What Does 80/100 Mean

The numbers refer to the penetration value of the bitumen, measured in 0.1 mm units under standard test conditions (25°C, 100g load, 5 seconds).80–100 penetration means the needle penetrates 8.0 to 10.0 mmIndicates medium hardnessSofter than 60/70 gradeHarder than 100/120 grade

Bitumen 80/100 is a penetration grade bitumen, meaning its grade is defined by how deep a standard needle penetrates into it under specified conditions. The numbers 80/100 represent the penetration range, measured in 0.1 mm units, under a standard test (usually ASTM D5 or EN 1426).
