Analysis furnace LBC-102

burnoutheatingfor general applications

Product overview
The LBC-102 asphalt ignition furnace is a solvent‑free ignition testing system for rapid determination of asphalt binder content in hot mix asphalt (HMA) samples. Designed for asphalt plants, road laboratories and QC departments, it supports AASHTO T308 and ASTM D6307 methods and handles routine and large‑capacity samples.

High-capacity asphalt testing

• Accepts standard sample sizes 1,200–1,800 g and supports up to 5,000 g for high‑capacity testing and production control.

Precision weight monitoring

• Built‑in high‑precision electronic balance continuously monitors sample mass during the ignition cycle and automatically calculates binder content with ±0.11% test accuracy.

Advanced temperature control

• Combustion chamber operating range 200°C–650°C with default test temperature 538°C; programmable automatic temperature control ensures repeatable results.

Emission reduction & safety

• Integrated afterburner (650°C–750°C) with ceramic filtration reduces exhaust emissions (up to 95%).
• Automatic door‑locking system and selectable automatic/manual modes enhance operator safety and testing flexibility.

Smart data management

• Real‑time data monitoring, automatic endpoint detection, temperature compensation and RS‑232 connectivity for PC integration and graphical analysis.
