1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies requirements for four grades of bitumen mastic
for building, composed ofground limestone, coarse aggregate and pigment,
ifrequired, incorporated with asphaltic cements.
1.2 Bitumen mastic floorings are graded according to usage as follows:
Grade 1 Special flooring
Grade II Light duty flooring
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard the following definitions and those
given in IS : 334-1965* shall apply.
2.1.1 Asphaltic Cement - Bitumen, lake asphalt, asphaltite or blends of
these with one another having adhesive qualities suitable for the manufac-
ture of bitumen mastic.
2.1.2 Limestone - A naturally occurring consolidated stratified calcarcous
rock.
NOTE - The term ia interpreted in a restricted geological sense.
2.1.3 Pigment - Finely ground metallic oxide like ferric oxide ( Fe,O, )
(see IS : 44-1969t ) and chromium oxide ( see IS : 54-1975s ).

4. COMPOSITION
4.2 The analysis of bitumen mastic shall be done in accordance with the
method specified in Appendix C.
5.1 The fine aggregate, as specified in 3.2.1 and pigment if required, shall
be thoroughly incorporated at a temperature between 175°C and 205°C
with the requisite proportion of bitumen. The requisite proportion of coarse
aggregate shall be incorporated either during manufacture of the bitumen
mastic or during remelting on site of work. Where the total percentage of
coarse aggregate does not exceed 35 percent and/or 4.75 mm in size,
wherever possible the whole of this shall be incorporated during manufac-
ture. In cases where the material is not required for immediate use, it
shall be cast into blocks.

7.2.1 All the five increments from a lot shall be thoroughly mixed
together at a temperature of 175 to 205°C. The mixtur? shall be
floated on an iron plate with the aid of a wooden float to a thickness not
less than 25 mm. While still warm the specimen shall be loosened from
the plate and a representative portion weighing not less than 10 kg shall be
forwarded to the laboratory for examination with full particulars as given
in 7.5.
7.3 Sampling from Blocks-From each lot cast in blocks, five blocks
shall be picked np at random. Each block shall be broken and a number

B-l. Approximately one gram of the sample shall be weighed into a 250-ml
beaker and approximately 15 to 20 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid
diluted with three times its volume of distilled water shall be added. The
w+ole shall be boiled for a few minutes and approximately 100 ml of dk-
tilled water added. The solution shall then be filtered through a filter
paper ( Whatman No. 42 or the equivalent ) and thoroughly washed with
distilled water.

D-3. METHOD
D-3.1 In order to ensure that the test results are reproducible, particular
attention is called to the following points.
D-3.1 .l Samples - In preparing samples for test, the mastic as laid shall
be filled directly from the mixer at the time of laying, into moulds which
17
1S:1195 -1978
are not less than 100 mm in diameter or 1.00 mm square, and float finished.
The samples, which shall be taken in duplicate, shall be moulded to a
thickness of 25 mm. Where it is necessary to make a test on samples cut
from the floor, special precautions should be taken to ensure that the
sample is of uniform thickness and that the base is level. The samples
should not be remelted.
D-3.1.2 Test Temperature - For the purpose of this standard, the sample
shall be cooled for not less than three hours in air or not less than one
hour in cold running water. It shall then be immersed in water at the
test temperature ( f O*l”C ) for at least one hour immediately prior to
testing. For test temperature see 6.1.
