ISO 1340 Determination of Asphalt Binder Content
The ISO 1340 standard provides a method to determine the asphalt binder content in bituminous binders used for paving, road construction, and other similar applications. This service is crucial for ensuring the quality and performance of asphalt mixtures by accurately quantifying the amount of asphalt binder present.
In this test procedure, the sample undergoes careful preparation, including drying at specific temperatures to remove water content. The dried sample is then subjected to a series of steps that involve burning off the asphalt binder under controlled conditions. The mass loss during these steps directly correlates with the asphalt binder content in the sample.
This service supports various sectors, such as transportation and construction, by ensuring compliance with international standards like ISO 1340. It is particularly important for quality managers and R&D engineers to ensure that the asphalt mixtures meet the required specifications. The test results are critical for compliance officers who need accurate data to maintain regulatory adherence.
The procedure involves several key steps:
- Sample preparation, including sieving if necessary.
- Drying the sample in an oven at 105°C ± 2°C until constant weight is achieved.
- Burning off the asphalt binder under controlled conditions to determine the mass loss.
The accuracy of this test is paramount for ensuring that the asphalt mixtures meet specified performance requirements. The results are used in various applications, from road construction to maintenance and repair projects. This service ensures that the binders used are consistent with international standards and specifications.
