Australian Standard Bitumen Class-170

Australian Standard Bitumen Class-170 Supplier and Exporter

Australian Standard Bitumen Class-170 is a paving grade bitumen classified under Australian Standard specifications, distinct from penetration grading, viscosity grading, and the Superpave Performance Grade system. Class-170 is not interchangeable with penetration grade 170 or other international classification systems, as the Australian Standard applies its own methodology and quality parameters. This grade offers consistency and workability characteristics suited to a range of paving applications, with Class-170 specifications and technical properties, including consistency, viscosity, and other quality parameters, depending on the applicable standard and supplier test documentation. Class-170 can provide consistent binder characteristics for paving and spray sealing applications when selected and applied according to the relevant project requirements. It is commonly used for road construction, asphalt production, and spray sealing, and may be considered for highway infrastructure projects and, where technically appropriate, airport pavement applications. Selecting Class-170 or another binder grade requires evaluating climate, traffic loading, pavement design, asphalt mix, and construction method specific to each project, rather than assuming universal suitability. Turkey Bitumen Supplies Australian Standard Bitumen Class-170 to international importers, distributors, contractors, and procurement teams, supporting export orders around project specific requirements and technical documentation. Buyers are welcome to reach out for further details and a quotation.

What does Class-170 mean in Australian Standard bitumen classification?

Class-170 refers to a specific classification within the Australian Standard system for bitumen, which uses its own methodology and is not directly equivalent to penetration or viscosity grading systems.

What are the main applications of Class-170 Bitumen?

Class-170 Bitumen is commonly used for road construction, asphalt production, and spray sealing, with highway infrastructure projects also considered depending on project requirements.

Is Class-170 Bitumen suitable for road construction?

Class-170 Bitumen is commonly used for road construction where its consistency and workability characteristics meet the applicable project specifications and design requirements.

Is Class-170 Bitumen used for spray sealing?

Yes, Class-170 is commonly considered for spray sealing applications, with suitability depending on the specific project's climate, surface conditions, and applicable specifications.

Is Class-170 suitable for asphalt production?

Class-170 may be suitable for asphalt production where its binder characteristics align with the asphalt mixture design and project requirements.

Is Class-170 Bitumen suitable for highways and airport pavements?

Class-170 may be considered for highway infrastructure projects and, where technically appropriate, airport pavement applications, subject to engineering evaluation and applicable design standards.

What are the important Class-170 Bitumen specifications?

Specifications generally address consistency, viscosity, and other quality parameters defined under the applicable Australian Standard. Buyers should confirm exact figures through the supplier's test certificate for their order.

How does Class-170 differ from other bitumen grading systems?

Class-170 follows the Australian Standard classification methodology, which differs from penetration grading, viscosity grading (VG, AC, AR), and the Superpave Performance Grade system used in other regions.
