Description
The test is performed to determine and study the physical and mechanical properties of bituminous mixtures. Two mould sizes: 80 and 120 mm dia. All parts are made from steel protected against corrosion.
The specimens have to be temperature conditioned with a suitable climatic chamber (see Climatic chambers, model 10-D1429/B)and the compression test has to be performed with a testing compression machine of minimum 180 kN capacity for compaction and compression, as, for example the \#electromechanical-universal-tester_\#, model 70-S17C2.
Test set for 80 mm dia specimens, consisting of:
77-B0090/A1
80 mm dia. mould
77-B0090/A2
80 mm dia. cylindrical container
77-B0090/A3
80 mm dia. extraction piston
77-B0090/A4
80 mm dia. upper and lower pistons
77-B0090/A6
80 mm dia. upper and lower engraved pistons
77-B0090/A5
80 mm dia. set of two half spacers
Test set for 120 mm dia specimens, consisting of:
77-B0091/A1
120 mm dia. mould
77-B0091/A2
120 mm dia. cylindrical container
77-B0091/A3
120 mm dia. extraction piston
77-B0091/A4
120 mm dia. upper and lower pistons
77-B0091/A6
120 mm dia. upper and lower engraved pistons
77-B0091/A5
120 mm dia. set of two half spacers
Note
The engraved pistons 77-B0090/A6 and 77-B0091/6 are used for cold mixes with bituminous emulsions
