DIN EN 12697-19:2012-06

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the vertical and horizontal permeability of cylindrical specimens of bituminous mixtures with interconnecting voids. This standard applies to specimens cored out of the road, specimens from laboratory made slabs or laboratory specimens prepared with a compaction device, provided the thickness of the specimen is not less than twice the nominal maximum particle size of the aggregate in the mixture. The nominal diameter of specimens should be either 100 mm or 150 mm unless the nominal maximum particle size of the aggregate size exceeds 22 mm, when the nominal diameter is 150 mm. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-10-10 AA "Asphalt (SpA zu CEN/TC 227/WG 1) Gemeinschaftsausschuss mit FGSV" ("Bituminous mixtures (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 227/WG 1) Joint committee with FGSV)") at DIN.
