BITUMEN AND BITUMINOUS BINDERS

Water in Bituminous Materials Test Set (Dean – Stark Method) 220-240 V 50 Hz
Ref. Standard ASTM D95, D244, AASHTO T55, T59; IP 74/77: CNR No.101; NLT 123

EKE 0135:
  
The EKE 0135 test set is used for determining the water content of bituminous materials. The test is based on distilling the sample  with a volatile solvent. The material to be tested is heated under reflux with a water immiscible solvent, which distills together with the water in the sample. Condensed solvent and water are continuously separated in a trap, the water settles in the graduated section of the trap, and the solvent returns to the still.

Test Set Consists of :
•    Electric Heater with Thermo Regulator
•    Glass Condenser
•    Glass Receiver
•    Glass Still, 10 ml

Fraass Breaking Point Apparatus
Ref. Standard EN 12593

EKE 0137:

EKE 0138: Stainless Steel Plaque for EKE 0137 Fraass Apparatus (Pack of 10)
EKE 0139: Dry Ice Maker

The EKE 0137 Breaking Point Apparatus is used to determine the breaking point of solid and semisolid bitumen

The Fraass 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 stainless steel plaque , cooling and bending apparatus, thermometer IP 42C (-38°C/ + 30°C), plate and stand
