High Temperature Kinematic Viscometer
For Kinematic Viscosity of Asphalt Binders, Cements and Cutbacks
AASHTO T201, ASTM D2170, ASTM D445/D446, ISO 3104/3105, IP 71
miniAV-HT is a fully automated, single-sample, benchtop viscometer for determining the kinematic viscosity of asphalts at 60 °C and 135 °C. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a 100-fold viscosity range at values between 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) and 10,000 mm²/s (cSt).
Meets AASHTO T201, ASTM D2170 and ASTM D445 precision requirements
- Developed specifically for asphalt kinematic viscosity testing at 60 °C and 135 °C
- Instrument temperature range: 40 °C to 150 °C
- Viscosity range: 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm²/s (cSt)* in 100-fold increments (easily covering the range of 5 separate manual glass viscometers)
- A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
- Includes adjustable sample preheater and heated waste lines
Simple, automated benchtop testing
- Automation provides an alternative to labor-intensive manual testing and reduces operator to operator variability
- VISCPRO® PC software enables one PC to manage and control up to four instruments
- User-configurable reports may be viewed, printed, saved and exported
- Up to 12 determinations/hour
Compact, convenient design
- Modular bath for easy maintenance access
- System fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical balance
Reduced maintenance and consumable costs
- Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage and disposal costs by 50%
- Operators physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration allows calibration at a single relevant test temperature and avoids the need for tube recalibration at other temperatures
- Instrument includes standard dual-solvent input
* Some upper viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type.
