BS EN 12697-43:2014 PDF

What is BS EN 12697-43 - asphalt resistance to fuels about? While bituminous mixes are stable, flexible, and workable; they need to be resistant to fuels in order to remain intact in the long run.  BS EN 12697-43 is the 43 rd part of the ‘bituminous mixtures – test methods for hot mix asphalt’ multi-series. BS EN 12697-43 specifies a test method to determine the resistance of a bituminous mixture or pavement to fuels. The procedure involves the initial soaking of a test specimen made in the laboratory or cored from a pavement in a fuel, followed by a brushing period with a brush test device. The material loss of the specimen is a measure of the resistance to that fuel for that bituminous mixture.
