The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a 100-fold viscosity range at values between 0.5 mm²/s(cSt) and 10,000 mm²/s (cSt). The miniAV-HT offers AASHTO T201, ASTM D2170, ASTM D445/D446, ISO 3104/3105, IP71 method precision. Common applications include asphalt binders, asphalt cements and asphalt cutbacks.miniAV FunctionThe miniAV is a fully automated, single-sample, benchtop viscometer for D445 testing. The Ubbelohde-style tubecovers a 100-fold viscosity range at values between 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) and 10,000 mm²/s (cSt) from 15 °C to 100 °C (withavailable options). Meets ASTM D446/ISO 3105 requirements.miniAV-X FunctionminiAV®-X is a fully automated, single-bath, benchtop viscometer with a 10-position sample handler for unattendedD445 processing. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a 100-fold viscosity range between 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) and6,000 mm²/s (cSt) from 15 °C to 100 °C (with available TE cooler).miniAV Series ApparatusThe miniAV series test apparatus consists of the same three major units: the Bath Unit, the external Power Supply, andthe Waste Receiver as shown in Figure 1.miniAV Series Quick Start Guide
