Overview

EN 13303:2017 - published by CEN - defines a standardized laboratory method for determining the loss in mass after heating of industrial bitumen. The test detects volatile components in bitumen and bituminous binders by weighing a sample before and after controlled heating. The method can be performed at various temperatures; the reference temperature is 163 °C. This standard is widely used for quality control, specification compliance and comparative evaluation of industrial bitumen.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Principle: weigh a sample, heat under defined conditions, cool and re-weigh to calculate mass loss (percentage).
• Reference conditions:
  • Sample mass: 50.0 ± 0.5 g (duplicate tests required).
  • Reference temperature: 163 °C (other test temperatures permitted).
  • Heating period: maintain test temperature ±1 °C for 5 hours (total time not to exceed 5 h 15 min).
  • Rotation: circular shelf rotating at 5–6 r/min to ensure uniform exposure.
• Apparatus:
  • Electrically heated oven ventilated by natural convection (internal min. 330 mm each direction).
  • Rotating shelf (nominal diameter ≥250 mm).
  • Temperature measuring device (range ~155–170 °C, readable to 0.1 °C, accuracy ≤0.5 °C). Mercury thermometers are no longer the reference but allowed where regulations permit.
  • Cylindrical metal or glass containers (≈55 mm diameter × 35 mm depth) and a balance with 0.01 g readability.
• Results and precision:
  • Two determinations are valid if their difference ≤0.05% mass fraction absolute.
  • Express results as the average to nearest 0.01% mass fraction.
  • Precision guidance: for loss <0.5% repeatability r = 0.1, reproducibility R = 0.2; higher ranges have larger tolerances (see EN 13303:2017).
• Safety: the standard warns of hazardous materials and operations; users must implement appropriate health and safety practices.

Applications and users

EN 13303:2017 is intended for:

• Bitumen and asphalt manufacturers performing quality control and batch verification.
• Independent testing laboratories conducting industrial bitumen testing.
• Product development teams evaluating volatility, storage stability, and handling characteristics.
• Specifiers, purchasers and regulatory bodies verifying compliance with contractual or regulatory requirements.

Practical use cases include monitoring volatile losses during storage or processing, comparing binders for performance testing, and supporting specification limits for mass loss after heating.
