The document provides instructions for conducting a mix/drainage test to determine the stabilizing effect of asphalt on an aggregate mixture. Key steps include:
1) Heating an aggregate mixture to 170 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.
2) Adding 204g of bitumen and mixing for 105 seconds.
3) Allowing the mixture to cool for 1 hour then evacuating it from the beaker glass.
4) Calculating the drainage value to evaluate the stabilizing effect as very good, acceptable, or insufficient.

out of the ofen and mix it manuan thoroughly for a moment. Give the aggregate mixture into the mix pan and clamp that in the mixer (REGO Beating and mixing machine, Modell: SM 2)
Weighed portion of approximately 1000g
asphalt mixture in a 170 degrees centigrade tempered and weighed beaker glass (800 milliliter)
Storage of the beaker glass for 1 hour at 170
degrees centigrade in the oven Among stirring lower the mixing whisk (6 wires) Dry mixing time of the mineral aggregates is 15 seconds Admixture of 204g bitumen After mixing time 105 seconds
After 1 hour the beaker glass should be taken
out of the oven and evacuated
After taking of the mix pan follows a short manual
after mixing time for additional homogenisation
Feasibility of mix / drainage test:
Possible sticking mineral aggregates on the beaker glass have to be removed and the beaker glass will be weighed Calculation of the drainage value: (glass after evacuation minus weight of the empty beaker glass) multiplied by 100%, divided by weighed portion of asphalt)
For the calculated drainage values are following rules valid:
x < 0,2 very good stabilize effect 0,2 < x < 0,3 acceptable stabilize effect x > 0,3 insufficient stabilize effect
