Bitumen, Tar and Related Products sectional committee, PCD 06

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by the Bitumen, Tar and
Related Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Product Division Council.

A compilation of methods of tests for testing tar and bituminous materials for their characteristicswas published in 1978
(see IS : 1201-1978 to IS : 1220-1978). Later it was felt that it was necessary to establish a method of test for determination
of effect of heat and air on bituminous materials when heated to a standard temperature under specified conditions.
Hence this standard Methods for testing Tar and Bituminous Materials: Determination of effect of heat and air by thin
film oventest was published in 1979.

The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration the views of
producers, consumers and technologists and has related the standard tothe manufacturing and trade practices followed
in the country in this field. Due weightage was also given to the need for international co-ordination among standards
prevailing in different countries of the world. These considerations have led the Sectional Committee to derive assistance
from the publication of American Society for Testing and Materials, Philadelphia.

In this revision all the amendments issued earlier have been incorporated. Suitable tolerances have been incorporated to
the size of the container and the rate of rotation of the perforated metal shelf in the oven mentioned in the standard.

The composition of the Committee, responsible for formulation of this standard is listed in Annex A.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value, observed
or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for
rounding off numerical values (second revision)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value
should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

METHODS FOR TESTING TAR AND BITUMINOUS MATERIALS:
DETERMINATION OF EFFECT OF HEAT AND AIR BY THIN FILM
OVEN TEST
( First Revision )
1 SCOPE
This standard covers determination of the effect of
heat and air on semi-solid bituminous materials by thin
film oven test.
2 TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the following
definition and those given in IS 334 shall apply.
2.2 Effect of Heat and Air
It is the effect of heat and air on bituminous materials
when heatedto a standard temperature under specified
conditions. The amount of hardening is evaluated from
the reduction in penetration expressed as the percentage
of the original value.
3 REFERENCES
The following standards contain provisions, which
through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this standard. At the time of publication, the editions
indicated were valid. Allstandards are subject to revision
and parties to agreements based on this standard are
encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent editions of the standards indicated below:

4 APPARATUS
4.1 Oven
A double walled chamber, rectangular in form, interior
dimensions not being less than 290 mm in height from
the top of the heating element to the top of the chamber
and not less than 300 mm in width and depth. The
chamber is provided on one side with a tightly fitted
hingeddoor containing a double glass window, at least
100 mm square, through which the thermometer may
be read without opening the door. Ventilation of the
oven is provided by means of either oneround vent-
hole in the top and one in the bottom of the oven, or
one round vent-hole near the top and one near the
bottom on each of the two sides of the oven, the
diameter of each vent-hole being 12 mm to 16 mm.
Heating of the oven shall be done electrically and the
temperature is maintained, within the limits specified
for the test.
NOTE — A calibrated thermocouple/ temperature sensor with
digital display may be used in the oven in place of
thermometer.
4.2 Perforated Metal Shelf
A perforated metal shelf, approximately 250 mm in
diameter; and aluminium shelf of the form and
dimensions as shown in Fig. 1 of IS 1212 is
recommended. Theshelf is placed in the centre of the
oven with respect to all dimensions of the interior of
the oven, and is suspended by a vertical shaft and
provided with mechanical means for rotation at the rate
of 5.5 r/min ± 1.0 r/min.
NOTE — Ovens of minimum size accommodate two containers.
For routine or control operations, larger ovens, having
of containers, may be advantageous and are suitable provided
they meet the requisite specification requirements.

4.3 Thermometer
A thermometer graduated in Celsius degrees, and conforming to the following requirements shall be used:

Temperature range 150 °C to 170 °C
Sub-divisions 0.5 °C
Longer graduation lines at each 1 °C
Graduations numbered at 0 °C, 155 °C, 163 °C and 170°C

more than 41 mm above the bottom of the bulb.
4.3.2 The expansion chamber shall permit heating the
thermometer at least 25 °C above highest temperature
on the scale.
4.3.3 At the ice point, the thermometer shall be
graduated from -1 °C to + l °C in 0.5 °C divisions.
4.3.4 The thermometer shall be supported from the
shaft of the metal shelf in a vertical position
approximately 20 mm inside the periphery of the shelf
with the bottom of the bulb 6 mm above the shelf.
4.4 Container
A cylindrical pan, 140 mm ± 1 mm inside diameter and
9.5 mm ± 1.5 mm deep with a flat bottom. This shall
be made of aluminium or stainless steel approximately
0.76 mm and 0.64 mm thick respectively. 50 g of the
sample in this size container give a film thickness of
approximately 3.2 mm.
5.1 Stir and agitate thoroughly the material as
received, warm if necessary, to ensure a complete
mixture before a portion is removed for the test.
5.2 Heat the container in an oven at 100 °C to 110 °C
for 30 min. Cool and weigh. Weigh into the container
50.0 g ± 0.5 g of the material.
If the quantitative value of the mass change is desired,
cool the samples for the oven test toroom temperature
and weigh each sample separately to the nearest
0.001 g. If the mass change isnot required, allow the
samples to cool to room temperature before placing
in the oven.
5.3 At the same time, pour a portion of the sample into
the specified container for determination of
penetration (see IS 1203).
