3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12597 and the following apply.

3.1
residue on sieving
mass fraction in % of particles retained on a sieve of a mesh size specified in this document
3.2
storage stability
ability of a bituminous emulsion not to form more coarse particles within a period specified under an
appropriate emulsion specification
Note 1 to entry: Storage stability is a different concept than settling tendency as defined and measured by
EN 12847 [1]. Although both phenomena are often linked, an emulsion may settle without modification of particle
size distribution (no coalescence of emulsion droplets).
Note 2 to entry: The purpose of the limits fixed by the emulsion specification is to ensure that there cannot be
any disturbance of the workability of the bitumen emulsion under practical conditions.
3.3
normal laboratory conditions
a range of temperature between 18 °C and 28 °C
4 Principle
A known mass of bituminous emulsion is filtered either through a prepared sieve with a mesh size of
0,500 mm or through two prepared sieves with mesh sizes of 0,500 mm and of 0,160 mm. The amount of
binder retained on the sieves is weighed after washing and drying.
Storage stability is determined as the amount of binder retained on the sieve with a mesh size of
0,500 mm after a defined storage period (n days).
5 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water conforming to grade 3 of EN ISO 3696:1995.
The aqueous solutions (5.1) and (5.2) may be replaced by aqueous phases of the same ionic structure as
the emulsion under test.
5.1 Solution S
a
Aqueous phase solution of nominal 0,01 mol/l of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) containing a nominal 1 %
mass fraction of sodium oleate. This solution, or the actual aqueous phase, may be used for the
preparation of anionic emulsion samples.
5.2 Solution S
c
Aqueous phase solution of nominal 0,01 mol/l of hydrochloric acid (HCl) containing a nominal 1 % mass
fraction of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. This solution, or the actual aqueous phase, may be used
for the preparation of cationic emulsion samples.
The solution of 1 % of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide should be prepared slightly above 25 °C (but
not higher than 30 °C). Then it should be stored at a temperature of (25 ± 1) °C before test.
5.3 Efficient rinsing agent
Suitable solvent rinsing agents shall be used.
5.4 Ethanol
96 % minimum or methylated spirit 99 % shall be used.
5.5 Acetone
95 % minimum shall be used.
6 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following, shall be used.
6.1 Sieve, conforming to ISO 3310-1, stainless steel or brass, with a frame diameter within the range
of 75 mm to 100 mm and a mesh size of 0,500 mm.
6.2 Sieve, conforming to ISO 3310-1, stainless steel or brass, with a frame diameter within the range
of 75 mm to 100 mm and a mesh size of 0,160 mm.
