The RV test measures the viscosity of bitumen at high temperatures using a rotational viscometer. It provides information on the binder’s workability during mixing and compaction. Appropriate viscosity ensures proper coating of aggregates and ease of handling, which is essential for achieving desired pavement density and performance.
