Bitumen and bituminous binders - Determination of complex shear modulus and phase angle - Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)

This European Standard specifies a number of methods using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) capable of measuring the rheological properties of bituminous binders. The procedure involves determining the complex shear modulus and phase angle of binders over a range of test frequencies and test temperatures when tested in oscillatory shear.
From the test, the norm of the complex shear modulus, IG*I, and its phase angle, d, at a given temperature and frequency can be calculated, as well as the components G', G'', J' and J'' of the complex shear modulus and of the complex compliance.
This method is applicable to unaged, aged and recovered bituminous binders, cut-backs and bituminous binders stabilised from emulsions.
WARNING - The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

equation or curve on a graph representing the behaviour of a material at a constant temperature
3.5

equation or curve on a graph representing the behaviour of a material at a constant frequency
3.6
region of linear viscoelastic behaviour
region in which complex dynamic (shear) modulus is independent of (shear) stress or strain
4 Principle
A known oscillatory shear stress is applied to the temperature controlled test geometry, in which is held the
bituminous test specimen. The binder's strain response to the stress is measured. Alternatively, a known
oscillatory shear strain is applied to the test specimen and the resulting shear stress is measured.
5 Apparatus
Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:
5.1 Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR), with either an integral temperature control system or
temperature control attachments, capable of controlling the temperature over a minimum range of 5 °C to
85 °C with an accuracy of ± 0,1 °C throughout the test period. The rheometer shall be fitted with parallel plates,
with a constant gap across the area of the plates. The temperature control system shall encompass both
plates, to avoid temperature gradients across the plates. Where the test specimen is immersed in liquid other
than water, ensure that the liquid does not affect the properties of the material being analysed. The rheometer
shall be able to determine G*, in the range of 1 kPa to 10 MPa (± 2 %) and the phase angle (δ), in the range 0
to 90° (± 0,1°).
NOTE 1 For rheometers using an air bearing, and to avoid damage, the air supply to the bearing should be switched
on before the instrument is switched on. When not in use, the spindle should be secured.
NOTE 2 When liquid is used to immerse the test specimen, a water/glycol mixture has been found to be suitable. The
proportions used depend on how low a temperature it is intended to test. Rheometers using radio frequency (RF) heating
and/or liquid gas cooling should be used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
NOTE 3 Where the bottom plate is nominally the same diameter as the top plate, then a visual check should be made
to ensure the two plates are vertically aligned. If there is any doubt as to the alignment of the top and bottom plates, then
the manufacturer, or a qualified technician, should re-align the plate geometry.
NOTE 4 For information, diameters from 8 mm to 25 mm and gap settings from 0,5 mm to 2,0 mm have been found to
be suitable for bituminous binders. In terms of operational ranges, 25 mm plates are generally suitable for stiffnesses in
the range 1 kPa to 100 kPa and 8 mm plates suitable for stiffnesses (|G*|) in the range 100 kPa to 10 MPa. Plates of other
diameters can also be used, providing compliance effects of the instrument are not affecting the results (see 6.1, Note 1)
and the testing is done in the linear region, see 8.
NOTE 5 The fact that the temperature control range is 5 °C to 85 °C should not be taken to imply that accurate results
will necessarily be obtained for all binders over this range (see 5.1, Note 4 and 6.1, Note 1). Also temperatures outside
this range can be used provided results are not affected by machine compliance.

5.2 Moulds, sheet materials or vials, for the preparation of the test specimens. The moulds or sheet
material, where used, shall be of silicone or similar material, which does not adhere to the test specimen. Vials
or containers, where used, shall be of an appropriate material and size for the purpose.
5.3 Oven, ventilated laboratory model, capable of being controlled at temperatures between 50 °C and
200 °C with an accuracy of ± 5 °C.
6 Preparation of rheometers
6.1 Set up
Set up the rheometer in the sequence given in the manufacturer's instructions, including the procedure for the
selecting and setting the correct geometry and gap. Select the appropriate oscillation package, if applicable,
from the software menu. It is essential that the operational limits of stiffness for the selected geometry are
determined.
NOTE 1 The selection of system geometry may affect the accuracy of results. The manufacturer may have determined
the operational limits and this information may be available but, if not, it can be determined by running a test specimen
over a range of test temperatures using all the test geometries likely to be used in practice, and plotting |G*| against either
frequency or phase angle (δ). Where the divergence between the plots for each geometry exceeds 15 %, this is an
indication that compliance effects are affecting one or more of the geometries. The chosen geometry(ies) which shows the
more rapid fall in |G*|, or the lower phase angle, indicates that its accuracy limit has been reached. Also, for most
8
rheometers generally used for this standard, irrespective of geometry chosen, values of |G*| in excess of 10 Pa are likely
to be suspect. Software corrections to the stiffness may be acceptable provided appropriate validation is supplied to the
operator.
NOTE 2 The rheometer and temperature control system should be calibrated at regular intervals in accordance with
the quality assurance procedure of the laboratory. A suitable method is that the rheometer and temperature control system
should be calibrated by a means traceable to a national standard. Also, it is adviseable to verify the accuracy of the
temperature control system by means of a certified temperature measuring device at regular intervals. Also note that
external devices read the accurate temperature value only if they are calibrated correctly. A temperature verification
procedure is described in Annex A.
NOTE 3 The temperature in the test sample may differ from the temperature read by the device if insufficient
equilibration time is used. A procedure for determining equilibration time is described in Annex B.
6.2 Gap setting
Set the gap between the plates prior to loading the test specimen, with both plates at nominally the same
temperature.
NOTE 1 Gap settings within the range 0,5 mm to 2,0 mm have been found to be suitable for bituminous binders over
the temperature range of 5 °C to 85 °C for parallel plate geometries. The gap set will change with temperature and
appropriate steps will need to be taken to account for these changes. If the DSR has an automatic gap compensation
feature, the gap may be set at any temperature within the range to be covered. If the DSR has no gap compensation
feature, the gap should be set at a number of different mid-point temperatures not exceeding 15 °C intervals within the
range to be tested. A suitable means of correcting gap changes for temperatures different from the gap setting
temperature should be reported. One way is to set the gap at each test temperature; another is to apply a software
correction.
Carefully prepare the rheometer plates for receipt of the test specimen, by cleaning with a suitable solvent and
soft cleaning cloth or paper. Do not use metal or any other materials, which may damage the surfaces of the
plates, and take care not to bend the shaft of the upper plate. Set the t
