Asphalt pavements face growing challenges from heavier traffic, higher loads, extreme temperatures, and longer service-life requirements. This has increased the need for high-performance asphalt binders and mixtures.
To make sure these materials perform well, they need to be tested under controlled laboratory conditions. Superpave-based testing helps evaluate their performance and durability.
From binder aging and low-temperature performance to asphalt extraction and mixture analysis, the right testing equipment provides the data needed for better pavement design and quality control.
TBTSCIETECH offers a range of asphalt testing equipment for Superpave research, binder testing, mixture analysis, quality control, and pavement engineering.
High-performance asphalt cannot be evaluated through a single test. Asphalt binder and mixture performance changes significantly with temperature, aging, loading conditions, and material composition.
A comprehensive laboratory testing program may therefore involve:
Binder Characterization → Short-Term Aging → Long-Term Aging → Low-Temperature Performance → Rheological Analysis → Asphalt Extraction → Mixture Analysis → Performance Evaluation
It is used to determine the viscosity of asphalt at the stipulated temperature(Capillary Viscometer Method).
TBTBBR-1 Bending Beam Rheometer is designed according to AASHTO T313, ASTM D6648 and EN 14771 to
perform flexural creep stiffness of asphalt binder at the low-temperature condition.

The value of advanced asphalt testing equipment extends beyond individual laboratory tests.
By combining binder aging, rheological characterization, low-
evaluation, extraction, and mixture analysis, laboratories can build a more complete understanding of asphalt performance.
A modern asphalt testing laboratory may therefore integrate:
Testing Stage | Typical Equipment | Main Purpose |
Binder viscosity | Rotational Viscometer | Workability and viscosity |
Short-term aging | RTFO | Simulate production aging |
Long-term aging | PAV | Simulate service aging |
High/intermediate-temperature rheology | DSR | Rheological and deformation behavior |
Low-temperature performance | BBR | Thermal cracking resistance |
Binder extraction | Asphalt Extraction System | Determine binder content |
Mixture analysis | Asphalt Analyzer | Binder content and aggregate characteristics |
Mixture performance | Performance Testing Equipment | Evaluate rutting, fatigue and durability |
This integrated approach helps laboratories move from simple specification compliance toward performance-oriented asphalt engineering.
The development of high-performance asphalt is not simply about selecting a stronger binder. A binder that performs well at high temperatures may behave differently after long-term aging. A mixture with excellent initial properties may experience cracking after years of environmental exposure.
Advanced testing provides the data needed to understand these changes before the material is used in large-scale pavement construction.
For road authorities, contractors, asphalt producers, universities, and research laboratories, this means better material selection, improved quality control, and more reliable pavement performance predictions.
A high-end asphalt laboratory should not rely on a single instrument. Instead, it should establish a complete testing platform capable of covering different stages of asphalt performance.
A typical advanced laboratory setup may include:
PAV + RTFO + DSR + BBR + Rotational Viscometer + Asphalt Extraction System + Asphalt Analyzer + Mixture Performance Testing Equipment
Together, these instruments support the evaluation of asphalt from the original binder stage through aging, rheological characterization, mixture analysis, and performance assessment.
This integrated laboratory approach is particularly valuable for organizations involved in:
Superpave asphalt mix design
Performance-Graded binder research
Polymer-modified asphalt development
Asphalt mixture quality control
Highway pavement research
Asphalt plant quality assurance
University and research projects
Pavement material development
