Overview: EN 13179-1:2013 - Delta ring and ball test for filler aggregate

EN 13179-1:2013 (CEN) specifies the laboratory procedure to assess the stiffening effect of filler aggregate when mixed with bitumen. Known as the Delta ring and ball (∆ R & B) test, it measures the increase in bitumen softening point caused by mineral filler in a 37.5 vol% filler / 62.5 vol% bitumen mixture. The result is reported as ∆R & B and is used in quality control and materials characterization for bituminous mixtures and asphalt production.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Determines stiffening effect of fillers in bituminous mixtures; part of a series of tests for bituminous bound filler aggregates.
• Principle: Duplicate brass rings are cast with pure bitumen and with bitumen+filler; disks are heated and the softening point is determined by the Ring & Ball procedure (steel ball drops 25.0 ± 0.4 mm).
• Sample preparation
  • Use filler aggregate < 0.125 mm; test portion mass ≥ 60 g.
  • Dry to constant mass (110 ± 5 °C) and determine particle density (EN 1097-7).
• Mix composition and dosing
  • Volume ratio: 37.5% filler : 62.5% bitumen.
  • Filler mass calculated as mf = 0.6 × mb × f / b (mb = bitumen mass; f = filler particle density; b = bitumen density; use 1.025 Mg/m3 if unknown).
• Apparatus and conditions
  • Oven at (150 ± 5) °C for heating; stirring at controlled temperatures; brass rings per EN 1427.
  • Balance accuracy 0.1 g; 0.125 mm test sieve.
• Results and reporting
  • Calculate mean softening points for bitumen and mixture; report difference rounded to nearest 0.5 °C as ∆R & B.
  • If mixture cannot be homogenized due to extreme stiffening, record result as “greater than 25 °C”.
  • Repeat test if duplicate differences exceed 3 °C.
• Quality rules: Follow EN 932-5 requirements for equipment; include specified test report data.

Applications and users

• Asphalt and bituminous mix designers evaluating filler effects on binder stiffness.
• Aggregate laboratories, materials testing labs, and paving contractors performing production and acceptance testing.
• Quality control in hot mix asphalt (HMA) manufacturing, specification compliance, and research into filler–bitumen interactions.
• National standards bodies and certification laboratories adopting CEN methods.
