The Dynamic Shear Rheometer is used to characterize the rheological properties of asphalt binders, to investigate their viscous and elastic components using oscillation measuring mode. Also, the study of flow properties and determination of dynamic viscosity is possible in shear rate or shear stress-controlled tests.

Fast temperature control in a large temperature range is available, usingthe  Peltier temperature control unit. Especially at medium and high temperatures, which are particularly important for bitumen testing.

Further measuring systems, including cylindrical, cone-plate and
others.

Software for tests according to EN, ASTM and AASHTO allows:

  • Automatic and fast execution of all bitumen tests
  • Automated evaluation and analysis of results according to AASHTO
  • Estimation of Performance Grade
  • Different test types for original binders, RTFO and PAV
  • Grade Determination and PASS/FAIL conditions
  • Bitumen Wizard for computer-assisted test execution
  • Display and analysis of measuring data
  • Pre-set profiles for automatic test execution

Complete with Peltier temperate control, exchangeable basic plate
(Ø 25 mm), exchangeable basic plate (Ø 8 mm), measuring plate
(Ø 25 mm), measuring plate (Ø 8 mm), set of trimming tools rubber
moulds (Ø 25 mm and 8 mm) software.

The Rheometer requires to be connected to a PC, which is not
included.

Two models are available:

  • B085-07N Dynamic Shear Rheometer. Basic model as described above.
  • B085-08N Advanced Dynamic Shear Rheometer. As described above but with an additional double-side temperate measuring system and an automated gap resolution of 0.1 μm.
