BENDING BEAM RHEOMETER 2S
PRECISION FLEXURAL TESTING FOR ASPHALT
The
improved
Bending
Beam
Rheometer
(CRT-BBR2S)
performs
flexural
testing
on
asphalt
binder,
bitumen,
and
related
materials
in
accordance
with
ASTM
D6648,
BS
EN
14771,
and
AASHTO
T313.
Using
constant-force
loading
in
a
chilled
bath,
it
measures
deformation
rates
at
controlled
temperatures.
Enhanced
software
and
crack-sealant
testing
capabilities
provide
greater
flexibility
and
ease
of
use
for
operators.
The
CRT-BBR2S
incorporates
precise
temperature
control
via
a
PID
controller
and
dual
platinum
RTDs,
delivering
reliable
test
conditions
from
-40°C
to
25°C.
Its
three-point
bending
apparatus,
stainless-steel
construction,
and
temperature-compensated
load
cell
ensure
accuracy
and
durability.
Computerised
control
enables
automated
data
acquisition
and
analysis,
while
new
software
allows
programmable
test
parameters,
multilingual
options,
system-status
indicators,
and
customizable
reporting,
including
sample
naming,
operator
notes,
and
company
logo
integration.
Optional
crack-sealant
testing
hardware
expands
its
capability
for
advanced
material
performance evaluation.
DESCRIPTION
The
improved
Bending
Beam
Rheometer
(CRT-BBR2S)
is
engineered
to
perform
flexural
tests
on
asphalt
binder/
bitumen
and
similar
specimens
per
ASTM
D6648,
BS
EN
14771,
and
AASHTO
T313.
These
tests
consist
of
a
constant
force
being
applied
to
a
specimen
in
a
chilled
bath
in
order
to
derive
specific
rates
of
deformation
at
various
temperatures.
Enhanced
software
and
the
ability
to
perform
crack
sealant
tests
expand
the
capabilities
of
the
CRT-BBR2S
beyond
those
of
the
original
BBR2.
Intuitive
programming
guides
operators
through
test
setup,
providing
a
highly
customizable and user-friendly experience.

CRT-BBR2S
users
now
also
have
the
ability
to
name
their
samples,
enter
any
important
notes,
and
upload
their
company logo directly into their test report
