I’m a complete beginner. Are there any online analyzers for asphalt penetration? And for the wax content in asphalt as well? 、
As a supplementary note, it is straight-drawn asphalt from atmospheric and vacuum distillation. Since the time required for laboratory analysis is too long, I’ve been imagining various possibilities; I was wondering if there are any online analysis instruments like that.
It is unlikely that there are any online analysis methods for asphalt penetration; firstly, such analyzers are used very rarely, and secondly, due to the need for mechanical operations, it is difficult to design systems for automatic operation, which makes the cost too high. For the asphalt wax content, online near-infrared or online nuclear magnetic resonance methods could be used, but the purchase cost of these two types of analyzers is very high, and it is also necessary to develop analysis models, which makes it impractical.
