Loss-on-Heat Thin Film Oven

Loss-on-Heat Thin Film Oven

Supports the following standards: AASHTO T47, AASHTO T179, BS 2000

This dual-purpose 16ft3 oven can be used for lossof- heat test and thin film test for bitumen and asphaltic materials. The loss-on-heat oven determines the effect on asphaltic materials of heating in an oven under prescribed conditions. The results are reported in terms of change in sample mass and/or changes in selected properties such as viscosity, penetration and ductility as evidenced by test data taken before and after the oven cycle.

The oven features a stainless steel interior, a powder- coated steel exterior and a double-glazed door window for viewing the test chamber. Sidemounted controls are comprised of a microprocessor digital control and an independent overheat thermostat. Two rotating platforms are supplied to perform both types of tests.
