The Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer, Size 25, 42-800 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-111 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer is a top-of-the-line instrument designed specifically for determining the viscosity of highly viscous materials such as bitumen. With its precise measurements and reliable performance, this viscometer is a must-have for anyone working in the asphalt industry.
This Size 25 viscometer is capable of measuring viscosity at a temperature of 140°F (60°C), providing accurate results even under extreme conditions. The user simply measures the elapsed time for a fixed volume of liquid to be drawn by vacuum through the graduated capillary tube. This time is then multiplied by the viscometer constant to obtain the absolute viscosity of the material.
To ensure the utmost precision, the Gilson PT-111 requires a minimum sample size of 3ml and a bath depth of 7in (180mm). Additionally, each viscometer comes with a certificate of calibration, guaranteeing its accuracy and reliability.
For added convenience, neoprene rubber holders are available separately to fit a 2in (51mm) diameter hole. These holders ensure a secure fit and easy handling during testing.
The Gilson PT-111 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer meets industry standards, including the AASHTO T202 and ASTM D 2171 test methods. These certifications assure users that their measurements are in compliance with industry regulations and guidelines.
Whether you are involved in asphalt binder testing, asphalt testing, or any other application that requires viscosity measurements, the Gilson PT-111 is the ideal instrument for you. Its sturdy construction, accurate measurements, and easy-to-use design make it a reliable tool for anyone in the industry.
Don't settle for anything less than the best when it comes to viscosity testing. Choose the Gilson PT-111 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer and experience the difference it can make in your work.
