This document specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of a bituminous binder, in particular those of a polymer modified bitumen, by means of a tensile test.
NOTE 1 The tensile properties, more particularly the tensile stress, the elongation and energy, at the yield point and on fracture, are customarily used as a criterion for assessing the quality of these materials.
NOTE 2 The test method described in EN 13589 [1] is an alternate test method to determine the tensile properties of polymer modified bitumens.
