EFFECTS OF HEAT AND AIR ON A MOVING FILM OF ASPHALT

This test method is intended to measure the effect of heat and air on a moving film of semi-solid asphaltic materials. The effects of this treatment are determined from measurements of the selected properties of the asphalt before and after the test.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:


  • Double walled convection oven with following inner dimensions: 381 mm high, 483 mm wide, 450mm deep, excluding plenum.


  • The door contains a viewing window made of two sheets of resistant glass separated by an air layer.


  • The oven is vented at top and bottom. Bottom vents have 15cm² open area symmetrical top vents have 9.5cm² open area.


  • This oven has an air plenum as described in ASTM D2872 specification. It is also provided with squirrel type fan for better uniformity.


  • The control board includes electronic temperature regulator with digital display and setting at 163°C +/- 0.5°C and a factory calibrated flowmeter for adjusting air flow at 4000 mL/min.


  • The oven has built in 305mm diameter vertical circular carriage to hold 8 glass sample containers rotating at 15+/- 0.2 rpm.


  • It is equipped with air jet for blowing heated air into each bottle at its lowest point of travel.
