THE ULTIMATE CONTROL FOR YOUR RICE TEST
STANDARDS: AASHTO T209 | ASTM D2041
The AutoRice is an automatic control unit for the Maximum Specific
Gravity test. Rice test results are critical for pavement quality, mixture
design and laboratory mixture performance determination.
By pressing a button, the AutoRice starts the vacuum pump,
regulates the vacuum pressure, precisely controls the vacuum time
and monitors the shaker frequency and acceleration which is a
parameter that is not currently monitored during the test.
Monitoring the three factors during the test can help agencies and
contractors achieve better accuracy and repeatability. Data from the
Rice test can be downloaded via the USB port.
AutoRice has to be connected with a compatible vacuum pump,
vacuum pycnometer and electromagnetic vibro-deareator in order to
perform the rice test as per standards.
