Applied Test Systems has been manufacturing custom furnaces and ovens since 1965, and entered into the bitumen / asphalt binder market in the early 1990’s with the introduction of Superpave! It only seems logical to expand our many years of industry and process heating knowledge into the creation of the Applied Test Systems Rolling Thin Film Oven, the RTFO Touch.
The NEW RTFO Touch from ATS has been designed to simulate short-term aging of asphalt binder according to ASTM D2872, AASHTO T240, EN 12607, Superpave, and California Test Method 346 test standards and now offers customizable options to accommodate a broad spectrum of users.
