Absolute Kinematic Viscosity Bath

EIE Instruments Pvt Ltd offers an Absolute Kinematic Viscosity Bath. The following testing equipments are used to measure absolute viscosity of viscosity graded paving bitumen (IS: 73: 2006) at 60ºC in accordance with IS: 1206 (Part II) (similar to ASTM D 2171), which uses a vacuum capillary viscometer. It may be noted that any other viscometer such as rotational viscometer cannot be used to measure the absolute viscosity at 60ºC since the bitumen in non-Newtonian in nature at this temperature. The company is a part of the Tech-Mech Group, which has interests in manufacturing, marketing and calibration of scientific instruments and testing equipments for various applications. Professional marketing set up, strong commitment to after sales support, over 30 years experience in understanding and meeting customer's requirements and sustained emphasis customer satisfaction, has build a loyal base of customers in different segments of industry, research and education field throughout the country.
The complete absolute viscosity testing equipment conforming to IS: 1206 (Part II) method for testing tar and bitumen materials includes:

• Constant Temperature Bath:
  A suitable bath for immersion of at least 2 vacuum capillary viscometer tubes with a digital temperature controller. The accuracy of the temperature in the bath will be ±0.1ºC throughout the bath.
• Vacuum System:
  Capable of maintaining a vacuum within ±0.05 cm of the desired level. The system will consist of vacuum pump, moisture trap, vacuum regulator, bleed valve, all interconnecting tubing/piping, and any other accessory as needed to complete the vacuum system.
• Thermometer for Bath:
  Mercury in glass, range 37.8 to 82ºC, and graduations of 0.2ºC
• Timing Device:
  A stopwatch or stop clock capable of reading up to ½ second.
• Cannon:
  Manning Vacuum Viscometers - with manufacturers' calibration certificate, viscometer holder and silicone cork. Size 12 and Size 13 (one each) [Size 12 is suitable for testing VG-10 and Size 13 is suitable for testing VG-20, VG-30, and VG-40 bitumen.]
