SINGLE WHEEL TRACKING APPARATUS

This machine is used in laboratory for evaluating the deformation (rut) depth of a bituminous mixture subjected to cycles of passes of a loaded rubber wheel under constant and controlled temperature conditions. To perform the test, a wheel tracking apparatus is used to simulate the effect of traffic and to measure the deformation susceptibility of the bituminous sample. Matest wheel tracker performs the test as per procedures A and B (6 or 2 tests), clearly specified by the EN Standard.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Accepts mould up to 500x400 mm, 180 mm high.

• Perfectly fit for slabs made by Matest ARC Asphalt Roller Compactor.

• Continuous realtime rut depth measurement.

• Three temperature probes for temperature control and adjustement.

• Automatic control of machine and test.

• Realtime display of: number of cycles, rut depth, temperatures.

• Realtime cycle rate also displayed when using a serial connection to PC.
