This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the dynamic viscosity of bituminous binders by means of a vacuum capillary viscometer at 60 ï‚°C in a range between 0,003 6 Pa s to over 580 000 Pa s. Bituminous Emulsions are not within the scope of this method.NOTE 1: Emulsions containing bituminous binders are not considered to be covered by this method. This method can be used for anhydrous binders obtained from emulsions (stabilised and/or recovered binders).NOTE 2: The viscosity behaviour of some polymer modified bitumens (PMB) is not demonstrated in a vacuum capillary viscometer. Other methods are more relevant.WARNING: Use of this Eu
