This European S
16、tandard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the eleme
17、nts 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 document supersedes EN 13357:2002. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European F
18、ree Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 89/106/EEC. This European Standard EN 12846 consists of the following parts under the general title Bitumen and bituminous binders Determination of efflux time by the efflux viscometer: Part 1: Bituminous emulsions; Part 2: C
19、ut-back and fluxed bituminous binders. EN 12846-2 has been created as the result of the merging of EN 12846:2002 and EN 13357:2002 under a single EN 12846 reference (two different parts), since both standards describe very similar procedures with identical equipment. The two different parts have bee
20、n made as consistent as possible by eliminating all existing minor differences between both methods. Compared with EN 13357:2002, test temperatures were detailed in the scope, a restriction was added in the principle, tolerances were specified or modified in the apparatus dimensions, details were ad
21、ded in the test procedure and measurements made and the precision data were reviewed. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech R
22、epublic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

27、lassware Graduated measuring cylinders (ISO 4788:2005) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 viscosity internal resistance of a fluid to flow 3.2 efflux time time needed for a specified volume of a material to flow through a specifi
28、ed orifice at a specified temperature NOTE The efflux time is an indirect measure for viscosity and is referred to as “pseudo-viscosity”. 4 Principle The efflux time of a petroleum cut-back or fluxed bituminous binder is determined using an efflux viscometer known as the Standard Tar Viscometer (STV
29、) which determines the time of efflux of a 50 ml sample through a 4 mm or a 10 mm orifice at a specified temperature. Whatever temperatures or orifice diameters used, the efflux time shall not exceed 600 s. For highly viscous cut-back or fluxed bituminous binders, EN 13302 shall be used. DIN EN 1284
30、6-2:2011-05 EN 12846-2:2011 (E) 5 5 Reagents and materials 5.1 Light mineral oil. Light mineral oil having a viscosity equal or lower than 7 mm2/s at 40 C shall be used. 6 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following: 6.1 Efflux viscometer (see an example of viscom
31、eter on Figure 1) consisting essentially of a cup with an orifice in the centre of the base which may be closed by a ball-and-socket valve (see Figure 2). Two forms are required, differing only in the size of the orifice (10 mm and 4 mm). For other dimensions of the cup and the ball-valve, see Figur
32、e 3. The cup cylinder shall be made of brass. The ball valve should be made of corrosion-resistant metal, with a ball on a rod, a levelling peg attached to the rod and a hemispherical top by means of which the valve may be supported in a vertical position. The viscometer cups shall be provided with
33、suitable corks or caps for closing the orifices with the ball valve in position, and some means of covering the cups (e.g. lids) to minimize surface cooling effects. The viscometer-cup holder shall be capable of: supporting one or more cups in a vertical position; providing a valve support to hold t
34、he valve at least 16 mm vertically above the orifice of the cup during efflux of the test material. NOTE 1 To enhance resistance to wear and corrosion of the ball and socket valve, the bottom of the cup may be made from a different, corrosion resistant, material and screwed to the brass tube. It is
35、then advised to use the same material, such as for instance phosphor-bronze, for the cup bottom and the ball valve. Wrought nickel alloy with copper or metals NiCu30 in accordance with ISO 9722 are possible materials for the rod of the ball valve. NOTE 2 The viscometer cup should be provided with a
36、lid suitable for closing the upper end of the cup without touching the test material when the cup is filled. This lid is provided with a central hole through which the thermometer can pass and with a groove on one side through which the rod of the valve can pass. 6.2 Viscometer water-bath, constant
37、temperature for maintaining the test temperature to within 0,5 C. A typical elevation and a plan of assembled viscometer is given in Figure 1. 6.3 Temperature controlled water bath. A water bath, maintained at (25,0 0,5) C, in which one or more of the filled viscometer cups can be immersed up to the
38、 rim of the cup. NOTE 1 Alternative test temperatures are (40,0 0,5) C, (50,0 0,5) C and (60,0 0,5) C (see 8.3.1, 3), 4) and 5). If a multiple-cup heating bath is used, the cups shall be separated from each other and from the walls of the bath by at least 55 mm. A suitable support shall be provided
39、to maintain the cup(s) in a vertical position. NOTE 2 The viscometer water bath (6.2) may also be used to directly condition the test sample in the cup. 6.4 Thermometers, two, conforming to the requirements described in Annex A. Other temperature measuring devices may be used instead of mercury stem
40、 thermometers. However, the mercury stem thermometer is the reference device. Therefore any alternative device employed shall be DIN EN 12846-2:2011-05 EN 12846-2:2011 (E) 6 calibrated so as to provide the same readings as would be provided by the mercury stem thermometer, recognising and allowing f
41、or the fact of changed thermal response times compared with the mercury thermometer. When measuring and controlling nominally constant temperatures, as in this test method, alternative devices can indicate greater cyclic variations than mercury thermometers, to an extent depending on the cycle time
42、of heating and the power of the controlled heat input. 6.5 Receiver, consisting of a 100 ml cylinder with graduations at 20 ml, 25 ml and 75 ml, complying with the requirements of EN ISO 4788. 6.6 Timing device, capable of measuring the efflux time with an accuracy of 0,2 s. 7 Sampling The material
43、under test shall be sampled in accordance with EN 58 and prepared in accordance with EN 12594. NOTE A viscometer cup with hot bitumen should not be plunged into cool water as this shock cooling will radically effect the viscosity result. The test shall be carried out in duplicate. 8 Procedure 8.1 Ge
44、neral Carry out the procedure in laboratory at room temperature between 18 C to 28 C 8.2 Preparation of apparatus Clean the viscometer cup (6.1) with a suitable solvent, to remove any mark of binder, and thoroughly dry it to remove all traces of solvent. If necessary, rub the interior of the cup and
45、/or clean the orifice. Use soft tissue-paper or some similar material that will not leave particles behind or abrade the metal. When cleaning, care shall be taken not to damage the orifice. 8.3 Measurement 8.3.1 If the efflux time is unknown, measure it at 25 C with the 10 mm orifice viscometer cup.
46、 According to the efflux time obtained, 5 main cases are possible. Choose the diameter of the orifice of the cup and the temperature of the test as follows. 1) If the efflux time is lower than 5 s, perform another determination at 25 C with 4 mm orifice. 2) If the efflux time is between 5 s and 600
47、s with still a continuous flow, no change in the experimental conditions (25 C with 10 mm orifice) is necessary. 3) In case of a non continuous flow or if the efflux time is greater than 600 s, perform another determination at 40 C with the 10 mm orifice. 4) In case of a non continuous flow or if th
48、e efflux time determined at 40 C is greater than 600 s, perform another determination at 50 C with the 10 mm orifice. DIN EN 12846-2:2011-05 EN 12846-2:2011 (E) 7 5) In case of a non continuous flow or if the efflux time determined at 50 C is greater than 600 s, perform another determination at 60 C
49、 with the 10 mm orifice. Table 1 Temperature up to 40 C and diameter of the cup 25 C 10 mm If t 600 s or non-continuous flow T = 25 C = 4 mm T = 25 C = 10 mm T = 40 C (see 4) and 5) if necessary) = 10 mm For highly viscous cut-back or fluxed bituminous binders having efflux time at 60 C with the 10 mm orifice higher than 600 s, test shall be performed by means of dynamic viscosity measurement (EN 13302). 8.3.2
