Public test guide

Bitumen-rubber ball penetration and resilience

Measures indentation and elastic recovery characteristics of a bitumen-rubber blend.

Plain-language explanation

What the test tells you.

The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.

01

What it is

A standard ball or probe is applied to conditioned material under the specified loading and recovery sequence.

02

What is used

Prepared bitumen-rubber sample, controlled-temperature setup and the specified penetration/resilience apparatus.

03

What it determines

Penetration and rebound or recovery response under controlled conditions.

04

Why it matters

Supports quality control and comparison of bitumen-rubber binder consistency and elasticity.

Typical test sequence

From sample
to result.

  1. 01

    Prepare and condition the blend

  2. 02

    Apply the specified penetration loading

  3. 03

    Measure penetration and recovery/resilience
