About LOSS ON HEATING OVEN
Compliance With Following National / International Standards:
IP 45, IS 1212, ASTM D6-90, AASHTO T-47
The loss in bituminous material when heated is called loss on heating of bituminous material. This test is done to determine the amount of loss of bitumen by certain heating and to determine the amount of water mixed in the bituminous material.

FAQs of LOSS ON HEATING OVEN:
Q: How does the Loss on Heating Oven determine the amount of volatile loss in bituminous materials?
A: The oven heats the bituminous sample at a specified temperature, causing volatile substances like water and light oils to evaporate. The decrease in weight after heating indicates the loss of volatile matter, allowing precise calculation of material quality.
Q: What is the main application of this oven in bitumen testing?
A: The primary function is to test bituminous materials for loss on heating, which measures volatile loss and detects water or impurities. This assessment helps ensure bitumen meets required standards for construction and road paving.
Q: When should I use a Loss on Heating Oven?
A: The oven should be used during quality control stages or laboratory analysis, especially when assessing bituminous samples for compliance with industrial specifications or before using the material in construction projects.
Q: Where can the Loss on Heating Oven be utilized?
A: This equipment is suitable for civil engineering laboratories, material research centers, construction companies, and bitumen manufacturing facilities. Its robust design and capacity make it ideal for professional and industrial environments.
Q: What is the process for conducting a loss on heating test?
A: A weighed bitumen sample is placed in the oven and heated at a designated temperature for a set period. Subsequently, the sample is cooled and reweighed. The difference in weight denotes the loss on heating, which reflects volatile and water content.
Q: How does the ovens construction benefit daily laboratory operations?
A: Fabricated from powder-coated or chrome-plated mild steel, the oven resists corrosion and ensures longevity. Its generous internal dimensions and sturdy design enable stable operation, easy maintenance, and reliable testing for large sample volumes.
Q: What warranty and support are provided with this oven?
A: The Loss on Heating Oven is covered by a 1-year warranty, guaranteeing prompt service and technical assistance. As an established supplier and exporter in India, the manufacturer ensures comprehensive support post-purchase.
