BROOKFIELD DV2T VISCOMETER The New DV2T Viscometer features a 5-inch color display to guide users through test creation and data gathering for fast and easy viscosity measurements. User instructions with multi-step test protocols can be created using the new Program Generator Software and uploaded to the DV2T through a USB Flash Drive. Test Data can be recorded directly on a local printer or sent to a PC. Viscosity range cP (mPa*s): Min: 100↑↑, Max: 40M Speeds (rpm): 0.1-200 Number of increments: 200
BUCHI ROTAVAPOR A rotary evaporator is a device used for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation. PTFE composite vacuum seal for long service life and effective sealing Space-saving modular design lets to add integrated vacuum controllers and run preset time/pressure gradients Motorized, quick-action jack raises and lowers glassware effortlessly Wide-range, PTFE-coated 4L heating bath, with digital temperature display, uses oil or water, 20 to 180C (68 to 356F)
HUMBOLDT DIGITAL MASTER LOADER The HM-3000 Series Master Loader Compression Testing Frame is designed for applications requiring multi-purpose loading systems. This Series has been designed to provide the basic functions required to carry out soil CBR and Hot Mixed Asphalt (Marshall) testing in a single instrument. It includes the following key features: Control of a stepper motor driven platen at speeds from 0.000001 to 3.000000 in/min
IPC GLOBAL SPT The AMPT is a computer-controlled hydraulic testing machine capable of subjecting a compacted asphalt mixture specimen to cyclic loading over a range of temperatures and frequencies. The device evaluates asphalt mixture properties to assess potential performance. Transportation agencies can use the AMPT to develop inputs for the structural design of flexible pavements and to obtain information helpful in monitoring mixes and performing quality assurance.
ROLLING THIN FILM OVEN The Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) test is used to measure the effect of heat and air on a moving film of semi-solid asphalt binder. The results of this treatment are determined from measurements of the binder properties before and after the test.
SARTRACKER To determine the resistance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to rutting and moisture sensitivity. The machine is designed to conduct tests under dry (in air) and/or under water (wet). Can perform wet or dry test with both wheels or run one wheel under dry and one wheel under wet condition simultaneously during a single test.
SUPERPAVE GYRATORY COMPACTOR The Superpave mix design procedure features the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) for compacting specimens of hot mix asphalt. The IPC Servopac is a servo-controlled multi-axis pneumatic loading system designed for the laboratory production of asphalt specimens having characteristics that closely resemble those obtained from such material as laid in-situ. The machine is a standalone unit which includes an intelligent controller and pendant with an integrated key-pad, liquid crystal display and printer interface.
CONTROLS SRL FILTERLESS CENTRIFUGE Used for rapid filter less separation of filler (ash) from binder solution coming, for instance. The centrifuge can also be used for binder recovery from an asphalt sample previously disgregated in solvent and poured into the funnel fit with 200 mm dia. test sieves to separate gradually the aggregates.
THE KINEXUX LAB+ RHEOMETER Kinexus is a rotational rheometer system that applies controlled shear deformation to a sample under test, to enable measurement of flow properties (such as shear viscosity from flow tests) and dynamic material properties (such viscoelastic modulus and phase angle from oscillation tests).
PRENTEX PRESSURE AGING VESSEL Performs accelerated aging of asphalt binder samples. 100% stainless steel pressure vessel, ASME Code stamped and registered with the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessels.
NCAT ASPHALT CONTENT TESTER NCAT Asphalt content tester consists essentially of a high precision apparatus combining a ignition oven to a continuous weighing system to monitor the weight decrease of the asphalt sample and, automatically, to determine, at the test end, the binder content and percentage.
DYNAPAVE 30 SERVO HYDRAULIC UNIVERSAL TESTING SYSTEM Dynapave30 Servo Hydraulic Universal Testing System is a servo-pneumatic dynamic testing system with a 30kN capacity to perform indirect tensile stiffness, creep, fatigue, triaxial on unbound materials and tests under load or displacement control. This system performs load or displacement controlled tests with programmable wave shape over frequencies up to 70Hz, simulating the traffic effect.
DESPATCH HIGH TEMP OVEN 4HD2-24-1 Dispatch lab ovens feature horizontal airflow, which delivers uniform heating across all shelves. A high-volume fan circulates air through perforated, stainless steel walls to create a constant horizontal airflow across all sections of the oven.
AUTOMATIC IMPACT (MARSHALL) COMPACTOR The apparatus automatically compacts the sample and stops after the preset number of blows. The mold is held in position by a quick and practical clamping device. The trip mechanism is arranged so that the sliding hammer falls at the same distance for every blow.
