Statement of Work

This statement of work is for the purchase of a Bending Beam Rheometer used in AASHTO T 313 and ASTM D 6648. The Bending Beam Rheometer is used to measure deflection of an elastic beam. The results from this device will be used to provide stiffness modulus values and m-value for asphalt binder material.

Specification/Requirements

A. Bending Beam Rheometer Apparatus Designed and meets AASHTO T 313 and ASTM D 6648 test requirements.

• Due to space limitations and current configuration, the overall dimensions of the control unit should be no greater than

ₒ 29”W x 28”D x 22” H

• Temperature Range: 0 to -40 degrees Celsius

• Temperature Stability: +/- 0.03 °C, +/- 0.01 °C resolution

• Data Output: USB

• Meet or Exceed ASTM D 6648, AASHTO T 313

• Factory Calibration in accordance with ISO 9001

• Minimum Specimen Bath Volume: 1.33 Gallons(5L)

• Pneumatic pressure regulators to adjust pressure on main input line, air bearing and load shaft support.

• Provide a precision calibration kit which meets or exceeds ASTM D 6648 and

AASHTO T 313. This includes guage block, stainless thin beam, ¼” compliance beam, four 100 gram weights with NIST Traceable certifications, aluminum molds with seperators, Digital thermometer with probe and data storage management software.

B: Electrical Requirements

1. Operate on standard U.S. power systems.

C: Service & Support

1. Phone support of equipment installation and initial hardware/software set up as well as support initial calibration requirements.

Address: 1827 Jack Delozier Dr.

Sevierville, TN 37876

2. The Bending Beam Rheometer supplier must be capable of support through phone, e-mail, and network. Warranty for one year.
