This European Standard specifies a method for measuring the cohesion of bituminous binders at temperatures in
the range of (-10°C) to (+80°C) and for expressing the relationship between cohesion and temperature.
This method is applicable for pure bitumen, modified bitumen and fluxed bitumen; in the case of fluxed bitumen, the
test can be performed on the binder containing fluxant or on binder from which the solvent has been removed. For
bitumen emulsions, the test is carried out on the residual binder obtained after recovery and the method used to
recover the binder should be reported.
