Asphalt Rheometer: SmartPave

SmartpPave
SmartpPave
The SmartPave dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) is based on the technology of Physica MCR rheometers with the established EC motor system. SmartPave incorporates innovative features like the Toolmaster&trade, a Peltier temperature device for dry sample heating, and step-by-step instructions for measuring procedures according to AASHTO TP5. The SmartPave rheometer takes asphalt rheology to previously unattained levels of accuracy, comfort, and ease of use.

SmartPave and SmartPave Plus

  • Powerful, synchronous EC motor drive 
  • High-precision air bearing including patented normal force measurement sensor 
  • Patented Peltier temperature control designed for asphalt applications according to AASHTO TP5
  • Dry heating, no water flow around the sample
  • Fully automated temperature calibration
  • Toolmaster™: Patented system for automatic recognition of measuring system and accessories
  • Quickfit coupling: Easy, one-hand measuring system connection
  • Large working space for convenient sample filling, trimming, and cleaning
  • Ethernet connection for remote control of the instrument through the company network

SmartPave Plus - Additional features
