3 New BBR3 Applied Test Systems entered into the bitumen / asphalt binder market in the early 1990 s with the introduc on of Superpave. We are the only manufacturer to offer a three part solu on to binder tes ng required to meet the PG grading requirements. We ve taken our many years of industry knowledge and combined it with the newest technology to ensure our users have the resources they need to not only meet their requirements, but exceed them. The ATS Bending Beam Rheometer 3 (BBR3) has been reengineered to not only perform flexural tests on asphalt binder and similar specimens per ASTM D6648, AASHTO T313, and BS EN 14771, but the programmable test parameters make this system ideal for other tests as well. A complete BBR system consists of a fluid bath base unit, a built-in touch-screen computer, a three-point bend test frame, an external cooling unit, and a two calibra on kits with carrying case MAX 1" HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT/LEVELING Applied Test Systems 3

4 Programmable Test Parameters System Status Indicator Lights Lights are red if a component has not been verified or standardized within the last 24 hours. If it is ge ng close to falling outside of that 24 hour parameter the lights will turn yellow promp ng the user to verify and possibly standardize those parts of the system. And if those components are well within tolerance the system status lights are green. The BBR3 offers a built-in computer. The 12 inch industrial strength touch-screen display is ideal for the newly designed so ware. Programmable test parameters allow the user to define a test and save those parameters for later tes ng. Predefined test parameters include the standard ASTM BBR test as well as the crack sealant test and the sliver test. Programmable test parameters include: Deflec on Plot Load Plot Bath Temperature S rrer Speed Specimen size Tes ng Times Load Tes ng Company Applied Test Systems 4

5 So ware Features Intui ve program design walks users through the test, setup, verifica on, and standardiza on process. The System Status lights let users know what system components need to be verified. If verifica on cannot occur, the so ware gives users the op on to standardize right from the verifica on screen.

6 Language Op ons Because great roads are important everywhere in the world, the BBR3 so ware comes pre-loaded with English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Russian, and Arabic. Applied Test Systems 6

7 Repor ng Features Repor ng Features include the ability to name your sample and enter any important notes regarding that sample. Data is collected twice per second. Users now have the ability to upload their company logo into their test report! Applied Test Systems 7

8 Remote Communica on Ethernet Connec on is built into every BBR3 and allows users to connect the BBR to the internet or network. Once connected, users have the ability to connect to the BBR3 with a smart device or PC. This also allows the BBR to connect to a wireless printer. For customers who prefer to connect to a printer directly, there is a USB port on the back of the unit to connect a printer to. New product registra on is available at Applied Test Systems. Go to h p://www. atspa.com/register/ to register your PAV3, BBR3 or RTFO-Touch to be no fied of any new so ware updates when they become available. So ware Updates: In addi on to the USB port on the back of the BBR3, there is also a USB port on the front of the unit to enable quick and easy so ware updates and upgrades. Register your BBR3 at to be automa cally no fied of any future so ware updates and choose your preferred method of delivery for all future updates. Applied Test Systems 8
