The Dynamic Shear Rheometer apparatus is used to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of bituminous binders, such as flow properties (shear viscosity from flow tests) and dynamic properties (viscoelastic modulus and phase angle from oscillation tests). The Dynamic Shear Rheometer apparatus is used to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of bituminous binders, such as flow properties (shear viscosity from flow tests) and dynamic properties (viscoelastic modulus and phase angle from oscillation tests).
Different testing temperatures, especially with low temperatures, are possibile with a rapid temperature control due to peltier thermostating,
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 with 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,
