ASPHALT AND BITUMEN
ANALYSIS
Asphalt testing refers to a set of procedures and analyses that 
are conducted to determine the physical properties and 
performance characteristics of asphalt materials. Asphalt is a 
petroleum-based material commonly used in the construction of 
roads, parking lots, and other paved surfaces. Bitumen testing 
and asphalt testing are closely related, as bitumen is the main 
component of asphalt. Bitumen testing typically focuses on 
determining the physical properties and chemical composition of 
the bitumen itself. In the field of asphalt and bitumen testing,
ETLCO offers analysis of key parameters, including cone 
penetration, Distillation of Cutback Asphalt, Dropping Point,
