Dynamic Shear Rheometers (DSR)
The requirements for asphalt binder and bitumen, especially with
regards to their elasticity and flexibility, have increased significantly in
recent years. Particu
larly in road construction, new asphalt concepts
are being constantly developed to withstand the heavy strains
caused by the ever-increasing traffic volume. However, traditional test
methods are often not sufficient to characterize these innovative and
mainly polymer-modified materials.
So that modern asphalt and bitumen products meet the high
requirements placed on them there is a need for high-performance
instruments to investigate and analyze these products in both quality
control and during product development. The SmartPave
4ri ?92 and
SmartPave
4ri ?102 dynamic shear rheometers are able to analyze
unmodified as well as modified asphalt binder and bitumen in a wide
tempera
ture range, either according to standards or with classic
rheo logical methods.

Rheological property
determination of GTR- modified (ground tire
rubber) asphalt binders (AASHTO draft)
Asphalt binders can be blended
with ground tire rubber (GTR) to beneficially modify the
properties of the pavement in
highway construction. Determine the temperature-dependent rheological properties in an
appropriate temperature range
with a special DSR setup based on a concentric cylinder Peltier- controlled temperature device.

The best measuring geometry for
your needs
Depending on the test method a large selection of
measuring systems – parallel plate, cone-plate, and
concentric cylinder systems – are available.
Easy fitting of measuring systems
When changing between measuring systems,
QuickConnect provides great ease-of-use. The quick-
fitting coupling allows one-handed connection of the
measuring systems and ensures fast, convenient system
changes without a screwing mechanism.
A clear view of your sample
TruRay is a unique lighting concept only available for

and measurement surface. This is especially useful for the
correct and precise filling of the measuring gap.
25 years of experience in one motor
The air-bearing-supported synchronous EC motor deploys
a frictionless synchronous movement of the rotor inside
that enables the most sensitive and therefore most
precise movements. Whether investigating solids or
low-viscosity liquids your results are accurate across a
wide viscosity range.
Fully automatic temperature calibration
Temperature accuracy and stability are crucial in asphalt
testing. Properties of asphalt binders are highly sensitive
to changes in temperature. The smallest temperature
deviations result in vast differences in the measuring

control unit is the first Peltier heating system with heating
elements above and below the sample. Temperature
gradients are completely eliminated and the heating
and cooling rates are very fast. Test times are reduced
almost by half, while reproducibility is improved. Due
to the unrivaled asphalt chamber, there is no water
flow around the sample. You can work in a completely
dry environment. The annoying noises made by water
circulators and blocked water filters are things of the past.
Toolmaster™ – Automatic tool
recognition and configuration
Toolmaster™ is the only completely contact-free
automatic tool recognition and configuration system
for rheometers. It recognizes measuring systems and
temperature control units as soon as these are connected
to the rheometer so you don't need to enter any data
manually.
Easy-to-use software
The user-friendly rheometer software has been
designed specifically for the needs of the asphalt
industry. The software consists of predefined,
step-by-step instructions for all test types as defined by
international asphalt binder specifications.
