ACV Apparatus

ACV Apparatus 42-4300

This kit includes a 150 mm nominal diameter steel cylinder, plunger, and base plate, all supplied with a metal measure and tamping rod for complete and accurate testing.

Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge

Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge 47-1000

Featuring a full-color, graphics-driven user interface, this system comes equipped with a 480 x 640 VGA touch screen display with an LED backlight for clear visibility.

The new status bar displays GPS information, battery voltage, low battery alerts, and date and time for added convenience.

Built with durability in mind, the rugged case is constructed from 0.90″ 5052 aluminum, powder-coated in gloss black with green reflective vinyl graphics, improving driver awareness during nighttime roadwork.

The new Data Management feature allows you to quickly access, download, or delete project data, and files can be easily uploaded or downloaded via a USB drive.

This tool delivers fast, reliable, and accurate readings in real-time. It’s user-friendly, efficient, and a cost-effective solution for any crew member, without the need for badges, licenses, or concerns about storage and transport.

Aggregate Impact Value Apparatus

Aggregate Impact Value Apparatus 42-4005

This apparatus is engineered for heavy-duty use, featuring specially hardened steel surfaces to minimize wear. Its assembly is heavily plated for corrosion resistance and includes a rigid frame with a quick-release trigger mechanism, ensuring an effective free fall of the hammer upon release.

A built-in counter automatically tracks the number of blows delivered, providing precise control during testing. The apparatus comes complete with a 75 mm diameter by 50 mm deep cylindrical measure, along with a 16 mm diameter by 600 mm long steel tamping rod.

Compliant with BS 812-112 standards.

Los Angeles Abrasion Machine

Los Angeles Abrasion Machine 42-5310/01

This machine features a closed, hollow cylindrical steel drum that rotates around its horizontal axis on ball bearing units, securely mounted on a robust base framework. The full enclosure minimizes noise during operation.

Driven by an electric motor and gearbox unit, the drum operates at speeds between 30 and 33 RPM via an enclosed belt drive system. Inside the drum, a full-length steel shelf is installed, accessible through a dust-proof opening.

The cylinder includes a removable internal shelf, with one shelf position designed to comply with AS, ASTM and EN test standards.

Operator-friendly controls are conveniently located on the right side of the machine at a comfortable height. The machine is equipped with start and stop push buttons, along with a subtracting revolution counter, allowing users to preset the number of revolutions for automatic stopping.

Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester

Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester 42-6000

The Pendulum Skid Resistance Tester is a vital tool for assessing road surface friction.

This device measures the frictional resistance between a rubber slider, mounted on the end of a pendulum arm, and the surface being tested. It provides road engineers with a reliable method for evaluating the slip and skid resistance of both wet and dry surfaces, applicable in laboratory settings and field conditions.

The tester operates with a pendulum that rotates around a spindle attached to a vertical pillar. A head of known mass at the end of the tubular arm is fitted with a rubber slider. The pendulum is released from a horizontal position, striking the sample surface at a constant speed. The distance traveled by the head after impact indicates the frictional characteristics of the sample surface.
