TE-BBR SD Thermoelectric Bending Beam Rheometer
In stock
The TE-BBR SD is a thermoelectrically-cooled bending beam rheometer for testing flexural creep of asphalt binders from ambient to –40 °C (±0.03 °C). A crack seal option provides for low temperature characterization of crack seal “creep” under load for 0.5” thick specimens.
The TE-BBR SD meets or exceeds ASTM, AASHTO, and SHRP provisions for flexural creep testing of asphalt binders, including ASTM D6648, AASHTO T 313, SHRP Binder Provisions.
Common applications include flexural creep of asphalt binders and low temperature characterization of crack seal under load.
Protect your investment and ensure your instrument continues to provide quality and reliable results for years to come with a CANNON Service Plan.
