MATEST Asphalt [B065] ROTOVAPOR - Rotary Evaporation Apparatus

STANDARDS: EN 12697-3 | ASTM D5404

Code : B065

This unit is used to recover bitumen from a solvent by minimizing the changes in the asphalt properties.

The test is performed by distilling the residue of the solution of solvent and asphalt.

The rotating distillation flask is partially immersed in a heated oil bath, and the solution is subjected to high vacuum, with fine regulation of pressure (up to ± 0.1 kPa) according to EN 12697-3.

The Rotary Evaporation Apparatus is essentially composed of :

• distillation flask 1000 ml capacity

• motor of variable speed, (suitable to rotate the flask at an adjustable rate of 20 to 280 rpm)

• solvent recovery flask, 1000 ml capacity; condenser, heated oil bath.
