This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the efflux time at 25 °C of petroleum cutback
and fluxed bituminous binders in seconds using an efflux viscometer. Alternative test temperatures are
40 °C, 50 °C and 60 °C.
WARNING — The use of this European Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
