EVS-EN 12595:2007

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the kinematic viscosity of bituminous
binders at 60 °C and 135 °C, in a range from 6 mm²/s to 300 000 mm²/s. Bituminous Emulsions are not
covered within the scope of this method.
NOTE Emulsions containing bituminous binders are not considered to be covered by this method. The method can
be used for anhydrous binders obtained from emulsions (stabilised and/or recovered binders).
Results for this method can be used to calculate dynamic viscosity when the density of the test material is
known or can be determined.
WARNING — Use of this European Standard can 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.
