DPV® ASPHALT (230V)

Designed specifically for viscosity testing of non-homogeneous materials

• Meets ASTM D7226,D2397,D977 and AASHTO provisional standard requirements for asphalt emulsions
• Viscosity range: 30 mPa⋅s (cP) to 3,000 mPa⋅s (cP) in 100-fold increments depending on paddle selection
• Integrated heating measures dynamic viscosity at 40 °C,50 °C,80 °C,and 100 °C ± 0.1 °C. Factory calibrated at 50 °C.
• Digital display presents viscosity values in mPa⋅s (cP),mm²/s (cSt)
• Suitable for applications including emulsified asphalts,marine fuels,suspensions,slurries,foods,paints and residual oils

Improves data quality

• Automated sample processing and testing reduces dependence on operator for quality data
• Paddle continuously mixes the sample for greater sample homogeneity and more representative sample data
• Direct temperature measurement of the sample,rather than the bath,provides more accurate measurements and results
• Viscosity data is automatically calculated and may be transferred to an optional dot matrix printer

Eliminates laborious and tedious sample processing

• No sieving or sample pre-heating is required,just load the sample and push a button to initiate sample prep and testing
• Removable sample cup allows for quick and easy cleaning between samples
• Allows unattended sample processing – save time and labor
• Completes most tasks in 10 – 30 minutes with less messy post-test cleanup

Reduces safety risks

• No hot dripping sample or tricky cork removal; no glass components or accessories
• Heater cup thermostat senses over-temperature fault conditions and removes power to the heater until the temperature is at a safe level
• Motor shaft and paddle immobilization automatically disables motor power
• Easier to clean,reduces hazardous/chemical waste

Low cost,easily transportable design

• Self-contained,compact instrument with no ancillary equipment (e.g. ovens,water baths)
• Transports easily for field applications. DPV Asphalt is up to 1/7 the benchtop footprint and 1/3 the weight of the traditional Saybolt system
• Low overall system cost
