The method achieves this by the application of a vertical stress, typically 600 kPa via platens to a mass of asphaltic mixture inside a 100 or 150 mm diameter mould. Whilst platens are kept parallel and horizontal, the longitudinal axis of the mould is gyrated at a fixed angle to the vertical axis. During the test process, the height of the specimen is measured automatically and the mixture density and void content are calculated. Compaction data is displayed in real time (graphical and tabular) and is available for download to MS Excel™. The operator has the ability to choose whether to compact for a certain number of gyrations or until a target mixture density or void content is achieved.Applications: ±Compaction of asphaltic paving material to a target mixture density or void content. ±Assessment of mixture compactibility. ±SHRP Superpave asphalt mixture design. ±Preparation of cylindrical test specimens.Gyratory Compactor includes PCProduct Codes: 45-6750/01, 45-6750/02, 45-6750/06SpecificationsStress (kPa)600 nominal, 1000 maxMixture TypesWet and DryMachine Speed30 rpmAngle of Gyration0.2 to >2°Electrical Supply220-240 V AC, 50 HzSample Sizes (mm)100 and 150 diaCompressed Air Supply7-10 bar, 350 L p/mDimensions L x W x H (mm)790 x 995 x 1920Product CodePower Supply45-6750/01220-240 V AC, 50 Hz, 1 ph45-6750/02110-120 V AC, 60 Hz, 1 ph45-6750/06220-240 V AC, 60 Hz, 1 phProduct Standards:EN 12697-31 EN 12697-10 ASTM D6925 SHRP M-002 AASHTO T312Features: ±Configurable to comply with SHRP Superpave. ±Both 150 mm and 100 mm moulds can be tested without any modification. ±Automatic mould insertion and retraction. ±Cold mix (emulsion) materials can be compacted, with fluid collection facility. ±Data acquisition and control via host desktop PC. ±Export compaction data to MS Excel™. ±UKAS traceable factory calibration. ±Can accept moulds up to 300 mm in height.Product Specification: ±High stability steel frame with low flex and distortion. ±A 95 mm pneumatic cylinder. ±Safety gates with interlock. ±Specimen table. ±Accurate stress control via high precision regulator. ±High quality inverter for accurate speed control. ±Specimen height measurement via linear potentiometer. ±Highly durable wheels for ease of movement. ±16 bit control and data acquisition.Software: ±User-friendly, intuitive and reliable Windows™ software. ±2 methods of compaction - number of gyrations and target density. ±User guided step-by-step through compaction. ±Real-time display of current height, density and void content. ±Software communicates with the gyratory compactor via USB interface. ±Utilities included for transducer check, diagnostic routines and calibration.tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.com242Gyratory CompactionAsphaltGyratory Compactor MouldsUsed for preparation of compaction tests.Product CodeProductSample dia45-6750/10Mould and Platens100 mm45-6750/12Mould and Platens150 mm45-6750/15Mould and Platens slotted for emulsion mix150 mm45-6750/20Mould and Platens slotted for emulsion mix100 mm45-6750/21Mould and Platens for specimen temperature measurement150 mm45-6750/22Filter Papers (pack of 100)150 mm45-6750/23Mould and Platens for specimen temperature measurement100 mm45-6750/24Filter Papers (pack of 100)100 mm45-6750/25Spacer to compact 63 mm height100 mm45-6750/26Spacer to compact 63 mm height150 mm45-6750/27Split Mould100 mmGyratory Compactor AccessoriesProduct CodeProduct45-6710Automatic Specimen Extruder45-6715Manual Specimen Extruder45-6750/11Calibration Kit for internal angle lead45-6750/13Internal angle measuring device45-6750/14Internal angle measuring device with hot mix simulator45-6750/16Option for 300 mm mould height (cannot be retro-fitted)45-6750/172° angle plate45-6750/18Shear Force Display45-6750/19Specimen Temperature Measurement45-6750/28Air Compressorwww.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200243PavementAsphaltCompact Core Drill MachineThis compact and portable core drilling machine is designed to cut cores up to 200 mm diameter from concrete, asphalt and similar hard construction material.Compact Core DrillProduct Code: 47-6175Product Standards:EN 12697-27This machine is designed to cut cores up to 150 mm diameter from concrete, asphalt and similar hard construction materials.

The device measures the frictional resistance between a rubber slider mounted on the end of a pendulum arm and the surface to be tested. This provides road engineers with a method of checking the resistance of wet and dry surfaces to slipping and skidding, both in the laboratory and in-situ. It operates by a pendulum rotating about a spindle which is attached to a vertical pillar. At the end of the tubular arm a head of known mass is fitted with a rubber slider. The pendulum is released from a horizontal position so that it strikes the sample surface at a constant speed. The distance travelled by the head after hitting the sample is determined by the friction of the sample surface.

The rate of spread and application of the chippings and binder is specified for most applications. Test methods have been developed to determine the actual rate of spread and are described in British Standards.Rate of Spread of Coated ChippingsThe equipment comprises a tray 300 mm square which, when used in conjunction with a specially graduated spring balance, will determine the rate of spread of coated chippings in terms of kg/m2.The spring loaded balance will accept rates of spread between 4 and 16 kg/m2.Between 5 and 10 trays are positioned in the path of the spreading machine and after the machine has passed over, each tray is lifted, together with the retained chippings, by means of four chains. The chains are hooked to the spring balance and the rate of spread is read directly from the balance scale.Tray & ChainsProduct Code: 47-0012Product Standards:EN 12272-1, BS 598-108Comprising one 300 mm square tray and four chains.Spring BalanceProduct Code: 47-0011Product Standards:EN 12272-1, BS 598-108SpecificationsWeight (kg)0.8www.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200247Temperature & DensityAsphaltPercentage Refusal Density (PRD)Percentage Refusal Density (PRD) is defined as the ratio of the initial dried bulk density of the sample to the final density (refusal density) expressed as a percentage.PRD Split Mould & BaseplateProduct Code: 47-0450Product Standards:EN 12697-32, BS 598-104SpecificationsWeight (kg)10.7Spares/Consumables:Base Plate (47-0450/10)Vibrating HammerProduct Code: 47-0455/01Product Standards:EN 12697-32, BS 598-104Suitable for compacting asphalt samples.SpecificationsPower Supply220-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, 1 phAccessories:Small Tamping Foot 102 mm (47-0460)Large Tamping Foot 146 mm (47-0470)300 mm Shank only (47-0480/80)300 mm Shank complete with Tamping Feet 102 mm and 146 mm diameter (47-0480)tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.com248Temperature & DensityAsphaltDrying OvensProduct Codes: 78-1215/01, 78-1225/01, 78-1235/01, 78-1250/01, 78-0135/01, 78-0140/03225 litre two door and 100 litre single door shown in image.Product Standards:EN 12697-32, BS 598-104This range of bench mounted ovens is designed to perform most materials testing requirements and is an ideal general purpose oven.The ovens are constructed of mild steel with a powder coated exterior and an aluminium coated steel chamber which is both durable and corrosion resistant.
