Asphalt Binder Analyzer (ABA) by the Ignation Method
The HİRATEST ABA Asphalt Binder Analyzer is used to determine the binder content of hot mix asphalt/bituminous mixtures by the method of loss on ignition. The system combines a sophisticated furnace and weighing system to continuously measure the weight loss of a bituminous mixture during combustion and automatically calculates its binder content at the end of the test.
Supplied complete with 2 specimen baskets with a safety cover with a carrying tray mounted, a fork to catch the tray, and 3 meter metal exhaust pipe.
If the tests are to be performed consecutively without waiting for cooling, Spare Basket and Tray Set and Cooling cage and shoud be ordered seperately.
Spare Basket and Tray Set consists of 2 pcs. basket (one has a safety cover) and a carrying tray mounted.
