Bituminous mixtures - Test methods - Part 2: Determination of particle size distribution; German version EN 12697-2:2015
Asphalt - Prüfverfahren - Teil 2: Korngrößenverteilung; Deutsche Fassung EN 12697-2:2015
Overview
This European Standard specifies a procedure for the determination of the particle size distribution of the aggregates of bituminous mixtures by sieving. The test is applicable to aggregates recovered after binder extraction in accordance with EN 12697-1 or EN 12697-39. The applicability of this European Standard is described in the product standards for bituminous mixtures. Fibres, solid (non-soluble during extraction) additives and (some) binder modifiers influence the test result. This document (EN 12697-2:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 227 "Bituminous mixtures", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. The responsible mirror committee responsible at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau) is NA 005-10-10 AA "Asphalt (SpA zu CEN/TC 227/WG 1) Gemeinschaftsausschuss mit FGSV" ("Bituminous mixtures (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 227/WG 1) Joint committee with FGSV").
