PENETRATION TEST OF BITUMINOUS MATERIAL

The consistency of bituminous material depends upon several factors such as constituents, temperature, etc. at temperature ranges between 250 and 500 C most of the paving bitumen grades remain in semi solid or in plastic states and their viscosity is so high that they do not flow as liquid. The consistency of the bitumen is determined by penetration test, which is very simple test and indirect method also.
