Asphalt
The main area of usage of bituminous mixtures is in road construction. The title of bituminous mixtures is called
Asphalt in USA. Bituminous mixtures consist of essentially two ingredients, aggregate and binder. The major
difference between asphalt and concrete is that bitumen and bituminous materials are used as binder in asphalt.
Analysis and design tests of bituminous mixtures, bitumen and bituminous binders tests, asphalt and road quality
tests are provided for engineering firms and construction companies to produce, inspect and evaluate the paving
materials to ensure the strength, physical and mechanical performance and durability towards safe application and
use.
In the asphalt section, UTEST Testing Equipment is basically grouped in four main headings

BC 100 Unit
Main Features
Data Acquisition & PC Software
BC100 TFT unit is designed to control the machine and processing
of data from load-cells, pressure transducers or displacement
transducers which are fitted to the machine.
All the operations of BC100 are controlled from the front panel
consisting of a 800x480 pixel 65535 color resistive touch screen
display and function keys 4 analogue channels are provided for
load-cells, pressure transducers or displacement transducers.
BC100 has easy to use menu options. It displays all menu option
listings simultaneously, allowing the operator to access the
required option in a seemless manner to activate the option or
enter a numeric value to set the test parameters. Its specimen
setting sub-menu lists different specimen types including but not
limited to cube, cylinder, block, beam, beam double upper
bearers, cube splitting tensile, cylinder splitting tensile, paving
block splitting tensile and kerb flexure. The BC100 digital graphic
display is able to draw real-time "Load vs. Time", "Load vs.
Displacement" or "Stress vs. Time" graphics.
Marshall Test Software is developed for both EN 12697-34 and
ASTM D5581 Marshall Tests.The software includes control of
machine, acquisition of load and displacement data, saving them
and generating reports.
The software accepts specimen diameter and height as an input
parameter. It automatically calculates correction factor coming
from the standarts respect to specimen size. The stability value is
calculated regarding to this factor.
The software continously updates load and displacement until
the end of test. When the test is completed, the sharpest slope of
the graph is calculated. The point that this line crosses
displacement axis is commented as an offset. This offset is
subtracted from the displacement value at peak point and called
as flow.
The report includes all these results for 9 samples.The user can
see 9 of the results on the same screen for easy comparision.
The software supports metric, SI and Imperial unit system.
VGA touch screen display with LED backlight for easy visibility
in daylight or dark situations.
