Asphalt and bitumen testing
Testing of asphalt mixtures and bitumen for road construction. Services include coring, density, binder content, grading, penetration, softening point and Marshall testing.
Confirm the test method, sample requirements and applicable accreditation scope before booking.
-
Asphalt Coring Test
Asphalt coring extracts pavement samples for thickness, density and other specified laboratory checks. Sampling locations and reinstatement requirements are agreed before work.
-
Bitumen Ductility Test
Ductility testing measures the distance a prepared bitumen specimen stretches before breaking under specified conditions.
-
Bitumen Extraction Test
Extraction testing determines binder content in an asphalt mixture. The recovered aggregate can be used for the specified grading analysis.
-
Bitumen Penetration Test
Penetration testing measures bitumen consistency under specified temperature, load and time conditions. Results support binder grading and quality checks.
-
Bitumen Softening Point Test
Ring-and-ball testing determines the softening point of bitumen under specified conditions. Results support binder assessment.
-
Bitumen Spray Table Test
Spray table testing assesses the distribution of sprayed bitumen. Results support checks on application uniformity and sprayer setup.
-
Flash and Fire Point Test
Testing determines bitumen flash point and, where required by the selected method, fire point. Results support assessment of handling and heating conditions.
-
Marshall Density Test
Density testing measures the bulk density of compacted asphalt specimens. Results support assessment of compaction and mix properties.
-
Marshall Stability Test
Marshall testing measures the stability and flow of compacted asphalt specimens under specified loading conditions. Results support mix assessment.
-
Skid Resistance Test
Skid resistance testing measures surface friction under specified conditions. The test arrangement and reporting criteria depend on the surface and project requirements.
