This standard BS EN 13587:2016 Bitumen and bituminous binders. Determination of the tensile properties of bituminous binders by the tensile test method is classified in these ICS categories:
- 75.140 Waxes, bituminous materials and other petroleum products
- 91.100.50 Binders. Sealing materials
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.
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.
The use of this European Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
