bitumen, conventionally known as acid number.
WARNING — The use of this document may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This
document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
acid number
number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide necessary for the neutralization of the free acids contained
in one gram of bitumen
3.2
equivalence point
stage of the titration procedure at which the added volume (equivalent volume) of titration reagent has
allowed to neutralize the acid compounds of the test sample
Note 1 to entry: In potentiometric titrations, this point corresponds to the inflexion point of the potential curve.
4 Principle
The bitumen is dissolved in a solvent-alcohol mixture. The acidic constituents are titrated using a solution
of alcoholic potassium hydroxide. The titration is monitored by potentiometry.
5 Products and reagents
5.1 General
Only use reagents of a quality recognized for analysis.
5.2 Potassium hydroxide RP (analytical grade), in pellets.
5.3 Propan-2-ol (isopropanol) RP (analytical grade).
4
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17482:2020
CEN/TS 17482:2020 (E)
5.4 Solvent RP (analytical grade), xylene or methyl benzene (toluene).
5.5 Benzoic acid RP (analytical grade).
5.6 Solution of alcoholic potassium hydroxide, 0,1 mol/L.
Dissolve (6,0 ± 0,2) g of potassium hydroxide pellets (5.2) in 1 L of pure propan-2-ol (5.3).
A ready-for-use, off-the-shelf solution can also be used. Only a titration certificate coming from an
authorized supplier can avoid the titration procedure (9.1). The alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution
shall be kept in brown glass containers and stored in the dark.
6 Apparatus
6.1 General
Usual laboratory equipment, together with the following.
6.2 Balance of adequate capacity for weight with precision of ± 1 mg.
6.3 Potentiometry apparatus, for automatic or manual titration:
— apparatus for automatic titration, including a titration device with sensitivity of at least 2 mV,
equipped with an automatic dosage unit with a capacity of 5 mL to 20 mL. Most of these pieces of
equipment offer a program for potentiometric detection with dynamic equivalence point titration. It
means that increment is slowed down near the equivalence point;
— apparatus for manual titration, including a potentiometer with a sensitivity of at least 2 mV and a
burette with a pointed spout.
The equipment shall allow titration steps to be performed at an accuracy of at least ± 0,05 mL in volume.
6.4 Glass combination electrode – Ag/AgCl.
6.4.1 A pH glass electrode for non-aqueous media and a reference electrode of Ag/AgCl (kept in its
inner reference electrolyte).
6.4.2 Combined pH electrode for non-aqueous media instead of the two electrodes cell of 6.4.1.
6.5 Glass beakers, or any glass titration container, specific for the automatic potentiometric titration
device (6.3).
The volume of beakers shall be appropriate for immersing the membrane of electrodes into the tested
solution and shall allow increasing this volume during titration.
The level of solution in the beaker shall be below the filling hole of the electrodes but has to be high
enough to prevent the stirring bar (if it is necessary to use it) from hitting the membranes if the electrodes
have to be close to the bottom of the beaker.
6.6 Magnetic stirrer, with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated bar.
7 Sampling
Take the sample in accordance with EN 58. Prepare the test samples in accordance with EN 12594.
