STANDARDS: EN 12697-20, EN 13108-6
This EN describes a test method for determining the depth of indentation
of mastic asphalt and rolled asphalt, when force is applied to
them via a cylindrical indentor pin with a circular flat-ended base.
The test applies to aggregates of maximum nominal size less or
equal to 16 mm.
This test method is performed on mastic and road constructions
asphalts, on waterproofing and floor screeds in building constructions.
The indentation test can be applied also on Marshall specimens.
Condition the specimens together with their moulds for at least 60
min under water at the test temperature of 40 °C or 22 °C respectively
with ± 1 °C accuracy.
