COOPER-VIALIT
COHESION PENDULUM
The
European
Standards
EN
13808
and
EN
15322
demand
this
test
according
to
EN
13588
as
a
basis
for
the
CE
marking
of
all
polymer-
modified binders for the intended use of surface treatment
Vialit
Cohesion
Pendulum
by
Cooper
CRT-VCP
is
a
testing
device
to
analyse
the
cohesion
of
bitumen
in
road
construction.
The
cohesion
is
one
of
the
measures
of
the
performance
of
a
bituminous
binder.
It
is
important
to
use
binders
which
have
a
sufficient
level
of
cohesion
according
to
the
level
of
traffic
to
be
supported.
Cohesion
has
originally
been
developed
for
surface
dressing
however
it
can
be
used
for
any
type
of
binder
(pure,
modified
or
fluxed)
which
is
to
be
used
in
different
types
of
road
applications.
Knowledge
of
cohesion
enables
the
choice
of
binder
type
for
given
traffic
and site conditions.
KEY FEATURES
•
Automatic security safety catch avoiding pendulum to crash after test impact
•
Incremental angle sensor in combination with a digital display resolution of 0,1°
•
24 cube and cube holder combinations, which allows an economic production of test samples (included)
•
Efficient
safety
system
in
compliance
with
EC
–
machinery
directive
2006/42/EC
which
allows
comfortable
handling
with
maximum
operational reliability
•
Module with built-in RS 232-port (allows the metering of test value via computer, retrofittable by user)
•
Software available for full automation of test
KEY USES
•
Bitumen
•
Bitumen emulsions
•
Flux bitumen
SOFTWARE
•
User friendly, intuitive and reliable windows software developed with National Instruments LabVIEW™
•
Results are taken for the binder under test, across the pre-determined temperature range and displayed in real time
•
Results are stored in a single Microsoft Excel compatible csv file
•
Previously stored data can be up-loaded to allow changes/additions to the tests already carried out on the binder under test
•
On–screen chart shows the cohesion vs. temperature curve which updates in real time as new measurements are taken
•
Translation of the software is available into most languages
•
Retrofittable on previously supplied pendulums
