Specification
Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) Test measures the effect of heat and air on a moving film of hot mix asphalt binder, simulating short-term aging that occurs during production and paving operations. This is important for investigating and predicting early age HMA pavement behavior and distress.
- The results of this treatment are determined from measurements of the asphalt properties before and after the test. Through the use of a programmable, temperature controller and a 4-digit, digital display system, along with a solid-state heater and 200-watt heating element, the oven accurately maintains the specified test temperature of ±1°F at 325°F (±0.5°C at163°C).
- The oven includes a 200 to 14,000 ml/min flow meter, moisture meter, 0 to 100 psi air pressure gauge with regulator, rotating (15rpm) test rack and eight glass specimen jars.
- Overall dimensions 40″W x 36″H x 26″D (1016 x 3292 x 660mm).
- A clean, dry compressed air source is required for oven operation.
