Discover our high-precision laboratory equipment designed for global infrastructure excellence.
In the realm of modern road construction and civil engineering, the durability of asphalt pavement in cold climates is a critical safety and economic concern. The Fraass Breaking Point Apparatus stands as the definitive instrument for measuring the brittleness of bituminous binders at low temperatures. As a leading manufacturer, Xi'an Zealchon Electronic Technology Co., Ltd integrates 15 years of civil engineering expertise with advanced sensor technology to provide "Information Gain" that traditional testing methods often overlook.
The Fraass test, standardized under EN 12593, determines the temperature at which a bitumen film of a specific thickness, applied to a steel plate, cracks when cooled and bent under defined conditions. This "Breaking Point" is a vital indicator of an asphalt's susceptibility to thermal cracking, a common failure mode in regions experiencing sub-zero temperatures.
Equipped with state-of-the-art CNC machining and supported by academic research from China's top universities.
Our production line features CNC lathes, milling machines, grinders, and argon arc welding, ensuring every Fraass Breaking Point Apparatus meets micron-level precision.
Developed under the guidance of professors from Chang'an University and Xi'an University of Technology, our instruments fill critical gaps in geotechnical and structural testing.
The "Xiya" trademark is a recognized symbol of quality in Shaanxi Province, having won numerous ministerial and provincial awards for technical innovation in asphalt testing.

Expert insights into Fraass Breaking Point testing and equipment procurement.
The Fraass Breaking Point indicates the temperature at which bitumen changes from a plastic to a brittle state. For road designers, this is critical to prevent thermal cracking during winter, ensuring the pavement remains flexible enough to handle contraction stresses.
Yes, our equipment is fully compliant with EN 12593 and comparable national standards. We provide calibration certificates that are recognized by global testing laboratories and government agencies.
Our apparatus uses a microcomputer-controlled cooling system (often utilizing solid CO2 or Peltier elements depending on the model) to maintain the standard 1°C per minute cooling rate, ensuring repeatable and reproducible results.
Standard units are often in stock. For custom configurations or large-scale civil engineering tenders, the lead time typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, leveraging our robust Xi'an-based supply chain.
