Bitumen Penetration 40/50

Bitumen Penetration 40/50 is a higher the number, the softer the bitumen grades, this grade of bitumen has a penetration value between 40 to 50 (dmm), that means it’s harder than softer grades like 60/70 or 80/100.

Properties

The Properties of bitumen 40/50 shows its characteristics and specifications. This is related to the bitumen penetration testing; there are tests used to determine bitumen grades, including viscosity, softening point, shape, heat loss, and flash point.

  • Penetration Value: Indicates the hardness of the bitumen.
  • Softening Point: The temperature at which bitumen softens.
  • Ductility: The ability to stretch without breaking.
  • Viscosity: Resistance to flow, crucial for application at different temperatures.
  • Specific Gravity Test: It measures bitumen density, which influences how it interacts with aggregate materials during asphalt production.
