Analysis of Bituminous Mixtures

Product Codes:

Description:

• The UTEST ABA Asphalt Binder Analyzer is used to determine the binder content of hot mix asphalt/bituminous mixtures by the method of loss on ignition.
• The system combines a sophisticated furnace and weighing system to continuously measure the weight loss of a bituminous mixture during combustion and automatically calculates its binder content at the end of the test.
• Supplied complete with 2 specimen baskets with a safety cover and a carrying tray, a fork to catch the tray, a cooling cage and 3m metal exhaust pipe.
• The Metal Stand for UTAS-0060 should be ordered separately.

 OVEN AND AFTERBURNER:

• Sample size up to 4500 g for more representative test results
• Maximum power rating is 4,5 kW

HARDWARE:

• 16-bit microprocessor with one CPU card controlling test data display, temperature, database and internal functions
• Large permanent memory to store test results
• On board 40 column serial printer
• Weighing system 15000 g capacity, 0.1 g resolution and detecting mass variations of ± 0,1 g
• PID closed loop thermoregulation for both oven and afterburner chamber
• 950 ºC Afterburner 540 ºC oven set temperature according to standard
• TFT touchscreen with 800×480 resolution and 65000 colours

FIRMWARE:
