Samples aged by this method have previously been prepared in the condition they would be applied to the road.

At first a binder is aged using the RTFOT-Method (to simulate plant aging), than it is placed in TFOT stainless steel pans before beeing aged acc. PAV.

A film of binder is heated to a specified temperature, under a specified air pressure for a given period of time to simulate the changes occurring to the binder within the pavement during use.

Temperature range ASTM: +90°C to +110°C (+194 to +230°F)
Temperature range EN:      +80°C to +115°C
