Why is the asphalt industry soimportant?
• 95% of all US roads are asphalt-based
• 500 million tons of HMA are placed each year
• $8 billion of asphalt binder sold per year
• $60 billion highway budget
• $20 billion is spent on road maintenance
• Maintenance budget increases 9% each year
• European roads last approx. 15 years longerthan US

TSAR Software(Thermal Stress Analysis Routine)
• A tool for classifying the performance gradeof asphalt binders
• Calculates the critical temperaturecorresponding to thermal cracking
• Based on data from the Bending BeamRheometer (BBR) and Direct Tension Test(DTT)
![Page 10: Evolution of the Direct Tension Tester - Asphalt Technology perlov.pdf · Evolution of the Direct Tension Tester ... • Indirect Tension Testing • Soil and Asphalt Resilient Modulus](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051509/5adcb4d67f8b9a8b6d8be57a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Key Features of DTT
✔ Load frame is mounted diagonally - provideseasy access and serviceability
✔ Modularized frame design means load celland LVDT can be calibrated separately
✔ Verification specimen to qualify the system’saccuracy and performance
✔ Software includes Test Director, which guidesthe operator through the test

Chiller Fluid
• CF7 de-icing fluid
• Potassium Acetate solution
• 42% aqueous solution by weight
• Specific gravity = 1.24 +/- 0.005
• Supplier is Cryotech Deicing Technology
![Page 17: Evolution of the Direct Tension Tester - Asphalt Technology perlov.pdf · Evolution of the Direct Tension Tester ... • Indirect Tension Testing • Soil and Asphalt Resilient Modulus](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051509/5adcb4d67f8b9a8b6d8be57a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Chiller Selection Criteria
• Effective circulation of potassium acetatesolution
• Ability to cool large fluid volume (4-5 liters)
• Control temperature to +/- 0.1 ºC
• Chiller needs large circulating pump, internalheat exchanger, and sealed reservoir forimproved fluid flow
• Instron’s choice: FTS Systems
![Page 18: Evolution of the Direct Tension Tester - Asphalt Technology perlov.pdf · Evolution of the Direct Tension Tester ... • Indirect Tension Testing • Soil and Asphalt Resilient Modulus](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051509/5adcb4d67f8b9a8b6d8be57a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Steps taken by Instron to improvethe FTS chiller performance
• Replace the internal fuse with an externalcircuit breaker
• Replace the bottom tray with stainless steelfor corrosion resistance
• Instron to offer a Repair & Exchange Programfollowing the warranty period
• Educate customers on proper chilleroperation
