BPA 5 Set - Fraass Method

Automatic Breaking-Point Tester & Circulation Cooler

Bitumen: IP 80
Bitumen & Bituminous Binders: EN 12 593
(former: DIN 52 012 - NF T 66-026) - JIS K2207

Consisting of:

Measuring and Control Unit:
high-grade stainless steel housing with two-color powder coating, measuring head with bending mechanism, automatic fixture and adjustment of test plaques; test chamber cooled by solid-state components (Peltier-elements), chamber ventilator, touch-key panel with large LC-display visible up to 10 m distance for measured values and user guidance for temperature pre-selection and test-plaque clamping.

Programs:
- Standardized- FRAASS-Test
- RAPID-Test for very low breaking-points
- USER-Definable-Program
- SEARCH-Mode for samples with unknown breaking-point.

In combination with a PC and BPACon-software:
- Permanent-Bending-Program.
  Further the graphic display and evaluation of the
  bending forces.

Circulation Cooler:
as auxiliary refrigeration of the Peltier-elements.

Supplied with:
10 test-plaques (41 x 20 x 0.15 mm)
  1 insulated hose-set (Ø 8 mm, 2 x 2 m)

Note: serial printer or PC-software BPACon are recommended

Power supply: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 450 W, 2 A, EU-plug

Automatic Breaking-Point Tester & Circulation Cooler

Like 10-0460 but:
Power supply: 115 V, 60 Hz, 450 W, 4 A, US-plug

10-0474

Calibration Set - BPA 5

Consisting of:
1 set of precision resistor plugs,
2 weights,
1 calibrated thermometer IP42C

10-0475

Laboratory Stand for calibration set

10-0473

PC Software - BPACon (Windows®)

The Program includes the Permanent-Bending-Test software and is used to store / modify and display curves of force for
- Breakpoint-Tests
- Permanent-Bending-Tests
- Glass-Transition-Temperature-Tests

It replaces the serial printer and makes it is possible to start/stop the BPA/BBS by PC, as well as to load self-defined test-programs.

The progression in elasticity, plasticity and of course cracking will be displayed numerically or graphically in different scales. With special created curves of trends for bending or recovery force even very small, nearly not visible, breaks of the material can be found in an unknown high precision.

Supplied with: 1 PC-data-cable, 1 USB/RS232-converter
