    Stripping Value

    This document summarizes a procedure for determining the stripping value of aggregates by static immersion. The procedure involves heating aggregates and coating them with 5% bitumen or tar binder by weight. The coated aggregates are then immersed in distilled water in a beaker at 40°C for 24 hours. The extent of stripping is then estimated visually by the ratio of uncovered to total aggregate area. The maximum acceptable stripping value is 5%, meaning a minimum of 95% retained coating.

    STRIPPING VALUE OF AGGREGATES.

    ( IS : 6241 – 1959 )

    INTRODUCTION:

    Bitumen and tar adhere well to all normal types of aggregates provided they are dry and are not exceptionally
    dusty. Largely the viscosity of the binder controls the process of binding. When the viscosity of the binder is high,
    coating of aggregates by the binder is slower. In the absence of water there is practically no adhesion problem in
    bituminous road construction. Two problems are observed due to the presence of water. First, if aggregate is wet
    and cool it is normally not possible to coat with a bituminous binder. This problem can be dealt with by removing
    the water film on aggregate by drying, and by increasing the mixing temperature. Second problem is stripping of
    coated binder from the aggregate due to the presence of water. This problem of stripping is experienced only with
    bituminous mixtures, which are permeable to water.

    Object:

    To determine the stripping value of aggregates by static immersion method.

    Apparatus:

    Thermostatically controlled water bath, beaker.

    Procedure:

    This method covers the procedure for determining the stripping value of aggregates by static immersion method,
    when bitumen and tar binder are used. 200gm of dry and clean aggregates passing 20mm IS sieve and retained on
    12.5mm sieve are heated up to 150 0C when these are to be mixed with bitumen and the aggregates are heated up to
    1000C when these are to be mixed with tar. 5% by weight of bitumen / tar binder is heated to 160 0C (1100C in the
    case of tar binder). The aggregate and binder are mixed thoroughly till they are completely coated and the mixture
    is transferred to a 500ml beaker and allowed to cool at room temperature for about two hours. Distilled water is
    then added to immerse the coated aggregates. The beaker is covered and kept in a water bath maintained at 40 0C,
    taking care that the level of water in the water bath is at least half the height of the beaker. After 24 hours the
    beaker is taken out, cooled at room temperature and the extent of stripping is estimated visually while the specimen
    is still under water.

    The stripping value is the ratio of the uncovered area observed visually to the total area of aggregates in each test,
    expressed as a percentage.

    Limits: The maximum stripping value is 5%( i.e., minimum retained coating is 95%).
