The ATS Vacuum Degassing Oven (VDO Touch) removes air bubbles created during the in-service oxidative aging of asphalt binder by the PAV. This new and improved model maintains the same user-friendly features that the original ATS VDO was known for while incorporating updated software and touchscreen capabilities to enhance your testing experience. The ATS VDO Touch meets AASHTO R28, ASTM D6521, and EN 14769 test standards.
