Bitumen can be thinned by heating it to a high temperature, usually around 160-220°C, to reduce its viscosity and make it easier to work with. This process is often done using a bitumen heater or hot oil system. It's important to follow safety precautions when handling hot bitumen to avoid burns or other accidents.
Typically, bitumen and "asphalt" are interchangeable.
'asphalt' refers to a mixture of mineral aggregate and bitumen (bitumen)is the black liquid which is extracted from the crude oil....
Straight run bitumen is a bitumen obtained by the fractional distillation of crude oil without undergoing further modifications. It is typically used as a binder in road construction and waterproofing applications. Straight run bitumen has higher viscosity and lower penetration compared to other types of bitumen.
Bitumen is a petroleum tar, known as asphalt, pitch, or blacktop.
Bitumen grade is a classification system based on the viscosity of the bitumen. A higher bitumen grade indicates a lower viscosity, meaning it is more viscous and suitable for higher temperature environments or heavy-duty applications.
why bitumen is used
Mustek manufactures a variety of packed bitumen products. Their bitumen products are produced at the Europoort refinery in Rotterdam, Germany. They produce 3 types of bitumen: penetration bitumen,oxidized bitumen, and hard bitumen.
Bitumen is use as fuel.

ASTM D6847 gives the procedure for it
cut black bitumen needs a solvent to dilute it whereas emulsion doesn't.
Cut-back bitumen uses solvent as the mixing medium where in Emulsion uses water to dilute bitumen for the purpose of tack-coating / road works
Bitumen is used in place of coal tar in making roads.
It means eyes, black like coal. Bitumen is the British term for coal.
