The Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer, Size 400, 9600-200000 Poise determines viscosity of highly viscous materials such as bitumen at 140°F (60°C). The user measures elapsed time for a fixed volume of liquid to be drawn by vacuum through the graduated capillary tube. Time is multiplied by the viscometer constant to obtain absolute viscosity. Measurement requires a minimum sample size of 3ml and a bath depth of 7in (180mm). Certificate of calibration is supplied with viscometer.
Neoprene rubber holders to fit a 2in (51mm) diameter hole are ordered separately.
Meets Test Methods:
AASHTO T202
ASTM D 2171

The Gilson PT-115 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer, Size 400, 9600-200000 Poise is the perfect tool for accurately determining the viscosity of highly viscous materials such as bitumen. This viscometer is designed to operate at a temperature of 140°F (60°C), ensuring precise measurements every time.
Using this viscometer is simple. The user measures the elapsed time for a fixed volume of liquid to be drawn by vacuum through the graduated capillary tube. The time is then multiplied by the viscometer constant to obtain the absolute viscosity of the material. With a minimum sample size of 3ml and a bath depth of 7in (180mm), this viscometer can handle a wide range of materials.
To ensure accuracy and reliability, each Gilson PT-115 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer comes with a certificate of calibration. This guarantees that the instrument has been calibrated to the highest standards before leaving the factory.
In addition, neoprene rubber holders are available for purchase separately. These holders are designed to fit a 2in (51mm) diameter hole, providing a secure and stable platform for the viscometer during use.
The Gilson PT-115 Asphalt Institute Vacuum Viscometer meets the test methods as specified by AASHTO T202 and ASTM D 2171. This ensures that the viscometer will deliver consistent and accurate results, making it an ideal choice for asphalt binder testing and asphalt testing in general.
