Anton Paar Rotational Viscometer

The ViscoQC 300R Rotational Viscometer by Anton Paar provides rapid, reproducible, high-temperature viscosity measurements, ideal for characterizing asphalt binders. This helps in developing temperature/viscosity relationships that estimate optimal mixing and compaction temperatures for paving mixes.

The ViscoQC performs multi-point viscosity measurements from 100 to 40 million cP or mPa/s with an accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.2%. The rotational speed range is fully selectable from 0.01 to 250rpm, and the user can select speed- or shear-rate-controlled tests based on their specific requirements.

All measurement data, as well as programming functions, are displayed on the 7in full-color touchscreen in an intuitive user interface. As many as 999 tests with up to 10,000 data points are stored in memory. Multiple languages are supported for data input and display. The instrument integrates into network Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or FTP Servers. The ViscoQC comes pre-assembled, and the setup takes just a few minutes. V-Collect PC data collection software is included and allows printing or exporting to a computer.

The ViscoQC Viscometer meets the requirements of ASTM D4402/AASHTO T 316 for rotational viscometer testing of asphalt when equipped with selected accessories:

• LP-82R, Electronic Temperature Device (EDT 300)
• LP-88, V-Curve Software Module
• SC4 spindle

Other accessories enhance the versatility and convenience of the viscometer.
