Asphalt Mixer Theoretical Density Meter
Model No.: SET – 1337
Standards: IS 1195 : 2002
An “asphalt mixer theoretical density meter” is a specialized instrument used to determine the theoretical maximum specific gravity (Gmm) of asphalt mixtures, crucial for asphalt mix design, road condition investigations, and quality management in road construction. It typically uses a vacuum method to measure the density. This tool helps engineers and technicians accurately assess the compactability and durability of asphalt mixes, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of road surfaces. By providing precise density measurements, the asphalt mixer theoretical density meter plays a key role in maintaining quality control standards and achieving consistent results in road construction projects.
Asphalt Mixer Theoretical Density Meter, designed in accordance with the ASTM D2041-03 Standard. This equipment is equipped with a Digital Timer and Digital Vacuum Indicator for precise measurements. The main body includes a vacuum transmitter, 2 vacuum containers made of acrylic pipe, and a vibratory table with a complete control panel. The vibratory table effectively removes air from asphalt samples placed inside the vessels. Operating on 230 V AC single phase 50 Hz, with a vacuum range of 0-100 KPA (0-750 mm Hg), this meter allows users to test 02 Nos. of samples simultaneously, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in density measurements.
The Asphalt Mixer Theoretical Density Meter is a versatile tool with various applications in the field of asphalt engineering:
- Asphalt Mix Design: Determining the theoretical density helps engineers design asphalt mixtures with optimal properties, ensuring durability and performance.
- Road Condition Investigation: Analyzing the theoretical density can aid in assessing the quality and compaction of existing pavements, identifying areas that require maintenance or rehabilitation.
- Quality Management: Measuring the theoretical density allows for effective quality control, ensuring that the asphalt mix meets the required standards and specifications, ultimately leading to safer and more durable roads.
The Asphalt Mixer Theoretical Density Meter is a precision instrument designed for measuring the density of asphalt samples. Key Features include a Vacuum Chamber, where the sample is placed to create a vacuum for accurate measurements. A Vacuum Pump is used to remove air from the chamber, ensuring precise density readings. The equipment also includes a Vibratory Table, which helps release any trapped air in the asphalt sample, providing reliable density measurements. This high-performing density meter is essential for ensuring the quality and consistency of asphalt mixtures in construction projects.
