METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE BINDING MATERIALS CONTENT OF BITUMINOUS ROAD-MAKING MATERIALS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the binding material content of bituminous building materials, in particular asphalts. In order to be able to analyse specimens having relatively large masses with a comparatively small expenditure of time, the binding material is removed from the specimen by thermal decomposition. The binding material content is then calculated from the loss in weight which the sample undergoes as a result of the thermal decomposition.
