This document supersedes EN 1427:2007. This European Standard shall be given the status
18、of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subjec
19、t of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The major changes in comparison to EN 1427:2007 are: mercury thermometer is no longer the normative reference thermometer (see 6.1.7); the description of establishing the temperature g
20、radient has been improved (see 8.6); it is recognised that it is difficult to establish the temperature gradient homogeneously in the bath (6.1.6) in the temperature range from 30 C till 60 C when glycerol is used as bath liquid. A new procedure requires the gradient to be met from 60 C. An informat
21、ive Annex B with examples of valid and invalid temperature gradients has been added for clarification. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia
22、, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
23、United Kingdom. DIN EN 1427:2015-09 EN 1427:2015 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the softening point of bitumen and bituminous binders in the range of 28 C to 150 C. Technical warning - The change from mercury thermometers to electronic temperature de
24、vices has revealed that the temperature definition in the mercury thermometer has not been precise enough to make a correct, unbiased transfer to electronic devices. Care should be taken for softening points ring and ball above 100 C as the condition may have changed from previous practise to presen
25、t days testing equipment. Below approx. 100 C the difference in temperature readings between electronic and mercury stem thermometer is acceptable compared to the repeatability of this test methods. Reference: ASTM E20 Group NOTE The method described is also applicable to bituminous binders that hav
26、e been recovered from bituminous mixes, e.g. by extraction. WARNING Use of this European Standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of
27、this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its applicati
28、on. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

30、ng point temperature at which material under standardised test conditions attains a specific consistency 4 Principle Two horizontal discs of bituminous binder, cast in shouldered brass rings shall be heated at a controlled rate in a liquid bath while each supports a steel ball. The softening point s
31、hall be reported as the mean of the temperatures at which the two discs soften enough to allow each ball, enveloped in bituminous binder, to fall a distance of (25,0 0,4) mm. 5 Reagents and materials 5.1 General Use only reagents of specified analytical grade and water conforming to grade 3 of EN IS
32、O 3696:1995 unless otherwise specified. DIN EN 1427:2015-09 EN 1427:2015 (E) 5 5.2 Bath liquid 5.2.1 Distilled or deionized water The use of freshly boiled, cooled, distilled or deionized water is essential to avoid trapping air bubbles on the surface of the test sample, which can affect the results
33、. 5.2.2 Glycerol, with a density (1 250 10) kg/m3at 20 C, with a 99 % mass fraction purity. WARNING Glycerol has a flash point of 160 C, measured in accordance with EN ISO 2592. In temperatures above 100 C, as glycerol may contain water due to hygroscopic properties, glycerol may splash on the heati
34、ng elements and ignite. 5.3 Release agent, mixture of glycerol and dextrin or mineral talc, or another commercially available release agent. To prevent the bituminous binder adhering to the pouring plate when casting discs, the surface of the metal pouring plate shall be thinly coated just before us
35、e with the release agent. NOTE 1 Applying the release agent coating is easier when the plate is warmed to approximately 40 C. NOTE 2 Instead of a release agent, other materials, e.g. baking paper, can be used. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Ring and Ball apparatus, NOTE Either manual, semi-automatic or automatic,
36、comprising the elements given in 6.1.1 to 6.1.9. 6.1.1 Rings, two, square-shouldered, in brass and conforming to the dimensions shown in Figure 1 6.1.2 Pouring plate, flat, smooth, metal, approximately 50 mm 75 mm and 1,5 mm to 2,0 mm thick with the edges turned down (see Figure 2). 6.1.3 Balls, sta

41、C or less and have an accuracy of 0,3 C or better. A temperature measuring device (combining sensor and reading unit) shall for determination in glycerol: have a range from at least 30 C to 155 C; be readable to 0,5 C or less and have an accuracy of 0,3 C or better. Sensors based on platinum resista
42、nce thermometers cast in glass of the approximate dimension mentioned in Annex A have been found suitable but other principles are also allowed. The thermal response time of the sensor shall be comparable with the former used reference (see informative Annex A). The temperature-measuring device shal
43、l be calibrated regularly. A solid stem mercury thermometer (which used to be the former reference thermometer as described in Annex A) is also allowed if national regulations permit its use. 6.1.7.2 The appropriate temperature sensor shall be suspended in the assembly as shown in Figure 5 so that t
44、he bottom of the temperature registering part is level with the bottom of the rings and within 13 mm of the rings, but not touching the rings or the ring holder. For the method described in which increasing temperatures are read during the test procedure, documented corrections should be determined
45、in advance and applied to the observed readings. 6.1.8 Stirrer, propeller stirrer which operates smoothly or a magnetic stirrer/hot plate with suitably coated stirring bar of length approximately 40 mm and diameter 8 mm to ensure uniform heat distribution throughout the bath and to avoid turbulent f
46、low throughout the bath. The stirrer shall be placed so that it does not disturb the samples when the test is in operation. The rotation speed of the stirring bar shall be approximately 100 r/min. The stirrer blade of the propeller stirrer should preferably be placed at a level between the bottom pl
47、ate of the assembly and the bottom of the beaker (see Figure 5). WARNING If the propeller stirrer is electrically driven, ensure that it is safely earthed. 6.1.9 Semi-automatic or automatic equipment Instead of the apparatus described in 6.1.1 to 6.1.8, a semi-automatic or automatic apparatus may be
48、 used (after it has been calibrated). The results obtained shall be the same as with the manual method and shall be within the precision of the manual method. In case of doubt, the referee method shall be the manual one with the apparatus as shown in Figure 5. NOTE When using an automatic apparatus, it is possible for the ball to trigger the interruption of a ray of light at a distance of (25,0 0,4) mm below the underside of the ring, rather than the ball touching the bottom plate. 6.
