About this document

Bitumen Penetration and Softening Tests by Hassan Mohsen is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes procedures for determining the penetration and softening point of bituminous materials, which are measures of consistency. For the penetration test, a sample is cooled under controlled conditions then a needle is applied to the surface and the depth of penetration measured. For the softening point test, disks of the material are heated in rings at a controlled rate while supporting balls, and the temperature at which the balls fall a set distance is recorded. Both tests are important
