Bitumen Penetration 40/50

BITUMEN PENETRATION 40/50

Bitumen Penetration 40/50 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Penetration Grade bitumens are specified by the penetration and softening point test. Designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumens have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen.

USAGE OF ASPHALT 40/50

Pure petroleum grade bitumen, produced from a vacuum bottom by the passage of hot air, is what makes up the penetration grade Bitumen Penetration 40/50 that our company supplies. After being cracked and the hydrocarbons were removed, the bitumen that we supply is made from the leftover crude oil. Bitumen with a penetration grade of 40/50 has a softening point of 52–60°C and a penetration range of 40–50 desi-millimeters. The thermoplastic quality of penetration grade bitumen 40/50 makes it similar to a synthetic resin material that softens when heated and hardens when cooled. Compared to other grades, this bitumen 40/50 grade has a relatively strong viscosity. Bitumen 40/50 is appropriate for asphalt pavements with outstanding qualities and for building roads. This kind of bitumen is used to create hot mix asphalt, which is mostly utilized on roads in tropical areas for bases and wearing courses. In bitumen producing facilities, the bitumen is supplied during the vacuum bottom oxidation presses. It is employed in tropical regions with warm temperatures because of its strong air blowing and penetrating capabilities. High temperatures do not cause it to soften and it maintains its properties. It has a typical penetration grade and is a type of bitumen. This sort of bitumen is petroleum grade and is produced from crude oil that has been fractionated and vacuum-transported. The vacuum residual (short residue) feedstock is used to generate the bitumen that is provided in the petroleum plant. The penetration and softening point test is used to define penetration grade bitumens. Classification is based only on penetrating range. The thermoplastic feature of the penetration grade bitumens makes the substance soften at high temperatures and firm at low temperatures.

APPLICATION OF BITUMEN 40/50

Bitumen Penetration 40/50 is suitable for road construction and for the asphalt pavements with superior properties. This type of bitumen used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses and the main usage of this product is used in the road at tropical regions. the bitumen is provided during the presses of oxidation of vacuum bottom in bitumen production units. Due to its high air blowing and penetration, it is used in tropical areas with the Warm weather. It is not softened at high temperature and does not fail its qualities.

BITUMEN PENETRATION 40/50 PRICE

The price for the Bitumen Penetration 40/50 is different all around the world. You can hardly find different specifications of bitumen at the same price. Refineries use the same method for producing bitumen more or less but since the oil used for the production comes from different bases, the specifications have always some minor differences. This makes each bitumen somehow unique and recognizable. Bitumen Penetration 40/50 is a standard Penetration Grade of Bitumen ASTM D946M. It is typically utilized as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, particularly in road and airport construction as well as other applications that are comparable. The production of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses is where this grade of bitumen sees the majority of its application. Penetration Grades of Bitumen are created from Vacuum Residue, which is then blasted by hot in the blowing unit. The completely automated process runs constantly, which results in a finished product quality that is consistent and uniform. Bitumen can be obtained in any grade, and the two numbers that designate it represent the spots in their penetration ranges that are in the middle of their respective ranges. The thermoplastic property of the penetration grade bitumen causes the material to soften at higher temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This effect is reversed when the substance is cooled. When determining the performance parameters of bitumen, such as its adhesion, rheology, durability, and application temperatures, it is essential to take into account the one-of-a-kind link that exists between temperature and viscosity. We Company assure the quality of bitumen penetration grade 40/50 by appointing an international inspector to examine the quality and quantity of bitumen penetration grade 40/50 during vessel loading and managing production by QC by batch test report prior to shipping. We guarantee the quality to meet ASTM requirements. Be sure that Bitumen Grade 40/50 is produced in compliance with and adheres to International Standards such as AASHTO M20-70 & ASTM D946 in addition to satisfying the following specification standards.

PENETRATION 40/50 ADVANTAGES

Bitumen Penetration 40/50 is a thermoplastic material, which means that when it is subjected to high temperatures, it will become more flexible, and when it is exposed to cold temperatures, it will become more rigid. The kind of crude oil that is refined into bitumen as well as the refining process itself are both potential factors that might have an effect on the manner in which bitumen behaves in terms of temperature and stiffness. Maintaining equilibrium in the surrounding environment. A lifespan that is much longer than the typical one for the product. Extraordinarily strong adhesion to the great majority of different kinds of materials in their diverse forms.

THE 4 MAJOR TEST OF BITUMEN 40/50

1.Penetration test: It measures the hardness or softness of Bitumen by measuring the depth in tenths of a millimeter to which a standard loaded needle will penetrate vertically in 5 seconds. BIS had standardised the equipment and test procedure. A grade of 40/50 bitumen means the penetration value is in the range 40 to 50 at standard test conditions. In hot climates, a lower penetration grade is preferred.

2.Softening Point Test: Softening point denotes the temperature at which the bitumen attains a particular degree of softening under the specifications of test. The test is conducted by using Ring and Ball apparatus. Also Temperature is noted when the softened bitumen touches the metal plate which is at a specified distance below. Generally, higher softening point indicates lower temperature susceptibility and is preferred in hot climates.

3.Ductility Test: Ductility is the property of bitumen that permits it to undergo great deformation or elongation. Ductility is defined as the distance in cm, to which a standard sample or briquette of the material will be elongated without breaking.

4.viscosity test: Viscosity denotes the fluid property of the bituminous material and it is a measure of resistance to flow. At the application temperature, this characteristic greatly influences the strength of resulting paving mixes. Low or high viscosity during compaction or mixing has been observed to result in lower stability values.
