Continuous inline measurement of apshalt-rubber binder viscosity

Continuous inline measurement of apshalt-rubber binder viscosity.



Continuous, in-line measurement of asphalt-rubber (A-R) viscosity provides a new window into the A-R process. This measurement can assure the binder is not under- or over-reacted, that dosing is precise, and that the processing system is performing to specification. In automatic blending control systems, viscosity measurement can be used as the process variable around which temperature, heating time, mixing time and the addition of additives can be controlled. This technical article from Fullbrook Systems goes into more detail.
