Redevelopment of ARRB Elastometer

Written by Australian Road Research Board | October 27, 2010

The ARRB Elastometer has been the instrument of choice for determining PMB properties of bitumen for over 20 years and is the basis for the Australian PMB specifications.

We are very pleased to advise that ARRB has recently completed a redevelopment of the Elastometer to ensure it remains the instrument of choice for this important test.

Various hardware availability issues were the impetus for the redevelopment of the Elastometer, which has resulted in the following updates:

  • Upgraded data acquisition module,
  • New software program enabling operation in a Windows 7 environment,
  • Calibration, diagnostics and reporting programs included in software,
  • Operates on current PCs, which guarantees availability of spare parts.


Pricing for the updated Elastometer is now available, as well as an upgrade option for existing units.
