PRINCIPLE:

Application of appropriate temperature and pressure on thin film of bitumen to simulate long term aging effect of binder samples. The PAV operates by applying heat and pressure to asphalt binder samples to accelerate their aging process. This simulates the long-term aging that occurs in the field, allowing for the evaluation of the binders performance over time.

APPLICATION:

The Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV) provides simulated long term aging condition of bitumen binder to simulate in-service aging over a 7 to 10 year period. The PAV is used to determine the long-term aging characteristics of asphalt binders. By simulating the aging process, it helps predict how the binder will perform over time, ensuring durability and performance in pavement applications.
