Used to determine the viscosity of petroleum products at specified temperatures between 70 to 210 °F. Stainless steel made, the Saybolt viscometer is supplied complete with two interchangeable orifices “Furol” and “Universal”, oil bath, electric heater with digital thermoregulator, stirrer, cooling coil, viscosity flask.
Thermometers, filter funnel, withdrawal tube “are not included” and must be ordered separately.
The viscometer is equipped of a dual safety thermostat to prevent accidental over-heatings.

The Vacuum Degassing Oven (VDO) is designed to remove air bubbles created during the in-service oxidative aging of asphalt binder by the PAV.

We are excited to introduce the NEXT generation of our Vacuum Degassing Oven, the VDO Touch! We’ve kept the same great features our VDO was known for and incorporated some new ones to enable the user even more freedom. Designed to meet AASHTO R28, ASTM D6521, and EN 14769 test standards.

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.

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.

RTFO Touch Features

• Double walled stainless steel oven capable of maintaining temperature of up to 220⁰C (428⁰F)
• Precision NIST traceable Microprocessor -based Platinum RTD
•  NIST traceable digital flow meter
• Heat-recovery time around 5 minutes after specimens are loaded
• Programmable airflow, temperature, and duration of the aging process
• Data acquisition
• End-of-process alarm (both visual and audible)
• Capability of setting it to turn on on a select date and time
• USB Port on the front for data downloads and software updates
• USB port on the back
• Ethernet ready to control the system remotely
• Slanted screen design for improved visibility
• English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, and Arabic language options
