- +3
- 360°
- Rheometer for research and development of asphalt and bitumen
- Illuminated sample area for perfect trimming results
- Upgradeable for tests on solid mastic materials
- Suitable for measurements of rubber-modified bitumen and at low temperature ranges down to -50 °C
The dynamic shear rheometers (DSR) SmartPave 92 and SmartPave 303 enable the performance of precise measurements on asphalt binder and bitumen. Features such as Toolmaster, QuickConnect, a Peltier temperature device for dry sample heating, and step-by-step instructions for measuring procedures according to AASHTO T315, AASHTO T350, AASHTO TP101, ASTM D7175, ASTM D7405, and DIN EN 14770 guarantee convenient operation. For measurements according to AASHTO T316, ASTM D4402, and DIN EN 13302, both instruments can be equipped with a Peltier-controlled measurement chamber for concentric cylinder geometries.

Key features
Two models for the whole spectrum of rheological asphalt and bitumen testing
The well-established SmartPave dynamic shear rheometers analyze unmodified and modified asphalt binder and bitumen within a wide temperature range, either according to standards or by means of classic rheological methods. SmartPave 303 meets the highest measurement demands across the board. SmartPave 92 is designed especially for the demands of quality control and routine measurements in asphalt test labs.
RheoCompass software
RheoCompass is a navigation tool that provides both a complete overview and detailed insights. It contains numerous templates tailored specifically to using the dynamic shear rheometer in the asphalt industry. The predefined test procedures include step-by-step instructions for all test types as defined by AASHTO, ASTM, DIN EN, and FGSV. Templates are regularly updated to ensure you always comply with the latest version of your standard.
Unique accessories for easy handling
The unique temperature control unit of SmartPave 92 and SmartPave 303 is the first Peltier heating system with heating elements above and below the sample – combined with the widest temperature range. Both instruments also include Toolmaster. The only completely contact-free automatic tool recognition and configuration system for rheometers, it recognizes measuring systems and temperature control units as soon as they are connected to the rheometer, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
Fully automatic temperature calibration
Temperature accuracy and stability are crucial in asphalt testing. Anton Paar offers fully automatic temperature calibration and verification routines via the RheoCompass software. The unique automatic calibration routine ensures temperature gradients <0.1 °C, tailored specifically for asphalt workflows using the SmartPave dynamic shear rheometer.
