  • Method and device for determining a material property of a bitumen material
    Patent number: 10527547
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for determining a material property, in particular the aging state or the aging resistance, of a bitumen material, comprising the steps: applying a substantially monochromatic first excitation radiation of a first excitation wavelength to the bitumen material; measuring the intensity of a first fluorescence radiation, excited by the first excitation radiation, at a measurement wavelength; applying a substantially monochromatic second excitation radiation of a first excitation wavelength to the bitumen material; measuring the intensity of a second fluorescence radiation, excited by the second excitation radiation, at the measurement wavelength; determining a first key figure for the material property of the bitumen material from the ratio between the intensity of the second fluorescence radiation to the intensity of the first fluorescence radiation.
