AutoRice™

Description

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
