    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute, the determination of the voids of dry compacted filler by means of a Rigden apparatus.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute, the determination of the voids of dry compacted filler by means of a Rigden apparatus. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. The test is applicable to natural and manufactured fillers. It is used, for example to determine their bitumen carrying capacity.
