IS 19232 : 2025 Methods for Testing Tar and Bituminous Materials - Determination of Specific Gravity of Bituminous Mixtures

1 SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes methods for determination of bulk specific gravity of specimens of compacted bituminous mixtures and theoretical maximum specific gravity of uncompacted bituminous paving mixtures at 25 °C.

1.2 This method shall not be used if the compacted specimen contains open or interconnected voids and/or absorbs more than 2 percent of water by volume.
