Pressure Aging Vessels (PAV’s) use heated, pressurized air to simulate long-term oxidative aging of asphalt binders. The PAV's consist of an ASME-Code stainless steel pressure vessel, in a stainless steel cabinet with encased band heaters. The Gilson PAV system meets the demands of busy labs with high test volumes.
This state of the art system meets all ASTM and AASHTO requirements and includes a platinum RTD device to insure accurate temperature values to ±0.1°C. A pressure relief valve and high-temperature thermal shut-down are included as standard safety features.
The HM-74 ATS Pressure Aging Vessel uses a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for complete control and monitoring of all test processes. This easy-to-use system completes a test in three easy steps: press the heat button, insert specimens when prompted, and press the age button. The stainless steel cabinet measures 30x20x24in (760x508x610mm), WxDxH. The ATS PAV includes a set of ten TFOT specimen pans, a sample holder with lifting handle, and a specimen handling tool. Additional MOA-2 TFOT pans can be ordered as necessary. Bottled compressed air with a pressure of at least 325psi (2.24mPa) and a regulator must be user provided. Inquire for units equipped with modem to enable remote control and data access. Est. Ship Wt.: 425lb (195kg).
