Bitumen standards in Iran
Bitumen standards in Iran
Bitumen standards in Iran|The National Standards Organization of Iran (ISIRI) has developed various standards for bitumen and bituminous
materials. These standards determine the physical and chemical properties of bitumen and are essential to ensure the quality and proper
performance of bitumen in various applications. Bitumen manufacturers in Iran must comply with ISIRI standards to ensure that their
products are suitable for use in their intended applications.
Join us as we introduce you to the most important bitumen standards in Iran:
National Standard of Iran No. 2950
Specifies the properties of bitumen and bituminous materials, including the following:
Definitions and abbreviations
Sampling
Test methods
Physical and chemical properties of bitumen and bituminous materials
This standard classifies bitumen based on the degree of penetration based on ASTM D 946. The degree of penetration is a measure of the
softness and flexibility of bitumen. Bitumens with a high degree of penetration are softer and more flexible. Bitumens with a low degree of
penetration are harder and more brittle.
Iranian National Standard No. 12505
This item determines the properties of road construction bitumens. Based on the ASTM D 6927 standard, road construction bitumens are
classified based on their performance in different environmental conditions.
This standard divides road construction bitumens into three main groups:
Slow-Curing Bitumens: These bitumens harden at low temperatures and soften at high temperatures.
Modified Slow-Curing Bitumens: These bitumens are modified with additives to improve their performance in different environmental
conditions.
Quick-Curing Bitumens: These bitumens harden faster at low temperatures and soften at high temperatures.
Iranian National Standard No. 12506
This standard determines the properties of emulsion bitumens. ASTM D 2397 classifies emulsion bitumens based on the type of emulsifier
and their physical properties.
This guideline divides emulsion bitumens into two main groups:
Cation-Cured Emulsion Bitumens: These bitumens are emulsified using cationic additives.
Anion-Cured Emulsion Bitumens: These bitumens are emulsified using anionic additives.
