Malvern Kinexus DSR for asphalt testing

Click2Contact

The Kinexus DSR is a dynamic shear rotational rheometer designed to meet R&D requirements in the asphalt sector, enabling optimal flexibility in rheological protocols and test capabilities.

Engineered from the ground up, the rheometer allows users to spend less time learning how to interact with their system and more time investigating ways to characterise and enhance a material’s performance. An innovative ‘plug and play’ cartridge system for temperature controllers enables all set-up to be performed in one simple step.

The product’s grade testing features comply with industry standards such as EN and AASHTO specifications. Its numerous measurement geometries are designed for rheological characterisation of liquid binders as well as solid asphalt cores.

The product features all modes of rheological operation, such as stress, shear rate and direct strain controlled oscillations. It provides the full sample history from the first step of loading onto the rheometer.

The innovative rSpace software interface offers flexibility of test set-ups spanning from sequence-driven SOP-type functionality to wholly customisable test designs. A penetrometer adapter enables automatic penetration testing of asphalt binders.
