Introduction:
Ductility test of bitumen is one of the main testes that you need to do during road
construction. We know that the ductility of a material is the ability of that material
to undergo plastic deformation (permanent deformation) before the rupturing
(breaking) of that material.

A normal test is one in which the material between the two clips pulls out to a point
or to a thread and rupture occurs where the cross-sectional area is minimum. Report
the average of three normal tests as the ductility of the sample, provided the three
determinations be within ± 0.5 percent of their mean value. If the values of the three
determinations do not lie within ± 0.5 percent of their mean, but the two higher
values are within ± 0.5 percent of their mean, then record the mean of the two
higher values as the test result.
