Bitumen Content Furnace By Ignition Method
- Product Code: AB024
EN 12697-39, 13108, ASTM 6037 - AASHTO TP 53 - NCAT (National Centre for Asphalt Technology) BS (DD) standards The unit provides asphalt content of bituminous paving mixtures accurate to 0.11%, with a fast, accurate, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective method of determining asphalt content. Ignition method reduces testing time when compared to solvent extraction. A 1200-1800 gram sample of asphalt can be tested in 30-45 minutes using this Content Furnace.
The unit can accommodate samples up to 5000 grams.
Asphalt furnaces are specially designed for the quantitative determination of Binder Content in hot mix asphalt. The furnace is capable of 600ºC. Any emissions during
tests are eliminated with the usage of a special
thermal afterburner placed on top of the furnace.
The reverse suction system enhances the removal of
flammable fumes during operation. The furnace is under control of the software, including
the operation and heat up of the afterburner and
lock up of furnace lid at 150ºC.
All elements are protected against corrosion by
quartz tubing providing a longer service life.
Standard brick design on the outer skirts of the door
and the furnace opening provide protection from
possible unwanted damages during loading.
Galvanized coating covered epoxy painted structure,
providing a longer lifetime and aesthetics.
