Asphalt Pressure Aging Vessel

The Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV) is an experimental device used to simulate the aging behavior of asphalt under heat, oxidation, and pressure during long-term use. Through this device, the aging process of asphalt can be accelerated, thereby evaluating its long-term performance.

Main features:

1. Simulate long-term aging: Simulate the aging process of asphalt on the road surface for 5-10 years through the effects of high temperature, high pressure, and oxygen.
2. Precise control: Temperature, pressure, and aging time can be precisely controlled to ensure consistency in testing conditions.
3. Efficient accelerated aging: Complete long-term aging simulation in a short period of time (usually 20 hours).
4. Safety design: Equipped with multiple safety protection devices, such as overvoltage protection, overheating protection, and automatic pressure relief function.

    Structural composition

    The Asphalt Pressurized Aging Vessel consists of a pressure vessel, a pressure regulator, a temperature control instrument, a compressed air bottle, etc. pressurized Aging Vessel is connected to the computer through a serial port line, extracts test data from the tester, generates data reports and [temperature~pressure] curves, and can be printed out.
