Bitumen VG 30 is a viscosity graded bitumen used extensively in road construction, especially in hot and moderate climate regions. Here’s a breakdown of what VG 30 means and its key features:

What is Bitumen VG30

VG stands for Viscosity Grade.The number 30 represents the viscosity value (measured in poise at 60°C), indicating that it has a higher viscosity than VG 10 and VG 20, making it suitable for heavier traffic loads and warmer climates.

Bitumen VG 30 Specifications:

Property                                                                        Specification (Typical)

Viscosity @ 60°C                                                         2400 – 3600 Poise

Viscosity @ 135°C                                                        Minimum 400 cSt

Penetration @ 25°C                                                     50 – 70 dmm

Softening Point                                                             Min. 47°C

VG 30 Applications:

1. Flexible pavement construction
2. Asphalt concrete (hot mix)
3. Suitable for areas with high traffic volume
4. Used in bituminous macadam and dense bituminous macadam (DBM) layers
5. National highways
6. State highways
7. Heavy traffic roads
8. Runways
9. Base and binder courses

Comparison with Other VG Grades:

Grade                                  Use Case

VG 10                                   Cold climate, spraying applications

VG 20                                   Moderate climate, medium traffic

VG 30                                   Warm climate, heavy traffic (most commonly used in India)

VG 40                                    Very heavy traffic, industrial zones

Suitable Climate

1. Performs well in tropical and temperate climates
2. Commonly used across India
