3.1
filler aggregate
aggregate, most of which passes a 0,063 mm sieve, which can be added to construction materials to
provide certain properties
3.2
water susceptibility of filler
measure of the degree of separation which occurs in the presence of water from a filler bitumen mixture,
e.g. as a result of intra-crystalline water inclusion between aggregate particles and binder coating
3.3
subsample
sample obtained from sampling increments or a bulk sample by means of a sample reduction procedure
3.4
test portion
sample used as a whole in a single test
3.5
aggregate size
designation of aggregate in terms of lower (d) and upper (D) sieve sizes expressed as d/D
Note 1 to entry: This designation accepts the presence of some particles which will be retained on the upper sieve
(oversize) and some which will pass the lower sieve (undersize).
3.6
particle size fraction
fraction of an aggregate passing the larger of two sieves and retained on the smaller

A mixture of filler and bitumen is stirred in hot water. If filler becomes separated from the mixture
(indicated by the turbidity of the water), the filler is recovered on a filter paper and weighed.

5.3 Sampling
The laboratory sub-sample shall be taken in accordance with EN 932-1 and reduced in accordance with
EN 932-2, to produce a mass of about 50 g.
5.4 Preparation of test portions
Dry the reduced mass of filler in an oven at a temperature of (110 ± 5) °C to constant mass and cool to
room temperature in a desiccator for at least 90 min. If agglomerates are present in the material, reduce
these agglomerates to powder by means of a spatula. Mix the pulverised agglomerates with the rest of
the sub-sample and sieve the sub-sample through the 0,125 mm sieve. Remix the material passing the
sieve and take (10 ± 0,1) g as the test portion (m0).
5.5 Procedure
Place (50,0 ± 0,5) g of low viscosity bitumen solution (5.1.3) into the conical flask or the tinplate can and
add the test portion of filler to the conical flask or tinplate can. Measure (100 ± 5) ml of demineralized
water into the measuring cylinder.
Place the conical flask or the tinplate with the lead cap and the measuring cylinder in the water bath until
a temperature of (60 ± 1) °C has been reached by the contents of both vessels (checking by means of
thermometers) and maintain this temperature during the test. Stir the contents of the conical flask or the
tinplate can with its lead cap mechanically for (300 ± 5) s and then allow the mixture to stand for
(300 ± 5) s.
Pour the water from the measuring cylinder into the conical flask or the tinplate can with the lead cap
and stir again for (300 ± 5) s.
In the case of use of tinplate can, the supernatant water is to be transferred into a beaker, to see if
uncoated filler has separated.
In the case of a use of a glass conical flask, examine the mixture to see if uncoated filler has separated. If
not, the filler shall be considered as non-susceptible to water.
If the filler separates, or in the case of turbidity of the water, determine the water susceptibility as follows.
Allow the conical flask or the tinplate can and its contents to cool so that the mixture becomes kneadable.
Pour the water and the filler separated from the mixture by kneading in the flask with a spatula and
washing with water. Pour the water and the separated filler into the beaker and repeat the process until
the washing with water becomes clear.
Weigh a dried filter paper and records its mass (m ). Filter the contents of the beaker through the
1
weighed filter paper in a Büchner funnel to the vacuum flask. Remove the last traces of bitumen by

mass.

A.5 Sampling
Samples shall be taken in accordance with EN 932-1 and reduced in accordance with EN 932-2. The
masses of the test portions for Marshall specimens are specified in Table A.1.

Dry the reduced mass of filler for 4 h in an oven at a temperature of (110 ± 5) °C and cool to room
temperature in a desiccator for at least 90 min. Sieve it on 125 µm.
A.6 Preparation of Marshall specimens
Screen the coarse aggregate to remove oversize and undersize and wash to remove fines. Screen the fine
aggregate into size fractions of 0,125/0,25 mm, 0,25/0,71 mm and 0,71/2,0 mm by wet sieving.
Eight Marshall specimens shall be prepared in accordance with EN 12697-30 from a mixture of hot mix
asphalt using the proportion of aggregates shown in Table A.2.
The bitumen is to be used in a quantity which, together with the aggregate mix specified, gives a void
content of (5,5 ± 0,5) % by volume of a Marshall specimen.
Heat the aggregate mixture and bitumen for eight Marshall specimens in an air circulating oven without
fresh air supply for about 3 h at 140 °C. Place the hot aggregates into the mixer preheated to 140 °C and
add the prescribed quantity of binder. Mix the components in accordance with EN 12697-35 to prepare
a mixture to produce eight Marshall specimens.
Directly after the mixing process, the aggregate mixture is divided in 8 subsamples.
Heat the asphalt mixtures to 140 °C, again in the ventilated oven, within 1 h of mixing process.
Subsequently compact the specimens in accordance with EN 12697-34 within 30 min.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1744-4:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154
“Aggregates”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1744-4:2005.
The main changes compared to EN 1744-4:2005 are:
— updated normative references;
— clarification of the apparatus described in 5.2;
— clarification of the procedure described in 5.5.
This document forms part of a series of tests for chemical properties of aggregates. Test
methods for other properties of aggregates are covered by Parts of the following European
standards:
EN 932, Tests for general properties of aggregates
EN 933, Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates
EN 1097, Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates
EN 1367, Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates
EN 13179, Tests for filler aggregate used in bituminous mixtures
The other parts of EN 1744 are, or will be:
Part 1: Chemical analysis
Part 2: Determination of resistance to alkali/aggregate reaction
Part 3: Preparation of eluates by leaching of aggregates
Part 5: Determination of acid soluble chloride salts
Part 6: Determination of the influence of aggregate extract on the initial setting time of cement
Part 7: Determination of loss on ignition of Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (MIBA
Aggregate)
Part 8: Sorting test to determine metal content of Municipal Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA)
Aggregates

1 Scope
This document specifies the procedure for the determination of the water susceptibility of
fillers for bituminous mixtures, by separation of filler from a bitumen filler mixture.
A method for the determination of water susceptibility by volume increase and loss of stability
of a Marshall specimen is described in Annex A.

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:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
filler aggregate
aggregate, most of which passes a 0,063 mm sieve, which can be added to construction
materials to provide certain properties
3.2
water susceptibility of filler
measure of the degree of separation which occurs in the presence of water from a filler bitumen
mixture, e.g. as a result of intra-crystalline water inclusion between aggregate particles and
binder coating
3.3
subsample
sample obtained from sampling increments or a bulk sample by means of a sample reduction
procedure
3.4
test portion
sample used as a whole in a single test
3.5
aggregate size
designation of aggregate in terms of lower (d) and upper (D) sieve sizes expressed as d/D
Note 1 to entry: This designation accepts the presence of some particles which will be retained on the
upper sieve (oversize) and some which will pass the lower sieve (undersize).
3.6
particle size fraction
fraction of an aggregate passing the larger of two sieves and retained on the smaller
Note 1 to entry: The smaller sieve size can be zero.
3.7
constant mass
successive weighings after drying at least 1 h apart not differing by more than 0,1 %, by mass
Note 1 to entry: In many cases constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a
pre- determined period in a specified oven at (110 ± 5) °C. Test laboratories can determine the time
required to achieve constant mass for specific types and sizes of sample dependent upon the drying
capacity of the oven used.

4 Principle
A mixture of filler and bitumen is stirred in hot water. If filler becomes separated from the
mixture (indicated by the turbidity of the water), the filler is recovered on a filter paper and
weighed.
