I hope I can receive your help in order to have a much broader overview. Is it possible to do tensile test by method ASTM-D638 on bitumen? Has anyone done this test on bitumen?
Yes, tensile testing on bitumen is possible using the ASTM D638 standard. This standard specifies how to perform tensile testing on plastic materials, including bitumen. It entails applying a tensile load to a specimen of the material and measuring the material's response to the applied load using a tensile testing machine. The resulting data can be used to calculate the material's tensile strength, elongation, and other mechanical properties. When performing this test on bitumen, it is critical to follow the specific instructions provided in the ASTM D638 standard to ensure accurate and reliable results.
