Asphalt Testing Equipment, Capacity: Variable

Asphalt is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid that is present in most crude petroleum. It is most commonly used in road construction. The material consists essentially of two ingredients, aggregate and bitumen which is the binder.It is therefore important that equipment and test methods are used to determine the different physical and chemical properties of any given asphalt mix.Such parameters include binder content, binder percentage, aggregate grading, void content, resilient modulus, indirect tensile fatigue cracking, creep, softening point, flash and fire point, water content, loss in mass, elongation, elasticity, viscosity and adhesion.The main equipment used in Bitument & Asphalt testing are:- Ring And Ball Apparatus Standard Penetrometer Bitumen Penetrometer Bitumen Extractor Kinematic Viscometer Bath Saybolt Two-Tube Digital Viscometer Standard Tar Viscometer Marshall Stability Test Apparatus Ductility Testing Apparatus Loss On Heating / Thin Film Oven Asphalt Content Tester Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) Asphalt Mixer Theoretical Density Meter Muffle Furnace Flash & Fire Point of Bitumen Hot Air Oven
