Bitumens and bituminous binders - Determination of adhesivity of cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders by water immersion test - Aggregate method
This document specifies a method for the determination of the adhesivity of cut-back or fluxed bituminous binders coated onto aggregate when immersed in water.
The method can be used with a reference aggregate. In that case, it measures the intrinsic adhesion behaviour of a cut-back and fluxed bituminous binder. The method can also be used with a specific aggregate as used on a job site.

b) removal of the use of a heating plate or heating device when mixing aggregates with binder in 8.2.2
and 8.3.2;
c) the binder is now poured onto the aggregates and the duration between removal of aggregates and
binder from the oven and the beginning of the mixing should not exceed 90 s (see 8.2.2 and 8.3.2);
d) curing and conditioning of the coated aggregate is conducted within a heat resistant glass dish and
in the form of a monolayer of materials instead of being placed into a beaker (see 8.2.2, 8.3.3 and
8.3.4);
e) assessment is conducted under water (which can be replaced if dirty) and with the help of an
appropriate lamp (see 8.3.5);
f) tolerance on the conditioning time (see 8.2.3, 8.3.3 and 8.3.4) is reduced from ±4 h to ±2 h;

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12597 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org
3.1
adhesion
ability of a binder to coat the surface of an aggregate and to remain bonded over time in the presence of
water
3.2
adhesivity
qualitative assessment of the adhesion (3.1)
3.3
ambient temperature
temperature between 18 °C and 28 °C
4 Principle
The binder is mixed thoroughly with a dry and clean aggregate under specified temperature conditions.
After specified pre-conditioning procedures depending on the viscosity of the binder, the mixture is
immersed in water. After a given time under specified conditions, the percentage of the aggregate surface
coated with binder is assessed visually.
The conformity to the adhesivity requirement in accordance with EN 15322 is then assessed while
measuring the binder adhesion with a reference aggregate.
