Asphalt Binder Analyzer

The ABA Asphalt Binder Analyzer is used to determine the binder content of hot mix asphaltic bituminous mixtures by the method of loss on ignition. The system combines a sophisticated furnace and weighing system to continuously measure the weight loss of a bituminous mixture during combustion and automatically calculates its binder content at the end of the test.
