The NCAT ignition oven has set the standard as the most serviceable and reliable asphalt content furnace in the industry. This furnace is designed to remove all asphalt content and leave the remaining aggregate dry and ready for testing.
Coupled with its proprietary afterburner technology, this oven is environmentally friendly and extremely cost-effective. Its no wonder that after over 20 years if service, this furnace is still the industry standard.
The Thermo-Fisher Scientific™ NCAT Ignition Oven was designed to determine asphalt content by burning off liquid asphalt from aggregate. The NCAT has a large heating chamber designed to test bigger sample sizes, and with our triple stack basket set, you are able to utilize all of its available size. The oven operates in an environmentally friendly way by removing harsh chemicals and instead relying on the ignition-method to determine asphalt content.
This unit burns off liquid content from the aggregate and weighs the sample constantly through the burn. When the % loss stabilizes the furnace begins beeping to alert the user to the completion of the test, and prints out a ticket that displays the results of the test.
The remaining aggregate is dry and ready for gradations after it is allowed to cool.
Your furnace can be serviced regularly by Gordon Technical, as we carry every service part in our warehouse, and are the leading knowledge center for the NCAT Ignition oven. We have rebuilt hundreds of units and can work on any model.

Key Features
Operating Features
Savings and Convenience
Larger sample testing reduces the total samples needed for testing each day, reducing labor and costs
The ignition method reduces testing time when compared to solvent extraction: a 1200 to 1800g asphalt sample can be tested in 30 to 45 min.
Internal scale monitors sample weight throughout the process, saving technician time and increasing productivity, as samples need not be removed and weighed
Standard 30A electrical service is used (50A service costs more to install and operate)
The modular design of refractory embedded heating elements provides extended service life and inexpensive, easy replacement
Safety
Compatible with:
Accessory start-up kit (AY1087X1)
Note:
The Thermo Scientific NCAT Asphalt Content Furnace, developed in conjunction with the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), set the industry standard for determining asphalt content by the ignition method.
This system was integral to the drafting and passage of ASTM™ D6307 and AASHTO T308. A 12-lab round-robin field test was conducted by NCAT exclusively with this furnace. Results and proven performance are documented by NCAT.
