PRESSURE AGING VESSEL - PAV
PRECISION PRESSURE AGING VESSEL
Our
Pressure
Aging
Vessel
simulates
long-term
oxidative
aging
of
asphalt
binders
using
heated,
pressurised
air.
It
features
an
ASME
and
CE
certified
stainless
steel
pressure
vessel
housed
in
a
steel
cabinet
with
encased
heaters
and
integrated
pressure
control.
The
system
is
designed for precise, uniform aging under tightly controlled conditions.
It
complies
with
ASTM
D6521,
AASHTO
R28
and
EN
14769
standards
and
uses
a
platinum
RTD
sensor
for
accurate
temperature
uniformity,
with
built-
in
pressure
relief
and
thermal
shutdown
for
safety.
A
touchscreen
front
panel
provides
full
control,
with
operating
ranges
of
2.1
±0.1
MPa
and
80–115°C.
Testing
is
completed
in
three
simple
steps:
set
conditions,
insert
specimens
and
start.
Supplied
accessories
include
ten
TFOT
pans,
a
precision
anodised
holder
and
handling
tool,
while
compressed
air
at
a
minimum
of
325
psi
must
be
sourced
locally.
Data
storage
and
software
updates
are
supported
via
a
front
USB
port,
making
the
system
adaptable
for future testing and laboratory data management needs.
DESCRIPTION
Cooper
Research
Technology’s
New
Generation
Pressure
Aging
Vessel
(CRT-PAV1)
uses
heated,
pressurised
air
to
simulate
long-term
oxidative
aging
of
asphalt
binders.
The
PAV
consist
of
an
ASME
Boiler
and
Pressure
Vessel
Code
and
CE
certified
stainless
steel
pressure
vessel,
steel
cabinet with encased band heaters, and integral pressure measurement control.
This
state
of
the
art
system
meets
ASTM
D6521,
AASHTO
R28,
and
EN
14769
requirements
and
includes
a
platinum
RTD
device
to
ensure
accurate
temperature
resolution
and
uniformity.
A
pressure
relief
valve
and
high-
temperature
thermal
shut-down
are
included
as
standard
safety features. A USB port located on the front of the unit allows the user to easily store test data and upgrade software if necessary.
The
CRT-PAV1
Pressure
Aging
Vessel
uses
a
Touch-screen
controller
with
front
panel
user
interface
for
complete
control
and
monitoring
of
all
test processes. The system has an operating pressure range of 2.1 ±0.1mPa and temperature range of
80°—115°C, with resolution of 0.1°C.
This easy-to-use system completes a test in three easy steps:
•
Set the temperature and pressure
•
Insert Specimens
•
Press the start button
The
CRT-PAV1
includes
a
set
of
ten
TFOT
specimen
pans,
a
precision
anodized
aluminum
sample
holder
with
lifting
handle,
and
a
specimen
handling
tool.
Additional
TFOT
pans
can
be
ordered
as
necessary.
Bottled
compressed
air
with
a
pressure
of
at
least
325psi
(2.24mPa)
and
a
regulator must be sourced locally.
