SECTION 2 BITUMEN - ASPHALT
The use of bituminous materials is mainly
addressed to roads construction.
The asphalt, named also bitumen, is
mainly composed by aggregates and
binder, with an infinite variation of
mixtures.
It is therefore necessary to get suitable
equipment to perform different test
methods and to determine binder content,
internal friction, cohesion, consistency,
softening point, viscosity, quality of
aggregates, voids percentage, level of
compaction, stiffness modulus, fatigue
resistance, Marshall test and many other
parameters.
The equipments described in this section
largely satisfy all these test procedures
conform to the Standard, European
standards on road materials tests.

MUFFLE FURNACE 1100°C
This furnace is used for the determination of
residual mineral matter by incineration of the
bituminous mixtures.
BITUMEN CONTENT FURNACE
BY IGNITION METHOD
The unit provides asphalt content of bituminous
paving mixtures accurate to 0.11% with a fast,
accurate, environmentally friendly and cost
effective method of determining asphalt content.

CENTRIFUGE EXTRACTOR
1500/3000g CAPACITY
Used for the determination of bitumen percentage
in bituminous mixtures.
ACCESSORIES:
Bowl and cover 1500g Capacity
Filter disc 1500g Capacity (Pack of 100 pieces)
Bowl and cover 3000g Capacity
Filter disc 300g Capacity (Pack of 100 pieces)
CONTINUOUS FLOW
FILTERLESS CENTRIFUGE
Designed for quick filter less separation of filler from
binder solution or other mixtures containing
sediments (cement, soil, clay) in suspension. As no
filter I required there is no dispersion of material so
that the highest accuracy is assured.
Spares:
Aluminium Beaker 70mm dia x 200mm high

BOTTLE ROLLING DEVICE
With rotation speed adjustable from 0 to 85 rpm, Used
for determination of the affinity between aggregate and
bitumen, expressed by visual
registration of the degree of
bitumen coverage on
un-compacted bitumen-coated
mineral aggregate particles
after influence of mechanical
stirring action in the presence
of water.

MIXER 10 Litres CAPACITY
This mixer has been designed to mix
bituminous samples for compaction tests,
Marshall and tensile splitting test and for other
test where uniformity is required. Thanks to the
planetary action this mixer ensures a complete
and uniform mixing. Mixer supplied with
heating mantle unit and variable speed drive
allowing to set different speeds.

PNEUMATIC ROLLER COMPACTOR
- B039N
This pneumatic Roller Compactor is used to
produce representative sample slabs of several
dimensions of bituminous mixtures laid and
compacted in the roads.
The compaction is performed through a segmented
roller with alternated pneumatically operated
rotation simulating the on-site action of a street
roller. Slabs are compacted up to the selected
density and are then compatible for rut tests with
B038 Wheel Tracker. The slabs can also be cored
or cut off to obtain cylinders and beams for bending
fatigue, indirect tensile, static and dynamic creep,
stiffness, 4-point tests, etc. WHEEL TRACKING APPARATUS
- B038
This test, developed in laboratory, consists in
evaluating the deformation (rut) depth of a
bituminous mixture subjected to cycles of
passes of a loaded rubber wheel under
constant and controlled temperature
conditions.
To perform the test, a wheel tracking
apparatus is used to simulate the effect of
traffic and to measure the deformation
susceptibility of the bituminous sample.
