Film Stripping Device (AIM 581)

Film stripping device is used to measure the resistance of bituminous mixtures to stripping of asphalt from aggregate particles. It is generally used to evaluate mineral aggregates & to judge the adhesion of the bituminous materials. The device consists of a disk on which 4 bottles are mounted. The disc rotates at a speed of approx. 100 rpm. The sample, usually the aggregate fraction which passes a 9.525 mm sieve but is retained on a No. 8 sieve, is placed in the bottles & agitated for 15 minutes. The percentage of aggregate stripped can be visually estimated. The device is provided with a pre set counter.
