Bitumen Penetration Grade 10/20, 40/50, 50/70, 60/70, 80/100, 85/100, 160/220:

Penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. Penetration Grade Bitumen supplied by Shalechem is petroleum grade bitumen, manufactured from fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil. The Bitumen supplied by Shalechem Gis produced from vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Penetration Grade Bitumen is specified by the penetration and softening point test. Designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumen have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen.

Grade 10/20 PROCESS: Ultra High Air Blowing. APPLICATION: Used for road construction in warm areas.

Grade 40/50 PROCESS: High Air Blowing. APPLICATION: Used for road construction in tropical areas.

Grade 60/70 PROCESS: Moderate Air Blowing. APPLICATION: Used for road construction in mild areas.

Grade 160/220 PROCESS: Low air blowing. APPLICATION: Used for road construction in very cold areas.

Grade 85/100 PROCESS: Relatively low air blowing. APPLICATION: Used for road construction in Cold areas.

Bitumen Viscosity Grades is used for engineering and construction purposes and for the production

of asphalt pavements with superior properties.

VG-10 BITUMEN: VG-10 is widely used in spraying applications such as surface dressing and paving

in very cold climate in lieu of old 80/100 Penetration grade. It is also used to manufacture Bitumen

Emulsion and Modified Bitumen products.

VG-20 BITUMEN: VG-20 is used for paving in cold climate & high altitude regions

VG-30 BITUMEN: VG-30 is primarily used to construct extra heavy duty Bitumen pavements that

need to endure substantial traffic loads. It can be used in lieu of 60/70 Penetration grade.

VG-40 BITUMEN: VG-40 is used in highly stressed areas such as intersections, near toll booths and

truck parking lots in lieu of old 30/40 Penetration grade. Due to its higher viscosity, stiffer Bitumen

mixes can be produced to improve resistance to shoving and other problems associated with higher

temperature and heavy traffic loads.

It should be noted that the following tests and requirements given in the former penetration-graded Bitumen Specifications IS 73:1992 (Table 1) are not there in there commended viscosity-graded specifications in Table 2, because they are simply redundant and unnecessary owing to the following reasons:

Softening Point: The softening point is an empirical test, which was used in the past to control high temperature performance of the bitumen. With the viscosity grading at 60 C, the softening point has become redundant.

Penetration Ratio: The penetration ratio requirement was used in the past to control temperature susceptibility (slope of temperaturestiffness line) of bitumen. With a minimum penetration requirement at 25 C, a viscosity range at 60 C, and a minimum viscosity at 135 (as shown in Figure 4) the temperature susceptibility of the bitumen is adequately controlled. Therefore, the penetration ratio has become redundant.

Paraffin Wax Content: The presence of excessive paraffin in the bitumen makes it highly temperature susceptible (low stiffness at high temperatures and high stiffness at low temperatures). For the reasons mentioned previously for penetration ratio, this test isnow redundant and unnecessary for viscosity-graded bitumens. The viscosity-graded bitumens preclude bitumens with excessive paraffin wax because those bitumens will not satisfy viscosity requirements at both 60 C and 135 C.

Fraass Breaking Point: The empirical Fraass breaking point has significance in controlling thermal cracking in very cold climate countries such as those in Europe. Itis not relevant or necessary in most of India. Moreover, highly temperature susceptible bitumens are likely to fail the Fraass breaking test. Since the temperature susceptibility is controlled in the viscosity-graded bitumen specifications, the Fraass breaking point test is redundant now. Therefore, the adoption of viscosity graded bitumen specification will reduce the total number of tests to 8 only compared to penetration graded bitumen specification, which used 14 tests. This will reduce the time and cost of testing bitumen without compromising its quality. It would have been ideal to adopt a truly, time-tested specification for viscosity graded paving bitumen in India similar to ASTM. However, deliberations in Sectional Committee PCD 6 of the Bureau of Indian Standards resulted in some adjustments in the adopted specification (as given in Table 3), which came into effect in July 2006. Some adjustments were made to facilitate the transition from penetration grades to viscosity grades. It is hoped as suppliers and user agencies get more acquainted with the viscosity grading system, these specifications will be fine tuned and made more rational in the near future.
