum system (for the volumetric procedure), with manometer or calibrated vacuum gauge, capable of evacuating air from the pyknometer to a residual pressure of 4 kPa or less. 6.10 Container (for the hydrostatic procedure), capable of being suspended in water. The shape of the container shall be such that the sample can be immersed completely when filling the container with water; the sample shall occupy up to 2/3 of the containers volume which shall be not less than 3,0 × 103 m3. 6.11 Vacuum desiccator or other vacuum vessel (for the hydrostatic procedure), capable of accommodating the pyknometer or container. 6.12 Rubber mallet (optional) (for calibration of the pyknometer). 7 Sampling 7.1 Samples of bituminous mixture shall be obtained in accordance with EN 12697-27. 7.2 Loose samples shall have a mass, expressed in grams (g), of at least 50 times the numerical value of the nominal maximum particle size of the aggregates in millimetres (mm) (i.e. the largest specified sieve size of the mixture) with a minimum of 250 g. Samples from cores shall have a minimum thickness of the greater of 20 mm and two times the maximum nominal size of the aggregate. 7.3 For cores, record the thickness of all layers in the as received condition. If the layers are of variable thickness, record both the minimum and maximum thicknesses. If either or both of the ends have a surface that is rough, cut those ends, removing any rough ends that would underestimate the bulk density. Cut the core at each interface between different layers perpendicular to the axis of the core such that there is no material remaining of any other layer in each slice. More extensive cutting may be undertaken if the remaining sample still complies with the sample size requirements imposed by any subsequent test procedure. NOTE This operation may require two cuts with a slither to discard when the joints between layers are not perpendicular to the axis of the core. 7.4 Record the thickness of each cut layer. The sample for any shall be regarded as representative of the whole layer if it constitutes at least 80 % of the original minimum thickness. SIST EN 12697-5:2019



EN 12697-5:2018 (E) 9 8 Preparation of Sample 8.1 Bulk samples Obtain a test sample from a bulk sample after homogenizing by riffling or quartering in accordance with EN 12697-28. 8.2 Samples from finished material Samples of compacted material shall be cleaned by brushing or washing before being placed in the ventilated cabinet, at a temperature of (110 ± 5) °C, dried to constant mass and then separated. NOTE 1 Constant mass is obtained when the change of mass between two determinations at an interval of at least 30 min is less than 0,1 % (by mass). NOTE 2 For mixtures containing additives that absorb water (e.g. zeolites) the drying to constant mass will generally take more time. 8.3 Sample separation Samples shall be loosened and separated into coarse particles and agglomerations. Agglomerations shall not be larger than 6 mm. If the material is not sufficiently soft to separate manually, warm it on a tray in an oven at a temperature not exceeding 110 °C, but only until it can be properly handled. 9 Procedure 9.1 General All masses shall be determined in grams (g) to the nearest 0,1 g. The volume of the pyknometer shall be determined in m3 to the nearest 0,5 × 106 m3. 9.2 Procedure A: Volumetric procedure 9.2.1 Weigh the empty pyknometer including the head piece (m1) of known volume (Vp). NOTE The volume of the pyknometer can be determined in accordance with Annex C. 9.2.2 Place the dry test sample into the pyknometer and bring it to ambient temperature, then weigh again, together with the head piece (m2). 9.2.3 Fill the pyknometer with de-aired water, demineralized water or solvent, up to a level 30 mm or more below the head joint. NOTE The use of solvent is not suitable for mixtures containing additives that absorb water (e.g. zeolites) or additives that are solved by solvent. 9.2.4 Evacuate the entrapped air by applying a partial vacuum that results in a residual pressure of 4 kPa or less for (15 ± 1) min. The evacuation of air in accessible pores is important. Evacuation can be assisted by stirring, rotating or vibrating the pyknometer on a vibrating table. When using water, adding a small amount of a dispersion agent (two drops only) can facilitate air evacuation. When using solvent, stirring and vibrating without applying a vacuum should be used. The de-aired water can be replaced by boiled water. For some mixtures, it may be necessary to determine an optimum time for applying the vacuum by varying the time of increments of 1 min or 2 min from 15 min and identifying the value corresponding to the highest maximum
