Bitumen emulsion test apparatus
Bitumen emulsion is a mixture of fine droplets of bitumen and water. Different tests can be done to evaluate the bitumen emulsion quality, depending which parameter has to be checked.
Residue by Evaporation Test
The purpose of this test method is to determine the bitumen content of emulsion bitumen by evaporating water and weighting the residue of the test.
Apparatus
Three beakers with the glass rod
Oven
Saybolt Viscosity Test
Emulsion bitumen viscosity test determines how much bitumen resists flow. It shows whether the bitumen moves easily or not.
Apparatus
Saybolt viscometer
Storage Stability Test
This test shows how much emulsion bitumen has the ability to remain uniform when stored. It helps us to understand the storage time of emulsion before it expires.
Apparatus
Distillation Test
The proportion of bitumen and volatile components in the bitumen emulsion is determined by the bitumen emulsion distillation test.
It also measures the amount of volatile components leaving the bitumen emulsion mixture at certain temperatures. The remaining bitumen from this test is tested for density, penetration, ductility, and solubility tests of bitumen emulsion.
Apparatus
Particle Charge Tester
This apparatus is used to identify the particle charge of bitumen emulsions, that is, the types of cations and anions.
