Bitumen and Asphalt Testing Lab Equipment

Loss on Heating or Rolling thin film Oven

Model No.: EIT-1028
Standards Meets: BS 2000-45, ASTM D6

A rolling thin film oven happens to be used to test the result of air and heat on a moving film of semi-hard bituminous materials. In this way, they imitate the short-term ageing of asphalt binders that occurs throughout the mixing and paving operations. During asphalt mixing and paving, asphalt binders undergo a short-term ageing process known as "short-term ageing." The oven has to be connected to a supply of compressed air that can sustain a pressure of at least 2 bars in order to function properly. If diaphragm pumps are not currently available in the laboratory. Here, in this blog post, you will know the need of analysing key asphalt binder properties and the best measuring equipment as per the Rolling Thin film Oven Manufacturer and Suppliers in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Kolkata, Ranchi, Patna.

The primary characteristics

Incorporates temperature controller, timer, visual alerts, and digital air flow regulator with capacitive display.

Complete compliance with the standards for temperature (including the amount of time needed to attain the target temperature after the power switch has been turned on and the amount of time needed to modify the target temperature after the samples have been inserted).

User-defined test temperatures may be maintained within 0.5 degrees Celsius of each other, ranging from ambient temperature to 200 degrees Celsius.

Safety-related features:

  • In addition to the automatic over-temperature switch and the door switch, there is a magneto-thermic switch, a switch for opening the door while the fan is still running and an alarm for this.
  • Double-glazed door with a window.
  • Hands-free unlocking mechanism for the door.
  • Inner is made of SS and exteriors of the building are built of high-quality Mild Steel.
  • Fahrenheit to Celsius: -50 to +200°F (default: 163 degrees Celsius) 0.5 degrees Celsius
  • The air flow rate may be changed from 0.1 to 10,000 ml/min.

Safety aspects include the following:

  • Door and light switches
  • An alarm system for open doors and a full test phase are all included.
  • Magthermia-powered switch.

AASHTO T 240 and ASTM D 2872: The Effect of Heat and Air on a Moving Asphalt Film provide a full description of the procedure.

Thin Film Oven provided by Rolling Thin film Oven Exporter in Kolkata India has been developed to measure the impact of heat and air on asphalt binder with high accuracy.
