IP 519: Bitumen and bituminous binders - Determination of the tensile properties of bituminous binders by the tensile test method

Overview:

Scope

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of a bituminous binder, in particular those of a polymer modified bitumen, by means of a tensile test.

NOTE The tensile properties, more particularly the tensile stress, the elongation and energy, at the yield point and on fracture, are customarily used as a criterion for assessing the quality of these materials.
