AutoRice
The AutoRice is an automatic control unit allowing lab technicians to conduct maximum specific gravity tests with the press of a button. The unit ensures more consistent results by accurately controlling and monitoring the vacuum pressure, vacuum time, and shaker vibration frequency. Download data from the AutoRice via a USB port and either printed or emailed. Its compact design allows the unit to fit on a benchtop or mount to a wall and works with glass flasks and metal container setups.
- Controls and monitors Rice test (AASHTO T209 & ASTM 2041) vacuum pressure and vacuum time
- Reduces operator errors by automating test parameters; improving accuracy and repeatability
- Measures shaking frequency and acceleration to prevent stripping damage to the sample
- Automates saturation process for AASHTO T283 (moisture damage)
- Provides capability to enter weights and calculate max specific gravity results
- Replaces digital vacuum gauge used in Rice setup
- Stores test records (vacuum pressure, vacuum time, frequency and acceleration)
- Share test data via emailed for review
- Easy setup with menu driven software
