  • Consistent, repeatable agitation for Asphalt Rice Test and other specific gravity determinations.
  • Variable vibration control allows for setting optimum agitation.
  • Automatic operation minimizes operator error and frees technician from hand agitation.

The full-feature Vibro-Deairator is designed for consistent shaking of Asphalt Rice Test vacuum pycnometers while freeing the lab technician. It is a useful deaeration device for specific gravity tests of fine aggregates (ASTM C 128) and soils (ASTM D 854), for sample preconditioning per ASTM D 4867 and AASHTO T 283. Built-in 0-99 min., 59 sec. digital timer has 0.25 second accuracy, vibration speed control, and a three position switch for manual or timed operation-all front panel mounted for easy use. Speed control allows setting of agitation to avoid stripping of asphalt. The SGA-5R comes with fitted top and bottom plates for exact fit with SG-16A pycnometer. Order SGA-7 Adapter Set for use with SG-15 Pycnometer. Use SGA-8 Adapter Set with GW-75 or GW-76 filter Flasks, SG-500 Volumetric Flasks, SG-24 LeChatelier Flask, or SG-2 mason jar Pycnometer. Inquire for fitting other containers. Special SGA-5RT has modified vibration characteristics to meet the requirements of Texas DOT.

Special "speed knobs" quickly secure the pycnometer. After a few loosening turns, they tilt and slide for fast removal. The steel case has rubber feet; no mounting is required. Overall Dimensions: 13x14x19in (330x356x483mm), WxDxH. Est. Ship Wt.: 20lb (9kg).
