78-PV33B05 - DWT Wet and Dry double wheel tracker. Conforming to AASHTO T324 and EN 12697-22 Small Size Device, air and water conditioning. Complete with both stainless steel and rubber wheels, PC, software and transparent sliding doors.
78-PV33D05 - DWT Wet and Dry double wheel tracker, to AASHTO T324 and EN 12697-22, air and water conditioning. Wheel load adjustable up to 1500 N. Complete with stainless steel and rubber wheels, PC, software and transparent sliding doors.
The wheel tracking test is used for determining the susceptibility of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to deform under load by measuring the rut depth formed by repeated passes of a loaded wheel at a fixed temperature.
This universal version complies either to AASHTO or EN standards being equipped with both stainless steel and rubber wheels, and performing the test in air or water. This solution is particularly suitable for research laboratories. This version can be upgraded with automatic system which lift one of the wheel from the specimen that has reached the rut target continuing the test on the other specimen. See Upgrading options Automatic wheel lifting mechanism.
The Double Wheel Tracker can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
Machine bodySheet steel, powder coated. Trasparent sliding doors.
Loaded wheel systemThis Universal model is fitted with double stainless steel wheel, 203 mm dia. x 47 mm wide, and double solid rubber tyre, 203 mm dia. x 50 mm wide. The wheel load is adjustable in 100 N steps from 700 to 1500 N (for 77-PV33D05-06 only). The system includes a motorized lifting system of the wheel assembly at the end of the test.
Wheel tracking carriageThe wheel is moved 230 mm backwards and forwards on the top of the slab, which is fixed. The speed is adjustable via the PC from 20 to 30 cycles per minute (40 to 60 passes). The longest slab dimension is oriented to the wheel's direction of travel. Special slab moulds for circular samples obtained from coring or gyratory compactors are also available. See accessories.
Temperature control systemThe AASHTO Hamburg type Standard states that the test must be performed in a water bath over a range of 25 to 70°C ± 1.0°C, whilst the EN requires either air or water environment. In both systems a water level of about 20 mm above the sample has to be maintained. Where a heated air environment is specified, the specimen, during testing, must be maintained at uniform and constant specified temperature ± 1° C. All versions fully satisfy and exceed the above requirements: the temperature accuracy is ±0.5°C.
Temperature controlled cabinetThe Universal AASTHO/EN versions feature an inbuilt temperature controlled cabinet for testing in air or in water, designed to avoid condensation problem (in water testing) and prevent overtemperature which may damage the mechanical parts or alter the transducer accuracy. Furthermore the system ensure thermal stability and provides rapid test start when the conditioned temperature has been reached.
Impression measurement systemEach wheel is fitted with linear transducer measurement system for deformations 0 to 50mm ±0.01mm.
