EN 1367-5-2011 pdf download.Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates – Part 5: Determination of resistance to thermal shock.
This EN 1367-5 specifies methods for the determination of resistance to thermal shock of aggregates, subject to heating and drying in the production of hot bituminous mixtures
This standard descnbes the reference method use for type testing and in case of dispute. For the purpose of type testing and in case of dispute only the reference method should be used, For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided than an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
thermal shock
change in physical properties of aggregates subjected to 700 °C environment for a 3 mm interval
3.2
test specimen
sample used in a single determination when a test method requires more than one determination of a property
3.3
constant mass
successive weighings after drying at least 1 h apart not differing by more than 0,1 %
NOTE In many cases constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a pre-determined period
in a specified oven at (110 ± 5) °C. Test laboratories can determine the time required to achieve constant mass for specified types and sizes of sample dependent on the drying capacity of the oven used.
4 Principle
The test involves two test specimens with the grading required by EN 1097-2. One test specimen is soaked heated to 700 °C for 3 mm. The resistance to fragmentation is then determined in accordance with EN 1097-2 on the first test specimen after heating and the strength loss calculated by comparison with the result of the second test specimen which has not been heated The increase in undersize passing the 5 mm sieve after thermal shock is also calculated.
