Carbolite ABA Asphalt Binder Analyser

The ABA 7/35B is used to determine asphalt binder content in HMA by measuring loss on ignition, following AASHTO T 308-10, ASTM D6307-19 and BSEN 12697-39:2012 standards.

The ABA 7/35B is a device specifically designed to measure the amount of asphalt binder content in hot mix asphalt (HMA) through loss on ignition. It is used in accordance with AASHTO T 308-10, ASTM D6307-10, and BSEN 12697-39:2012 standards. The weighing and calculation system are microprocessor-controlled and can be customized to fit the user’s needs. Test results can be obtained in both printed and software formats. The high-temperature afterburner technology effectively reduces the amount of noxious waste fumes produced. The asphalt binder analyzer comes with two sets of sample baskets as standard.
