Asphalt Binder Analyser

UTAS-0060-C

The UTAS-0060-C Asphalt Binder Analyser uses the method of loss on ignition to establish the asphalt binder content of hot mix asphalt/bituminous mixtures. The machine includes a furnace and weighing system that continuously measures the weight of the bituminous mixture during combustion. Through this process, the binder content is automatically calculated at the end of the test.
