17、 12607-2:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 336 “Bituminous binders”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2015 and con
18、flicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This documen
19、t supersedes EN 12607-2:2007. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. In comparison with EN 12607-2:2007, the following significant changes have been made: changed/added wording of the Warning in the Scope; EN 1
20、2595, Bitumen and bituminous binders Determination of kinematic viscosity has been added to Clause 2; the reference to mercury thermometer has been deleted (see subclause 4.2) and Annex A is informative. EN 12607 consists of the following parts under the general title “Bitumen and bituminous binders
21、 Determination of the resistance to hardening under the influence of heat and air”: Part 1: RTFOT method; Part 2: TFOT method; Part 3: RFT method. The scope of this standard has been enlarged by adding oxidized bitumens and hard industrial bitumens that are not used for paving applications. The reas
22、on is to facilitate that EN 13303, Bitumen and bituminous binders Determination of the loss of mass after heating of industrial bitumen can be replaced in product standards by EN 12607-2 at the next revision of EN 13303. It is to be noted that this if so decided will change the property from loss in
23、 mass into change in mass in EN 13304, Bitumen and bituminous binders Framework for specification of oxidized bitumens and in EN 13305, Bitumen and bituminous binders Framework for specification of hard industrial bitumens. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards or
24、ganizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembour

DIN EN 12607-2:2015-01 EN 12607-2:2014 (E) 41 Scope This part of EN 12607 specifies a method for measuring the combined effects of heat and air on a film of bitume
26、n or bituminous binder, simulating the hardening which most bituminous binders undergo during mixing in an asphalt mixing plant. The method is suitable for other bituminous binders than paving grade bitumen, but the reference temperature might give excessive hardening that does not resemble real con
27、ditions during mixing at the plant. The method may not represent the hardening that occurs during mixing of warm mix binders. Additionally, this part of EN 12607 specifies a method for the determination of the change in mass of oxidized bitumens and hard industrial bitumens after heating. The method
28、 is used to detect volatile components. The method is referred to as TFOT, i.e. Thin Film 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.
29、 It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to identify the hazards and 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 practic
30、es and determination of the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. If there is a likelihood of volatile components being present in a binder, this procedure should not be used. It should not be used for cut-back bitumen or bituminous emulsions before these products have been stabilize
31、d, e.g. in accordance with EN 13074-2. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the r
32、eferenced document (including any amendments) applies.

33、 bituminous binders - Determination of kinematic viscosity 3 Principle A film of bituminous binder is heated in an oven at a specified temperature for a given period of time. For bituminous binders for paving applications, the effects of heat and air are determined based on the change in mass (expre
34、ssed as a percentage) and on the change in the bituminous binders properties such as kinematic viscosity according to EN 12595, before and after the period in the oven. For bituminous binders for industrial applications, the combined effects of heat and air and loss of volatiles are determined based
35、 on the change in mass (expressed as a percentage). This will be the value from this conditioning method that will be utilized in EN 13304 and EN 13305 as loss in mass (change in sign). NOTE Penetration according to EN 1426 and softening point according to EN 1427 can be measured on harder grades be
36、fore and after oven treatment at 163 C. DIN EN 12607-2:2015-01 EN 12607-2:2014 (E) 5 4 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following: 4.1 Oven, electrically heated and conforming to the performance requirements indicated in Table 1 for operating temperatures up to 1
37、80 C. The oven shall be rectangular with a minimum interior height, width and depth of 330 mm. The front door shall be hinged and tightly fitted, and have a clear opening of the same height and width as the interior of the oven. The window on the door shall be at least 100 mm by 100 mm, with two she
38、ets of glass separated by an air space. The window shall permit an unobstructed view of the interior of the oven so that the control thermometer, located as specified in 6.1 may be read without opening the door. NOTE 1 The oven can alternatively be provided with an inner glass door through which the
39、 thermometer can be read upon opening the outer door momentarily. The oven shall be ventilated by convection currents of air; the oven shall have air inlets and outlets evacuating hot gases meeting the requirements of Table 1. NOTE 2 These inlets and outlets can be of different size and arrangement
40、provided the requirements in Table 1 are met. Table 1 Performance requirements for Thin Film Oven Characteristics Requirements Deviation from a specified test temperature throughout the testing chamber during a 24 h period for the differential between ambient and test temperature, when more than 50
41、C, maximum, % of differential 5 Time constant, maximum, s 720 Rate of ventilation of testing chamber, air changes per h, minimum 10 NOTE 3 These performance requirements are extracted from ASTM E145, type IB (gravity convection ventilated oven). The oven shall be provided with a metal circular shelf
42、 with a minimum diameter of 250 mm. The shelf shall provide a flat surface to support the containers without blocking all air circulation through the shelf when the containers are in place. The shelf shall be suspended by a vertical shaft and centred with respect to the horizontal interior of the ov
43、en. The shelf shall be mechanically driven to rotate at the rate of (5,5 1,0) r/min. The shelf shall be vertically located as close to the centre of the oven as allowed by the requirements of 6.1 regarding thermometer placement. Minimum size ovens allow the use of two containers. Larger ovens, havin
44、g proportionally larger shelves to accommodate a greater number of containers can be suitable. Under no circumstances should more than one shelf, properly centred, be used in an oven. 4.2 Temperature measuring device. A temperature measuring device (combining sensor and reading unit) shall have a ra
45、nge from at least 110 C to 170 C, be readable to 0,1 C or less and, have an accuracy of 0,5 C or better. DIN EN 12607-2:2015-01 EN 12607-2:2014 (E) 6Sensors based on platinum resistance thermometers have been found suitable but other principles are also allowed. The thermal response time of the sens
46、or shall be comparable with the former used reference (see informative Annex A). The temperature measuring device shall 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
47、 its use. When measuring and controlling nominally constant temperatures as in this test method, the thermal response time can be rather high (e.g. slow response to a change in temperature). Care shall be taken to consider this aspect since low thermal response times of the sensor can indicate great
48、er cyclic variations than the bituminous material in practise. 4.3 Container, (in which the sample of bituminous binder is subjected to the test), cylindrical pan (140 1) mm in inside diameter and (9,5 0,5) mm deep with a flat bottom, stainless steel or aluminium, with a thickness of (0,6 0,1) mm to
49、 (1,0 0,1) mm. NOTE 1 50 ml of sample in this container will give a film thickness of approximately 3,2 mm. NOTE 2 Containers have a tendency to become warped or bent with use. Although a small amount of warping does not significantly affect results, it is advisable to eliminate damaged pans. 4.4 Balance, accurate to 10 mg, readable to 1 mg. 5 Sampling 5.1 General Make sure that the laboratory sample is homogeneous and is not contaminated according to EN 1425. Take all necessary safety precau
