Designed specifically to prepare specimens for tests developed by the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), the PAV3 simulates in-service oxidative aging that occurs in asphalt binders during service and meets ASTM D6521, AASHTO R-28, and EN test standards as part of the PG grading according to Superpave. As the first PAV system to feature digital touchscreen technology and programmable test parameters, the PAV3 is unlike anything else currently on the market today. 2

3 the new PAV3 Each PAV3 consists of a vertical pressure vessel enclosed in a stainless steel cabinet with encased band heaters, a precision sample holder for the simultaneous testing of ten specimens, a set of ten TFOT specimen trays, pressure and temperature measurement devices, and a specimen loading and unloading tool. Test interruption or data loss due to power failure is prevented through an optional battery backup system, and the PAV3 s network-ready modem allows users to monitor and regulate their equipment remotely using a computer, tablet, or smart phone. At ATS, we know that great roads are important everywhere in the world. That s why our PAV3 software comes with pre-loaded language options in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Arabic. 3

4 system features The ATS PAV3 features exclusive new system components for user friendly testing and accurate results. Key System Features Benchtop design with integral pressure vessel Seven inch full-color digital touch-screen display Tilted screen design for greater visibility Network-ready modem enables the PAV3 to be controlled with mobile devices and PCs when connected to a network Programmable temperatures from 50 C to 150 C Programmable pressure duration from 1 hour to 99 hours Built-in timer to accumulate out of range time. Out of range time for the ATS PAV3 is typically less than 10 minutes during a 20 hour test. Data acquisition features include time, temperature, and pressure Data can be easily downloaded as a.csv file using the PAV3 s front USB port View real-time graphs from touch-screen computer Optional battery backup system prevents test interruption or data loss due to power failure or line voltage fluctuations 4

5 system features PAV Sample Holder The new PAV3 sample holder is one solid, sturdy unit with no assembly required. Leveling is made easy with the vessel s interior leveling ring, and a small bubble level between the slots further assures accurate verification. Increased Control Options The PAV3 features programmable temperatures between 50 C and 150 C, and between 80 C to 115 C the tolerance is well within ± 0.1 C. Pressurization is programmable from 1 hour to 99 hours. This enables AASHTO R28, ASTM D5621, and EN specifications to be met without any special programming, allowing greater freedom for research and development projects. Data Acquisition Temperature, pressure, and time data are collected throughout the aging process. This information is available to view in real time on the touchscreen display, in the form of raw data or graphs. Once the aging process is complete, a.csv file can be created and dowloaded onto a flash drive using the USB port on the front of the PAV3. The.CSV file can then be easily manipulated using Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet programs. Retrofits Available ATS can retrofit any previous version of our ATS PAV and upgrade it to a PAV3.

6 remote communication Ethernet connection is built into every PAV3, allowing users to connect to their equipment remotely. Once the PAV3 has been connected to a network, users have the ability to access their equipment using a mobile phone, tablet, or PC. Operators can utilize the PAV3 s network connection to download and install the latest software updates. A USB port on the front of the unit allows for user friendly software updates. Operators can also use this USB port to download their data onto a flashdrive. 6
