SmartPave Asphalt Rheometer

The SmartPave is a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) based on the established technology of the Physica MCR rheometers. It incorporates innovative features like the Toolmaster™, a Peltier temperature device for dry sample heating, and a software interface that guides the user step-by-step through pre-defined measuring procedures. The SmartPave Rheometer takes asphalt testing to previously unattained levels of accuracy, comfort, and ease of use.
