Bitumen Penetration Grade 40/50

Bitumen Penetration Grade 40/50 Description

Bitumen penetration grade 40/50 bitumen means the penetration value is in the range 40 to 50 at standard test conditions which commonly used as a Paving Grade. Bitumen is applicable for the production of hot mix asphalt for bases and pavements and for road construction. Penetration Grade Bitumen supplied by HJ Oil is produced through aeration on vacuum bottom (the raw material used for making bitumen left in vacuum distillation column in oil refineries) in bitumen production units. Its penetration grade ( the measure of bitumen hardness) is between 40 to 50. Bitumen is specified by the penetration and softening point test. Designing is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumen has 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.

The Bitumen mode is dependent on temperature. The temperature-vs-stiffness relationship of bitumen is dependent on the type of crude oil and its refining method. Bitumen penetration grade 40/50 is semi-hard penetration grade bitumen used as a paving grade bitumen which is suitable for road construction and repair. It is also used for the production of asphalt pavements with the technical specification. This grade of bitumen is mainly used in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Bitumen 40/50 is one of the most used bitumen grades and it’s a basic material for all other bituminous products.

It also acts as a feedstock in manufacturing Bitumen Emulsion and Modified Bitumen products.

Viscosity grade of bitumen can be done on original (as-supplied) asphalt binder samples (called AC grading) or aged residue samples (called AR grading). The AR viscosity test is based on the viscosity of aged residue from the rolling thin film oven test. With AC grading, the asphalt binder is characterized by the properties it possesses before it undergoes the HMA manufacturing process. The AR grading system is an attempt to simulate asphalt binder properties after it undergoes a typical HMA manufacturing process and thus, it should be more representative of how asphalt binder behaves in HMA pavements. Table 1 lists key advantages and disadvantages of the viscosity grading system.

Bitumen C600

Bitumen C600 Description

C600 is a paving grade bitumen manufactured to AS 2008 Table 2.2 and is primarily suitable for use in high modulus
base course asphalt.

Summary of benefits

The Viva standards to which C600 bitumen is made result in a very consistent bitumen with predictable handling and performance characteristics

Bitumen C600 Applications

C600 bitumen is the hardest paving grade bitumen available in Australia and is mainly used to produce high modulus
asphalt. Heavy-duty asphalt pavements need to be designed to accommodate significant traffic loadings for up to 40
years without exhibiting structural failure and hence, need to be constructed using appropriate materials. The load
spreading characteristics of pavement layers are governed by their stiffness and C600 bitumen facilitates the production of high modulus asphalt.

Health & safety

C600 is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended
an application where good standards of industrial practice are maintained.

Bitumen C600 Typical characteristics

Bitumen, also known as asphalt in the United States, is a substance that forms through the distillation of crude oil. It has waterproofing and adhesive properties. Bitumen production through distillation removes lighter crude oil components, such as gasoline and diesel, leaving the “heavier” Asphalt behind. The producer often refines it several times to improve its grade. Bitumen can also occur in nature: Deposits of naturally occurring bitumen form at the bottom of ancient lakes, where prehistoric organisms have since decayed and have been subjected to heat and pressure.

Bitumen C450

Bitumen C450 Description

Bitumen C450 is a paving grade bitumen manufactured to comply with AS2008 Table 2.2 and is suitable for use in heavily trafficked asphalt.

Bitumen C450 Applications

C450 was originally a development from the Roads and Maritime Services in New South Wales and was incorporated into the 2012 revision of the national bitumen standard AS2008. C450 has been formulated to meet the viscosity requirements of AS2008 Table 2.2 whilst retaining excellent asphalt workability characteristics. The target applications are asphalt wearing courses and base courses for heavily trafficked pavements.

Asphalt recommendations

Health & safety
