Cannon-Manning and Asphalt Institute vacuum viscometers
Used for determining the viscosity of bitumen at 60°C. Supplied complete with calibration certificate.
For determining the dynamic viscosity all the above viscometers have to be introduced in the 81-B0116/A Viscometer bath by the appropriate Holder: 81-B0117/H1 for Cannon-Manning models and 81-B0117/H2 for Asphalt institute models. Pressure regulator and vacuum manifold is also required. See accessories.
Viscometer bath is used in the determination of both the kinematic and dynamic viscosity. Used to maintain the
capillary type viscometers at a uniform temperature. The bath consists of a cylindrical glass vessel with a stainless steel cover with 50.8 mm diameter holes, motor stirrer, refrigerating coil with water connections, heating system, contact thermometer, external protection and insulating base.

Used for high-performance measurement of apparent viscosity of binders.
Standards ASTM D4402 AASHTO T316 EN 13302 ASTM D2196
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.
