BS 2000-536:2005 Methods of test for petroleum and its products. Bitumen and bituminous binders — Determination of complex shear modulus and phase angle — Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) (Identical with IP 536:2005)
This European Standard specifies a number of methods using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) capable of measuring the rheological properties of bituminous binders. The procedure involves determining the complex shear modulus and phase angle of binders over a range of test frequencies and test temperatures when tested in oscillatory shear.
From the test, the norm of the complex shear modulus, IG*I, and its phase angle, δ, at a given temperature and frequency can be calculated, as well as the components G', G'', J' and J'' of the complex shear modulus and of the complex compliance.
This method is applicable to unaged, aged and recovered bituminous binders, cut-back or fluxed bituminous binders stabilised from emulsions.
