Description

A bench mounted compression frame with motor and worm gear housed within the base unit. A limit switch is provided for the bottom limit of travel. The machine is supplied complete with load ring, 30 kN cap., incorporating stem brake feature to hold the maximum reading. For testing 6” dia. (152.4 mm) specimens, the 82-T1009/F load ring should be used instead of the 30 kN fit on the machine. All the load rings are provided with 0.001mm high resolution dial gauge, assuring a strict conformity to the standards. See accessories.
The stability mould and flow meter have to be ordered separately. See accessories.

Other testing machines are available to perform the Marshall stability test, conforming to either ASTM/AASHTO or EN standards.
