Asphalt Breaking Point Tester
High-Precision Asphalt Breaking Point Tester for Accurate Low-Temperature Performance Evaluation
The Asphalt Breaking Point Tester is a professional laboratory instrument designed to determine the low-temperature breaking point (Fraass Breaking Point) of asphalt binders and bituminous materials. The tester evaluates the temperature at which asphalt becomes brittle and cracks under specified bending conditions, providing essential data for road construction, pavement material development, and quality control.
Equipped with a precision cooling system, automatic temperature control, and reliable mechanical testing components, the instrument delivers accurate, repeatable, and standards-compliant results for laboratories, research institutes, and asphalt manufacturers.
Applications
The Asphalt Breaking Point Tester is widely used for evaluating the low-temperature cracking resistance of asphalt materials.

Working Principle
The Asphalt Breaking Point Tester operates according to the Fraass Breaking Point test method.
A thin asphalt film is applied to a standardized metal test plate, which is placed inside the low-temperature chamber. As the temperature decreases at a controlled rate, the specimen is repeatedly bent through a specified angle.
The temperature at which the asphalt film first develops visible cracks is recorded as the breaking point, indicating the material's resistance to brittle fracture at low temperatures.
During the test, the system continuously monitors and controls temperature to ensure accurate and repeatable results that comply with international testing standards.
