BS EN 1367-5:2011 Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates. Determination of resistance to thermal shock
Publication Year
2011
Document Status
Current
Abstract
This standard outlines methods for determining the resistance of aggregates to thermal shock when subjected to heating and drying, particularly for use in hot bituminous mixtures. The document specifies a reference method for type testing and resolving disputes, while also allowing alternative methods for factory production control if validated against the reference method. Key terms, such as thermal shock, test specimen, and constant mass, are defined to ensure clarity. The procedure involves heating test specimens to 700 °C, measuring fragmentation resistance in line with EN 1097-2, and calculating material loss due to thermal shock.
