The Asphalt binder analyzer consists essentially of a high precision apparatus combining a ignition oven to a continuous weighing system to monitor the loss of weight of the asphalt sample and to automatically determine, at the end of the test, the binder content and percentage. An independently controlled auxiliary afterburner chamber significantly reduces the furnace emissions.
The Analyzer is supplied complete with double sample basket/safety cover, extraction fork and 3 meters of metal exhaust pipe.
- Full automatic test cycle with simultaneous display of all test parameters, including weight loss and %
- High efficiency heating system with additional afterburner for complete combustion of exhaust fumes, conforming to CE prescriptions
- PID closed loop temperature control
- Built in weighing system
- Test time reduced to 30-40 minutes
- Test performance menu comprising the simultaneous display of all test data
- Internal database, up to 100 tests. Each test can be displayed and printed or sent to PC by the RS 232 port
- High quality stainless steel internal chamber
