Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 31: Specimen preparation by gyratory compactor
This European Standard specifies the method for compaction of cylindrical specimens of bituminous mixtures using a gyratory compactor. Such compaction is achieved by combining a rotary shearing action and a vertical resultant force applied by a mechanical head.
The method is used for:
- determination of the air voids content of a mixture for a given number of gyrations or derivation of a curve density (or void content) versus number of gyrations;
- preparation of specimens of given height and/or at a predetermined density, for subsequent testing of their mechanical properties.
Annex A, Annex B and/or Annex C describe method of complying for the equipment
This European Standard applies to bituminous mixtures (both those made up in laboratory and those resulting from work site sampling), with an upper aggregate size not larger than 31,5 mm.

EN 12697-31:2019 (E) 9 4 Principle The bituminous mixture is contained within a cylindrical mould limited by inserts and kept at a constant temperature within specified tolerances throughout the whole duration of the test. Compaction is achieved by the simultaneous action of a low static compression, and of the shearing action resulting from the motion of the axis of the sample which generates a conical surface of revolution, of apex O and of 2 Ö angle at the apex, while the ends of the test piece should ideally remain perpendicular to the axis of the conical surface (see Figure 1).

If it is cut or cored in a compacted layer, the size of the sample shall be such that the mass M prescribed in 6.1.2 can be taken from it or more than one sample shall be combined to obtain the mass M. If the nominal maximum size of the aggregates is 16 mm or less, the diameter of the specimens shall be 100 mm, 150 mm or 160 mm. If the maximum size of the aggregates is more than 16 mm, the diameter of the specimens shall be 150 mm or 160 mm. The following operations shall be carried out: — except for cold mix asphalt, place moulds and inserts for at least 2 h within an enclosure brought to the reference compaction temperature ± 5 °C; — lubricate moulds with a coating of glycerised soda oleate applied with a brush, or of silicon grease; — if the sample has been cut or cored in a compacted layer, bring it to a temperature at which the bituminous mixture is loose enough, so that the sample can be carefully crumbled without crushing any stones and the prescribed mass M can be taken; — bring the bituminous mixture to a temperature of at least the reference compaction temperature, but not exceeding this temperature by more than 20 °C, for which the heating time shall not be longer than necessary in order to avoid additional ageing of the loose mixture; — if the mixture is cut or cored from a compacted layer, the cutting of stones will have an impact of the grading. To minimize or exclude this effect, the ratio of the cut surface to the volume of the sample shall be as small as possible (for example by taking cores with a larger diameter) or the cut surfaces shall be carefully removed; — if necessary, mix manually to minimize possible segregation, weigh the mould and inserts, fill the mould with the mixture by means of a funnel in one operation only and weigh the mould and inserts plus the mixture in the mould, so that the prescribed mass M or Mw of bituminous mixture in the mould is obtained with an accuracy of 0,1 %; — alternatively, weigh the mass M or Mw of the bituminous mixture in an intermediate container, to an accuracy of 0,1 %, and introduce the bituminous mixture into the mould by means of a funnel in one operation only; — for cold mix asphalt, the mixture shall be kept at least 15 min in the mould before the start of the test; — except for cold mix asphalt, measure the temperature of the mixture in the centre of the mould. When the temperature is more than 5 °C below the reference compaction temperature, the filled mould and the inserts shall be replaced in the oven at the reference compaction temperature ± 5 °C for between 30 min and 2 h.

If the mould is not kept in temperature by a heating system, the mould filled with the asphalt mixture shall be preheated for at least 15 min in order to minimize loss of temperature of the mixture.
