Bitumen

Additive:

Any substance that is added in small proportions to bitumen to impart some particular property e.g. improved adhesion, emulsification etc.



Adhesion agent:bitumen

An additive that forms a water-resistant chemical bridge between binder and aggregate surface, and hence improves adhesion.



Anti-foam agent:

A substance, e.g. silicone oil, which when added to a bitumen will reduce the surface tension and hence the frothing tendency of hot bitumen in the presence of water.



Asphalt:

A mixture of mineral aggregate and a bituminous binder. A natural mixture in which bitumen is associated with a substantial proportion of inert mineral matter e.g. Trinidad Lake Asphalt.

Note: In the US 'Asphalt' is used as the term for the bitumen itself.



Asphaltenes:

The high molecular weight hydrocarbon fraction precipitated from bitumen by a designated paraffinic solvent.



auto-ignition temperature:

The temperature above which a substance, when exposed to air, might ignite in the absence of a source of ignition as a result of contact with a hot surface or by self-heating alone.



Auto-ignition temperature is not an intrinsic property of the substance. It depends upon the surrounding physical circumstances including the size and shape of the substance and the degree of ventilation around it. Therefore, the auto-ignition temperature for any substance can only be indicated approximately.



Bituminous Binder:



A modified bitumen, or mixture of bitumen with fluxes, etc used for road sealing or the manufacture of asphalt mixes.



Bitumen:

A virtually involatile, adhesive and waterproofing material obtained by refinery processes from crude petroleum, or present in natural asphalt deposits in some parts of the world. It is black or brown in color and completely or nearly completely soluble in toluene. It is very viscous or near solid at ambient temperatures and softens gradually when heated.



Bitumen emulsion:

A dispersion of bitumen in water achieved by the use of suitable chemical emulsifying agents. The emulsified bitumen droplets may be anionic (negative charge), cationic (positive charge) or non-ionic (neutral).



Blown bitumen (Oxidised bitumen):bitumen

Bitumen used in a wide variety of 'industrial' applications including roofing, flooring, pipe-coating etc. They are produced by passing air through soft bitumen/flux mixtures under controlled temperature conditions. British Standard grades (BS 3690) are normally designated by two numbers representing the mid-points of their softening point and penetration ranges.



Boil-over (Froth-over):

The rapid increase in volume caused by the presence of water in hot bitumen and the subsequent overflow from a tank.



Cutback bitumen:

Bitumen whose viscosity has been reduced by the addition of a relatively volatile flux such as kerosene, to render it more fluid for ease of application.



Emulsifier:

A chemical additive that is used to stabilise a suspension of bitumen in water in emulsion manufacture. The emulsifier determines the charge of the emulsion and controls the stability.



Flash point:

The lowest temperature at which the application of a small flame in a prescribed manner causes the vapor above a flammable product to ignite when the product is heated under prescribed conditions. The flash point may be measured according to IP Method 34/88 or equivalent in a Closed Cup or by IP 36/84 in an Open Cup.

Pyrophoric deposit:

A deposit, normally formed in an oxygen depleted environment, which can produce self-heating when its temperature or the surrounding oxygen concentration is increased.



Archeology:

Physical study of the deformation of materials linked to viscosity, elasticity, plasticity and flow.



Slurry Seal:

A mixture of bitumen emulsion, well-graded fine aggregate, mineral filler or other additives, and water. Slurry seals are used as surface treatments in road maintenance.



Softening point:

The temperature in degrees C at which a bitumen attains a particular degree of softness with reference to test conditions prescribed by BS EN 1427 or equivalent.



Soft Paving grade bitumen:

Paving bitumen used in the manufacture of soft asphalt.



Viscosity:

A measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow. Various scales of measurement are used. The Standard Tar Viscometer (STV) is used in the IP Method 72/86 to characterise cutback bitumen in 'seconds'. Kinematic viscosity is a derived characteristic that can be used to represent the fluid in technical calculations.

Layers Puzzle Type Parking Equipment

2 layers puzzle type are very popular in China, it makes your parking spaces quantity much more than it was with low cost and short installation time.
With the lifting and sliding movements of pallets, the cars could be parked and retrieved. The driver only needs to swipe a card or push the buttons at operational box, the retrieving process will be applied automatically.
