Gilson's full-feature Vibro-Deairator is designed for con-
sistent 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 or SG-17 pycnometers.
Order SGA-7 Adapter Set for use with SG-15 Pycnom-
eter. 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. Af-
ter 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),
