The CANNON 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. Common applications include asphalt binders, asphalt cutbacks and asphalt cements.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
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
