bitumen

Bitumen is widely used in the construction of asphalt roads and bituminous membrane products. This material is commonly used to build highways, motorways and rail networks. Bitumen has excellent water-proofing properties and for this reason used for making roofing products along with a range of other household and industrial applications, from emulsion paints to sound-proofing. Penetration bitumen and bitumen emulsions are used for the construction of railway tracks.

Various tests are conducted on bitumen to assess its consistency, gradation, viscosity, temperature susceptibility, and safety. Hammer-IMS measurement solutions are suitable for basis-weight quality control of flat bitumen material. The measurement systems are non-nuclear in nature and serve as part of inline production lines or offline for sampling or engineering purposes.
