Bitumen, Tar and Related Products Sectional Committee, PCD 06

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Bitumen, Tar and Related Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and
Related Products Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1958 as ‘Methods for testing tar and bituminous materials — Determination
of solubility in carbon disulphide or trichloroethylene’ and subsequently revised in 1978. A series of published
Indian Standards cover tar, bitumen and bituminous materials and a booklet was published containing a series of
22 standards as listed below:

IS No. Title
IS 1201 : 1978 Sampling
IS 1202 : 1978 Determination of specific gravity
IS 1203 : 1978 Determination of penetration
IS 1204 : 1978 Determination of residue of specified penetration
IS 1205 : 1978 Determination of softening point
IS 1206 : 1978 Determination of viscosity:
(Part 1) Industrial viscosity
(Part 2) Absolute viscosity
(Part 3) Part 3 Kinematic viscosity
IS 1207 : 1978 Determination of equiviscous temperature (EVT)
IS 1208 : 1978 Determination of ductility
IS 1209 : 1978 Determination of flash point and fire point
IS 1210 : 1978 Float test
IS 1211 : 1978 Determination of water content (dean and stark method)
IS 1212 : 1978 Determination of loss on heating
IS 1213 : 1978 Distillation test
IS 1214 : 1978 Determination of matter insoluble in benzene (WITHDRAWN due to toxic nature of
benzene)
IS 1215 : 1978 Determination of matter insoluble in toluene
IS 1216 : 1978 Determination of solubility in carbon disulphide or trichloroethylene
IS 1217 : 1978 Determination of mineral matter (ash)
IS 1218 : 1978 Determination of phenols
IS 1219 : 1978 Determination of naphthalene
IS 1220 : 1978 Determination of volatile matter content

However, the Committee responsible for the formulation of standards in the field of bitumen, tar and related
products decided to publish these Indian Standards separately for each test so as to make it user friendly.

(Continued from second cover)

This second revision has been brought to formulate individual standard on determination of solubility in
trichloroethylene. In this revision following major changes have been made:
a) Use of carbon disulphide has been removed from the test method due to its carcinogenicity; and
b) Precautions for use of trichloroethylene have been incorporated.

The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.

In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, observed or
calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for rounding off
numerical values (second revision)’.

Review of Indian Standards

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed
periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are
needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users of Indian Standards
should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by referring to the website-
