Tensile Properties
Scope of Application
The Ductility or Elongation is
measured by the distance to
which a sample will elongate
before breaking when two ends
of a specimen briquette are
pulled apart at a specified speed
and at a specified temperature.
It may be used for quality
specifications.

Tensile Properties - Force-Ductilometer Method - DDA 3 (automatic)


Elongation:

Elastic Recovery:

ASTM D 113 - AASHTO T 51 - JIS K2207


DIN 52 013 (IP 32, NF T 66-006)

ASTM D 6084
EN 13398 (DIN V 52 021-1) - IP 516
(ASTM D 5892 - ASTM P 226)

Force-Ductility:

EN 13589 - IP 520
EN 13703 - IP 515 - AASHTO T 300

The Force-Ductility measures


tensile properties on the basis
of the performed force and
the specimen strain.
A specimen briquette is pulled
apart at a specified speed and
at a specified temperature
until the briquette ruptures or a
specified strain is achieved.
The Elastic Recovery is
measured by the recoverable
strain
determined
after
severing an elongated briquette
specimen.
The specimens are pulled to a
specified distance at a specified
speed and at a specified
temperature.
This is useful in confirming that a
material has been added to the
asphalt to provide a significant
elastomeric characteristic.
With the ductility machines of the DDA 3 series
the afore mentioned procedures can be performed
automatically. Except for recovery tests, 3 tests can
be performed simultaneously.
The drive is microprocessor controlled and uses
a stepping motor and a feed rod. Both are located
outside the tempering bath and therefore are not
affected by corroding influences of the bath liquid.
The tempering bath itself is double-walled with an
outer water circulation system.
The tractor cradle is made of stainless steel as well
as the bath walls.
If extremely thin threads are measured, the built-in
circulation pump for the inner bath can be switched
off.
Molds

A very even and exact temperature can be obtained


in the bath by the connection of a good coolant
circulator and due to several temperature probes plus
the transparent bath cover.
Traction speed, elongation and pauses can be preset on the control unit.
During the whole test run the tensile force on each
line is permanently measured. The maximum tensile
force may be up to 300 Newtons per line.

With the DDA 3 a minimum tensile force margin


can be set. When a bitumen briquette ruptures and
the tensile falls below this setting, the pertinent
elongation will be stored and the machine will be
stopped automatically after all three briquettes have
broken.
There is a special program for recovery tests of
polymer-modified bitumen.
The bitumen briquette will be expanded to a pre-set
elongation, then the tractor (after a pause) returns to
a position where no more stress is in the material,
equivalent to the cut-up state of the specimen.
If due to any recovery of the material a tension should
occur, the tractor will move until there is a stress-free
condition again.
The control unit is equipped with two RS232
interface. This allows to connect a serial printer and
a PC to record all test parameters, the final values
on each test line as well as peaks with their pertinent
elongation.
Further, the DDA 3 has analog output sockets so that
force/elongation curves can be drawn.

Temperature Probes

The ductility meters are also available as DD 3 in a


basic version without force measurement.
These models have a digital indication of the
elongation only.

Tensile Properties
DDACon-Software
A program for recording, saving and graphic presentation of DDA values.
Replacing analog line recorder or serial data-printer, allows to control the DDA by PC, the data-transfer to MS
EXCEL or LIMS and simplifies the download of firmware-upgrades.
The sample status of up to 3 samples will be displayed simultaneously, indicating the traction distance or for
Recovery-tests the percentage of relief and the total energy.
Significant points like the local minimum, maximum, turn-points of in- & decreasing flanks and tangent-points
can be determined automatically and displayed as diagram or chart.
The numerical display of force or distance for a single point on the curve is possible, too.
Individual diagram areas can be increased, curves can be hidden or
indicated numerically.
Since every sample will be saved under an individual filename, it is
possible to compare 3 samples of different tests with each other.
The evaluated data can be exported as ASCII-files. They include
information like the sample name, file name, user ID, date & time,
duration, program, speed, temperature at start & end, status and
distance & force.
Printing of numerical or graphic evaluations, including relevant point
like maxima and fracture are possible on a usual printer.

hot-applied, fuel-resistant joint
sealants with or without being
immersed in fuel or oil.

Summary of Method
Penetration is the resistance
which a material under specified
conditions of test provides
against being pierced by a
specifically shaped penetrator.
Beside the configuration of
the penetrator used, prime
importance attaches to such
factors of temperature, time and
load of test as are specified by
the different standard methods
of test.
A sample is filled in a specified
container and conditioned in a
temperature bath.
Then a standardized penetrator
is vertically dropped on the
specimen to measure the
penetration depth.
Higher values of penetration
indicate softer consistency.

The PNR 12 belongs to the group of conventional


gravity-penetrometers used for the determination of
consistency of highly viscous and plastically workable
stuff.
A test body is precisely lowered to the surface of the
material under test, and then sinks into the matter
by its own weight during a defined test duration.
This penetration, which is indicated in Penetration
Units of 1/10 mm per unit or directly in millimeters,
and allows a rating of the plasticity or consistency.

Penetration & Texture


Scope of Application
Used to measure load forces
as well as tensile stresses,
which occur when a test body is
pushed into the tested material
or withdrawn.
Suitable
for
bituminous
materials, hot-applied pavement
sealants & fillers and cement.

Plastic & Elastic Properties - Texture Method - PNR 21


The PNR 21 is a compact but highly flexible texture analyzer, that demonstrates the forces, which occur when
the properly chosen test body is pushed into the tested material or withdrawn.
Especially due to its easy and convenient handling the apparatus allows a quick and economical examination
of the plastic & elastic properties of pasty materials.
PNR 21 Rheotex uses different test bodies. It depends on the measurement problem, whether a needle, a
cone, a cylindrical or platelike ram is applied. These test bodies are mounted to a support-arm with force
sensor which is attached to a vertically movable carriage.
The load or tensile forces, which affect the force sensor, when the carriage moves up or down are indicated
on a computer screen as a force/displacement diagram or as a displacement/time function.

Summary of Method
A texture analyzer measures
the forces, which occur when a
test body is pushed with a preprogrammed speed into the
tested material or pulled out.

The instrument permits to monitor curing


and congealing reactions of adhesives,
mortars etc. or to observe the behaviour
of sealing matter and cements.
The creation of test programs is very
easy.
Either made directly on the instrument
or by using PNRCon software and a PC
with Windows.
The use of a computer does not
only enable a much easier and more
extensive creation of test procedures,
but also allows their storage and
reloading.

The forces affecting the test


body are measured and
indicated in the form of a
displacement/force curve or
as aforce/time function
This allows to determine
information about the aging, the
maturity or the curing, as well
as the estimated subsequent
processing of a sample.

Breaking-Point
Scope of Application
To determine the temperature
at which a bitumen tends to
break rather than to flow when
stressed.
Suitable for any homogeneous
road or industrial bitumen.

Breaking-Point - FRAASS Method - BPA 5 (automatic)


Bitumen and bituminous binders:
IP 80 - EN 12593 (DIN 52 012, NF T 66-026)

- JIS K 2265

Summary of Method
A thin flat steel plaque, coated
with the sample, is flexed
under specified conditions
at a descending series of
temperatures.
The FRAASS-Breaking-Point
is the temperature at which
the first cracks appear in the
coating.

BPA 5 (10-0457)

BPA 5 Bending Mechanism

Easy to Operate
Due to its principle of construction measuring the bending force of a steel plaque coated with the material
to be examined and the use of thermoelectric elements for the cooling of the test chamber, the Automatic
Breaking-Point Tester BPA 5 offers a series of outstanding advantages.
The handling of the BPA 5 is very easy. The operator only needs to place the specimen on the plaque support
and the BPA 5 automatically clamps and adjusts the test plaque.
The large LC-display, visible up to 10 m distance, provides the operator with additional instructions during a
test. When a test is completed, the final result remains on the display until a new measurement is started.
BPACon
Permanent Bending

Versatility

BPACon
Glass Transition Temperature

The scope not only covers the examination of bitumen


according to the conventional FRAASS Method but
also allows the user to adapt the test procedure to
particular conditions (e.g. research of glass transition
temperatures) or to perform a permanent bending
program.

This program, however, requires a PC with BPAConsoftware to remote-control the BPA 5, for storage
and evaluation of the measured data. Thus, test
proceedings (e.g. variation of the bending force) can
be easily watched via a graphic diagram on the PC
screen.

With the Standardized-FRAASS-Test-Method


the instrument detects a distinct variation of the
bending force or a typical deformation of the force/
temperature curve respectively. Just as if the BPA 5
user could look inside the material under test.

For samples with a very low breaking-point a


Rapid-Test-Program is included. It cools with an
accelerated rate of 2 K/min in the beginning and then
changes to the standardized cooling rate during the
actual test period.

These striking force characteristics can even be


recognized with difficult materials (such as certain
kinds of bitumen), where ruptures of the bitumen
coating cannot be observed visually.

In order to avoid unnecessary tests, with


samples where the breaking-point is not known
at all, the SEARCH-Mode, which is preset in
the USER program, can be used beneficially.
The instrument works with a refrigeration rate of
2 K/min and makes a bending test every 2 Kelvin.

In particular with Polymer-modified Bitumen (PmB),


the Permanent-Bending-Program is an interesting
alternative to the conventional FRAASS method. The
sample is cooled to a specified temperature and then
the number of bending strokes is counted which are
necessary to cause a rupture.

20

The BPA 5 also offers the possibility to change


test parameters like bending speed, cooling rate
or bending intervals and to store them as a USERDefined-Program.

Technical Data

Data Output
Although not required, the connection of a serial printer
is recommended.
The user will receive a test result for each flexion or
any other interval (time or temperature according to the
parameters set by the operator).

Printer
Test Chart

BPACon-Software
Most comfortable is the use of the BPA 5 together with a
PC with BPACon-software. This software package (for
Windows) includes the Permanent-Bending-program.
Further it permits to remote control the BPA 5 by PC,
BPACon
to create additional user-defined test programs and to
Standardized
store or reload them from a PC. The measured data can
Test
be easily saved and evaluated on a PC in numerical form
and as well as a graphical diagram.
BPACon is, for instance, mandatory to run Permanent-Bending-Tests or when Glass-TransitionTemperatures are determined, where the trend of the bending force versus the temperature drops and the
recovery trend serves as the criteria for the material under test.

Economical
The BPA 5 is a very economical instrument. It uses Peltier-elements for the refrigeration of the test
chamber. These solid-state cooling elements require a light auxiliary refrigerant only and thus avoid investing
in a bulky and high energy consuming cooler.

Stiffness
Scope of Application
To determine the flexural creep
stiffness of asphalt binders at
low temperatures like ambient
to -36C
Summary of Method
During testing, a constant load
(0 to 450 g) is applied to a
asphalt beam for a selected
duration.
The deflection of the beam
is measured and monitored
continuously by PC.
Further the test parameters
are set by the PC, which
displays & prints a plot of
load vs. deflection and
calculates the stiffness at the
lowest temperature anticipated.
For tests acc. ASTM D 6648
an auxiliary cooler is required
to cool down the molds, so that
the sample is stiff enough to be
demolded without distortion.

a temperature range of +5 to
+80 C.
Summary of Method
For AASHTO MP1 tests a sample
disc is confined between circular
parallel plates and tested at a
specific temperature.
Dynamic shear is determined
by applying a known torque to
oscillate one of the plates and
measuring the resulting strain.
The phase angle, in radiants or
degrees between the sinusoidal
stress & strain, is measured, too.
Resultant stress is measured
in a strain control mode, while
resultant strain in a stress control
mode.

The measurement of the rheological properties, or viscoelastic


behavior, of binder, like range and
degree of stiffness, elasticity, and
relaxation times measured over
the working temperatures, helps
to improve the performance life of
asphalt road systems.
Rheometers measure the rheological data concerning the flow
and the deformation behavior of
substances by:
- Rotational tests for liquids:
Flow curves (shear stress and
shear rate), viscosity function,
yield point, thixotropy (structural
decomposition and regeneration),
temperature behavior.
- Oscillatory tests
for low viscous liquids to solids:
Viscoelastic behavior
as an amplitude sweep as a function
of the deformation or load (or shear
stress); as a frequency sweep
as a function of time (speed or
frequency)
Time-dependent behavior
(thixotropy, structural decomposition
and regeneration)
Temperature-dependent behavior
(glass-transition-temperature,
melting-temperature,
crystallization-temperature)
Jellification and
hardening behavior

A range of research-grade software is available to enable the following tests:


Oscillation as a function of time, temperature, frequency and shear stress
Viscosity as a function of shear rate, shear stress, temperature and time
Creep and Creep Recovery
(for compliance measurement and analysis) including accumulated strain testing.
Time Temperature Superposition and Viscoelastic Analysis

- Creep and relaxation tests


to investigate the viscoelastic
behavior and material structure
(e.g. molar mass distribution) of
polymers

Viscosity
Scope of Application
Used for characterising the
consistency by measuring the
flow properties to determinate
the specific viscosity.
Suitable for tar and their fluid
products.
Summary of Method
The time, in s, is measured
for a fixed volume of liquid
material to flow through an
efflux tube under an accurately
reproducible head and at a
closely controlled temperature.
The Engler specific viscosity is
then calculated by dividing the
efflux time by the viscometer
calibration factor as determined
by making the same efflux
measurement for water.
It does not determine absolute
viscosity, but is an empirical
flow test.

Summary of Method
The time is measured for a fixed volume of the liquid to flow under
gravity through the capillary tube, under an accurately reproducible
head and at a closely controlled temperature.
The kinematic viscosity is then calculated by multiplying the efflux
time in seconds by the viscometer calibration factor.
The dynamic viscosity can be obtaint by multiplying the measured
kinematic viscosity by the density of the liquid.

The flash-point is the lowest


liquid temperature at which
the application of an ignition
source causes the specimen
vapors to ignite.
To determine the fire-point,
the test is continued until the
application of the ignition
source
causes
the
test
specimen to ignite and sustain
burning for a minimum of 5 s.

Summary of Method
Bituminous Material Methods:
The material to be tested is
heated under reflux with a
water-immiscible solvent, which
co-distills with the water in the
sample.
Condensed solvent and water
are continuously separated in
a trap, the water settling in the
graduated section of the trap
and the solvent returning to the
still.
Emulsified Asphalts Methods:
They are determining the
water content of an emulsified
asphalt by reflux distillation,
using a water trap to measure
the amount of water present
in the emulsified asphalt,
as distinguished from either
bitumen or petroleum solvent.

Density, Relative Density - Displacement / Balance Method


(semi-automatic)
Displacement Method:
ASTM D 71 (IP 59-B)
Balance Method:
DIN 51 757-2 (IP 59-A)

Summary of Method
Displacement Method:
The sample is suspended from
a thin wire and weighed, first in
air, then submerged in water at
+25.0 C.
The relative density is calculated
from these weights.
Balance Method:
To determine the density at
test temperature, a balance is
measuring the buoyancy of a
bob suspended from a thin wire
and immersed in a liquid sample
at ambient temperature.
