Density and Distillation Tests

Apparatus for distillation of cut-back asphalt
Among the binder composition tests, Distillation Tests are critical to identify the presence of volatile constituents and the amount of non-volatile residues in bitumen. Dean Stark apparatus is used to determine the presence of water, that needs to be kept to a minimum in order to avoid foaming problems. Finally, Fraas apparatus can be used to determine the low temperature breaking point of binders.

Breaking Point Apparatus

Used for determining the breaking point of solid and semi-solid bitumens.

Standards EN 12593

81-B0158
Description

Used for determining the breaking point of solid and semi-solid bitumens. The Fraas Breaking Point is the temperature at which bitumen first becomes brittle, as indicated by the appearance of cracks when a thin-film of the bitumen on a metal plaque is cooled and flexed in accordance with specified conditions.
The apparatus consists of a bending device, a plaque made of springly stainless steel 41x20x0.15 mm, a cooling device, a thermometer IP 42 C, a plate and stand.
