Vacuum Pycnometers determine the maximum specific gravity in bituminous paving mixtures. The SG-16A and 18A models meet ASTM D2041 and AASHTO T 209 standards and are used with the SGA-5R Rice Shakers for Specific Gravity and Asphalt Rice Test. SG-16A 2,000g Pycnometer ensures accurate, specific gravity measurements. This precision-machined aluminum volumetric canister is 7.5x6in (191x152mm) IDxH and tests a maximum of 2,000g (4.4lb) sample, sufficient for mixes with up to 0.75in (19.1mm) aggregates. A transparent vacuum lid, tapered aluminum lid with a capillary bore, 3/8in (9.5mm) threaded sink aspirator with faucet adapter, and tubing 3/8x48in (9.5x1,219mm) ID x L are included, allowing the canister to be used as a volumeter for determining the specific gravity of compacted bituminous mixtures.
