The Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer, Size 100, 600-12800 Poise determines viscosity of highly viscous materials such as bitumen at 140°F (60°C). The user measures elapsed time for a fixed volume of liquid to be drawn by vacuum through the graduated capillary tube. Time is multiplied by the viscometer constant to obtain absolute viscosity. Measurement requires a minimum sample size of 3ml and a bath depth of 7in (180mm). Certificate of calibration is supplied with viscometer.
Neoprene rubber holders to fit a 2in (51mm) diameter hole are ordered separately.
Meets Test Methods:
AASHTO T202
ASTM D 2171
The Gilson PT-113 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer, Size 100, 600-12800 Poise is the perfect tool for determining the viscosity of highly viscous materials such as bitumen. This viscometer operates at a temperature of 140°F (60°C), providing accurate viscosity measurements even under extreme conditions.
Using this viscometer is simple and straightforward. The user measures the elapsed time it takes for a fixed volume of liquid to be drawn through the graduated capillary tube by vacuum. This elapsed time is then multiplied by the viscometer constant to obtain the absolute viscosity of the material being tested. With a minimum sample size of just 3ml and a bath depth of 7in (180mm), this viscometer is both efficient and convenient to use.
To ensure accuracy, a certificate of calibration is supplied with each viscometer. This guarantees that the instrument meets the necessary standards and provides reliable and precise measurements. Additionally, for ease of use, neoprene rubber holders that fit a 2in (51mm) diameter hole can be ordered separately.
The Gilson PT-113 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer meets the test methods specified by AASHTO T202 and ASTM D 2171. These widely recognized industry standards ensure that the viscometer's performance and accuracy are consistently high.
With its reliable performance and ease of use, the Gilson PT-113 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer is a valuable tool for any laboratory or industry involved in working with highly viscous materials such as bitumen. Whether you need to measure viscosity for quality control purposes or research and development, this viscometer is the ideal choice. Invest in the Gilson PT-113 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer to ensure accurate and reliable viscosity measurements every time.
