Determining Density Characteristics of Bitumen for Mix Design and Quality Control

Specific Gravity Test of Bitumen is conducted to determine the ratio of the weight of a given volume of bitumen to the weight of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature. Specific gravity is a fundamental physical property used in bituminous mix design, quality control, and volume–weight relationship calculations.

Why Specific GravityMatters.

Supports Accurate Bituminous Mix Design

Specific gravity is essential for calculating volumetric properties such as voids, VMA, and VFB in Marshall and Superpave mix designs.

Ensures Consistency of Bitumen Quality

Testing helps verify uniformity between batches and detect variations that may affect asphalt performance.

Assists in Material Quantity and Volume Calculations

Accurate density values are required for converting weight-based measurements into volume-based quantities during mix proportioning.

Ensures Compliance With Standards and Specifications

The test verifies conformity with IS standards and MoRTH specifications, enabling acceptance for road and highway construction works.
