Asphalt Content Tester
High-Precision Asphalt Content Tester for Accurate Bitumen Content Analysis
The Asphalt Content Tester is a professional laboratory instrument designed to accurately determine the asphalt (bitumen) content in hot mix asphalt (HMA), asphalt concrete, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), and other bituminous mixtures. Using advanced ignition furnace or solvent extraction methods (depending on the model), the tester provides fast, reliable, and repeatable results for asphalt quality control, mix design verification, and pavement material research.
The equipment is widely used in highway engineering laboratories, asphalt mixing plants, quality inspection agencies, universities, and research institutes to ensure asphalt mixtures meet project specifications and international testing standards.

Working Principle
The Asphalt Content Tester determines asphalt binder content using one of two commonly adopted methods:
Ignition Furnace Method
The asphalt mixture sample is weighed and placed inside the furnace. The controlled high-temperature combustion process burns off the asphalt binder while preserving the aggregate. After ignition, the remaining aggregate is weighed, and the system automatically calculates the asphalt content based on the weight difference.
Solvent Extraction Method (Optional Models)
The asphalt binder is dissolved using a suitable solvent, separating it from the aggregate. After filtration, washing, drying, and weighing, the asphalt content is calculated with high accuracy.
The intelligent software records all test data and automatically generates comprehensive reports for quality control and documentation.
