DIN EN 12607-
24、1:2015-01EN 12607-1:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 12607 specifies a method for measuring the combined effects of heat and air on a thin moving film of bitumen or bituminous binder simulating the hardening which most bituminous binders undergo during mixing in an asphalt mixing plant. The method
25、 described is not applicable to some modified binders or to those where the viscosity is too high to provide a moving film. In some cases the sample may creep out of the glass container and flow on the heating elements of the oven during testing. The method is suitable for other bituminous binders t
26、han paving grade bitumen, but the reference temperature might give excessive hardening that do not resemble real conditions during mixing at the plant. The method may not represent the hardening that occurs during mixing of warm mix binders. The method is referred to as RTFOT, i.e. Rolling Thin Film
27、 Oven Test. 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 this European Standard to identify the hazards a
28、nd assess the risks involved in performing this test method and to implement sufficient control measures to protect individual operators (and the environment). This includes appropriate safety and health practices and determination of the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. If ther
29、e is a likelihood of volatile components being present in a binder, this procedure should not be used. It should not be used for cutback bitumen or bituminous emulsions before these products have been stabilized, e.g. in accordance with EN 13074-2. 2 Normative references The following documents, in
30、whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

34、nstant supply of air. The effects of heat and air are determined based on the change in mass (expressed as a percentage) or on the change in the bituminous binders characteristics such as penetration according to EN 1426, softening point according to EN 1427 or dynamic viscosity according to EN 1259
35、6 or EN 13302, before and after the period in the oven. The reference temperature of this conditioning is 163 C. 4 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following: 4.1 Oven, rectangular, double-walled and electrically heated. The inside dimensions excluding the air pl
36、enum shall be as follows: height: (340 15) mm; width: (405 15) mm; depth: (445 15) mm. The front door shall contain a symmetrically located window of the following dimensions: width: (320 15) mm; height: (215 15) mm. This window shall contain two sheets of heat resistant glass separated by an air sp
37、ace. The window shall permit an unobstructed view of the interior of the oven. The top of the upper heating element shall be (25 9) mm below the oven floor. The oven shall be ventilated by convection currents of air; the oven shall have air inlets and outlets for the evacuation of hot gases. The air
38、 inlets toward the bottom of the oven shall be located so that the air is able to flow around the heating elements and their total open area shall be (1 500 100) mm2. The outlets for the hot gases evacuation shall be located in the upper part of the oven and their total open area shall be (1 000 100
39、) mm2. The oven shall incorporate an air flow around the side walls and ceiling. The air plenum (between the wall and the sheaths) shall be of uniform thickness (38 3) mm (Figure 1 a). The inside of the oven shall be equipped with a vertical circular aluminium carriage with a diameter of (300 10) mm
40、 (Figure 2 a). The horizontal axis of the circular carriage is located (160 10) mm from the upper inside wall of the oven, excluding the air plenum. The carriage shall be provided with suitable openings and spring clips for firmly holding eight glass containers in a horizontal position (Figure 2 b).
41、 The carriage shall be mechanically driven by a 20 mm diameter shaft and shall make 15 turns within (60 1) s The front surface of the carriage shall be (110 5) mm from the rear inside wall of the oven. On the upper surface and at the midpoint of the width of the oven and (150 5) mm from the front fa
42、ce of the carriage, a squirrel cage-type fan shall be mounted with an outside diameter of (135 5) mm and a thickness of (75 5) mm and turned at (1 725 100) r/min by an externally mounted motor. DIN EN 12607-1:2015-01EN 12607-1:2014 (E) 6 The fan shall be set so that it turns in an opposite direction
43、 to its vanes. The air flow characteristics shall be suction from the floor of the oven then flow along the walls in the sheaths fitted for this purpose and exhaust at the upper surface through the fan (Figure 1 a) and Figure 1 b). The oven shall be equipped with a thermostat capable of maintaining
44、a constant temperature to 0,5 C. The corresponding regulation probe shall be situated on the right side of the oven as described in Figure 1 or symmetrically on the left side. The temperature shall be recorded inside the oven with the reading point (25 5) mm below a horizontal line through the axle
45、of the carriage, (50 5) mm from the inside wall and (115 5) mm from the front face of the carriage. The heating capacity shall be sufficient to bring the oven back to the test temperature within a 10 min period after insertion of the containers. The oven shall be equipped with an air jet positioned
46、to blow heated air into each container at its lowest point of travel. The air jet shall have an outlet orifice with a diameter of (1,0 0,1) mm connected to a copper tubing (see EN 12735-1) with an external diameter of (8,0 0,1) mm and a length of (7,60 0,05) m. This tube shall be coiled to lie flat
47、on the bottom of the oven and lead to a source of oil-free, dried and dust-free air. The orifice of the tubing shall be between 5 mm and 10 mm from the opening in the glass container. The air jet shall blow along the main axis of the glass container. NOTE Activated silica gel treated with an indicat
48、or is a satisfactory desiccant for the air. The performance of the equipment (particularly the motor rotation speed and the fan rotation speed) should be verified and action should be taken if it does not comply with the requirements stated in this method. 4.2 Flow meter, capable of measuring the ai
