PROCEDURE FOR BOILING TEST
(STRIPPING TEST)

1. Take a homogeneous sample of aggregates through quartering;

2. Divide the aggregates using sieves and take the fraction 8/11mm;
3. Wash 1 Kg of these aggregates to remove the dust and the filler;
4. Put the washed aggregates in oven at 155°C (5°C more than the mixing temperature)
for 2 hours (until the aggregates become dry and reach the temperature);
5. Put the bitumen in oven at the same temperature of the aggregates;
6. After 2 hours take out the aggregates from the oven and weigh a sample of 200 g;
7. Take the bitumen from the oven, weigh almost 100g and add 0,3% (or the
recommended rate) of the antistripping agent on the bitumen weight (0,3g if the
bitumen weight is 100g);
8. Add 4,2g (2,1% on the aggregates weight) of the bitumen modified at the
aggregates; (use the same quantity also for the bitumen without antistripping
agent);
9. Mix energically until the aggregates become completely covered by the bitumen.
10. Put the mix on a piece of oiled paper and wait until it becomes cold;
11. Take a beaker of about 1 liter;

12. Fill the beaker with water (800 ml), put it on a

hot plate and wait until the water boils;
13. Put the mix inside a net that should have the
dimension as in the picture and put it inside the
beaker when the water is boiling;
14. Lay the mix inside the boiling water for 10
minutes;
15. After 10 minutes take out the mix, and put it on a
piece of oiled paper;
16. When the mix will be dry, make a visual analysis
about the covering of the aggregates;
17. Express the covering in percent, using step of
about 5%;
