Description

The Kinexus DSR-III from NETZSCH  Analyzing & Testing is an entry-level rheometer for tasks in quality assurance with a unique concept for parameterization, implementation and evaluation of rheological measurements.
The following standard measurements include possible with the Kinexus DSR-III:

• Temperature sweep (T-sweep)
• Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery Test (MSCRT)
•  Rapid bitumen typing procedure (BTSV)
•  Phase transition temperature of viscosity-modified binders (constant shear rate)

The results can be exported to other spreadsheet programs as a csv file. There is also an import function for existing measurement data.

The Bundle comprising

• Kinexus DSR-III 20N Asphalt with plate environmental controller with active hood (-5…150°C), heat exchanger, upper plate Ø25mm (AASHTO T315-12), lower plate pedestal Ø25mm, high temp std Canon oil and DSR silicone rubber mold set
• 20-44405 – Kinexus DSR-III rheometer platform 20N NF Asphalt Rheometer system to meet requirements for Quality Control testing. A modular rheometer with true ‘plug and play’ functionality for all measuring systems and environmental control units. Combined with rSpace software, Kinexus enables pioneering Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) driven rheological testing. The Kinexus rheometer also has advanced dual-action capabilities for both shear and vertical (or axial) testing. DSR rSpace software configured to AASHTO requirements.
• 20-44402E – Kinexus plate environmental controller with active hood for temperature control. Designed for optimized thermal control and minimal sample thermal gradients. Inlet for inert gas feed into sample environment. For use with plate, and cone and plate measurement geometries over the temperature range -5 to 150°C. Note that for operation at temperatures below -5°C, a refrigerated circulator is required. Includes ‘Interchangeable solvent trap plate lower pedestal 61mm’. Plug and play functionality – designed around a quick-connect cartridge; all mechanical, power, communication and fluid connections made instantly; auto-recognition and configuration. Kinexus active hood plate cartridge incorporates interchangeable lower plates to optimize measurement set-up for different sample types using a quick-connect engagement and release mechanism.
• 20-44403 – Kinexus heat exchanger. Designed specifically to work with plate and cylinder cartridges for maximum thermal efficiency and direct control via the instrument. Includes 2 x 700 ml bottles of Coolant fluid 20-44403E10 and heat expansion vessel
