The standard Rolling Thin-Film Oven test is: The control system comprises of a microprocessor digital controller and overheat thermostat with calibrated scale and tamper proof lock.

The exterior is constructed from sheet steel finished in an easy clean powder coated paint and the interior chamber is made from stainless steel. The RTFO also provides a quantitative measure of the volatiles lost during the aging process. Asphalt binder is exposed to elevated temperatures to simulate manufacturing and placement aging. The Rolling Thin-Film Oven (RTFO) procedure provides simulated short term aged asphalt binder for physical property testing. Temperature is controlled and pre-set at 163✬ The control system comprises of a highly accurate PID temperature controller and an independent overheat thermostat with calibrated scale and tamper proof lock. Heated by Incoloy sheathed elements positioned in the base of the oven offering natural convection. Two rotating turntables of 13.5in diameter are supplied to perform both tests The unit is well insulated and has a double glazed window to view the test chamber. The interior chamber is made from 304 stainless steel. The exterior is constructed from sheet steel finished in an easy clean powder coated paint.
