SF FEOF ®OCOODODODEDbbbbKNbNAGLEbESS NV Ban Ramah Agaval Charabe Ta’ = Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Pune-48 (An Autonomous Institute Affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University) Department of Civil Engineering EXPERIMENT NO: 13 DATE: Specific Gravity of Bitumen as per IS 1202 OJECTIVE: To determine the specific gravity of bitumen/tar THEORY: This t lone to determine the specific gravity of semi-solid bitumen road tars, creosote and anthracene oil as per IS: 1202 — 1978. The principle is that it is the ratio of mass of a given volume of bitumen to the mass of an equal volume of water, both taken ata recorded /specitied temperature. RECOMMENDED VALUES: The specific gravity of pure bitumen ranges from 0.97 to 1.02. according to Indian Standard (BIS) minimum specific gravity of paving bitumen at 27°C shall be 0.99 for grades A25, A35, A45, A653, $35, S45 and $65 , 0.98 for A90 and $90 and 0.97 for A200 and $200. APPARATUS: ‘The apparatus needed to determine specific gravity of bitumen is Specific gravity bottles of 50ml capacity Water bath Bath thermometer — Range 0 to 44 degree centigrade, Graduation 0.2 degree centigrade Balance Take the sample (half the volume of the specific gravity bottles). PROCEDURE Clean, dry and weigh the specific gravity bottle along with the stopper (Weight ‘A’). Fill the specific gravity bottle with freshly boiled distilled water and insert the stopper firmly. Keep it in the water bath having a temperature of 27.0 + loC for not less than half an hour and weigh it (Weight ‘B’). oo Weigh the specific gravity bottle about half-filled with the material (Weight °C’) www puUUBUVE ap ap Or OP a . \ Du Rath Agno rie rs ow Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Pune-48 (An Autonomous Institute Affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University) + Weigh the specific gravity bottle about half-filled with the material and the other half with distilled water (Weight ‘D’), Weigh the specific gravity bottle completely filled with the material (Weight “E’) OBSERVATIONS & CALCULATIONS Weight of empty specific gravity bottle, W1 = Weight of bottle + bitumen, W2 = Weight of bottle +water, W3 = Weight of bottle + water +bitumen, W4 = (%.-™%) Specific Gravity = eS) err 472 OR, Specific gravity (Solids and semi-solid) = (C-A)/ [(B-A) - (D-C)] Specific gravity (Liquids) = (E-A)/ (B-A) RESULT: Specific Gravity of bitumen = The average of the two results should be reported.
