Bitumen penetration grade 60/90 means the penetration value is in the range 60 to 90 at standard test, The Bitumen mode is dependent on temperature. The temperature-vs-stiffness relationship of bitumen is dependent on the type of crude oil and its refining method. Bitumen penetration grade 60/90 is semi hard penetration grade bitumen used as a paving grade bitumen. This grade of bitumen is mainly used in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Bitumen 60/90 is one of the most used bitumen grades and it’s a basic material for all other bituminous products.
