Rotational Viscometers

81-B0122/C with thermometer

Standard Rotational Viscometer

Used to measure the apparent viscosity of a binder.

Standards ASTM D4402 AASHTO T316 EN 13302 ASTM D2196

Rotational viscometer 81-PV0118/C
Description

 

Apparent viscosity of unfilled asphalt is evaluated by a rotational viscometer  which measures the torque generated by a calibrated spindle rotating at a selected speed into a bitumen sample heated at  precise temperature in the range between ambient temperature to 260° C. The measured relative resistance to rotation is converted, by a factor,  in viscosity units,  cP or mPa.s. 

Rotary viscometer matches ASTM D2196, ASTM D4402 and AASTHO T316 requirements.
