Stripping Value Apparatus

Stripping Value Apparatus Bitumen and tar adhere well to all normal types of aggregates provided they are dry and are not exceptionally dusty. This problem of stripping is experienced only with bituminous mixtures, which are permeable to water. This test gives the procedure for determination of the stripping value of aggregates by static immersion method, when bitumen and tar binders are used.

A circular tray rotates in a vertical plane at a rate of approximately 100 R.P.M. by an electrical geared motor. 4 bottles of approximately 400 cc are mounted on this circular tray at an angle of 900. To each other with their mouth towards center of the tray. A time switch is provided. Suitable for operation on 230 V A.C. Single Phase.
