Bitumen is a semi-solid hydrocarbon product produced from heavy crude oil that is used widely in construction. It is composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen along with some sulphur and other elements. Bitumen has properties like adhesion, water resistance, and hardness. There are different types and grades of bitumen classified by penetration and viscosity used for purposes like road construction, waterproofing, and preventing erosion in canals. Tests like penetration and softening point tests are conducted to determine properties of bitumen samples.

BITUMEN

2. INTRODUCTION
Bitumen is an oil based
substance. It is a semi-
solid hydrocarbon
product produced by
removing the lighter
fractions (such as liquid
petroleum gas, petrol
and diesel) from heavy
crude oil during the
refining process.

3.  Bitumen is a mixture of about 300 - 2000
chemical components, with an average of
around 500 - 700. Elementally, it is around
87 to 92% carbon and 6 to 8%hydrogen ,
and up to 5% sulphur, 1% nitrogen, 1%
oxygen.
