The Model 4140-B Gyratory Compactor is built to SHRP
specifications. It produces asphalt specimens that best
predict long-term pavement performance. The SHRP Superpave™
program uses specimen height from each gyration during the
consolidation cycle as the basis for asphalt mix design.
This information is not attainable from Marshall hammers or
any other laboratory compaction equipment. Automatically
measuring the specimen height during consolidation, the
Model 4140-B produces a densification graph that the
designer can use to produce the best possible paving
mixture.
The Model 4140-B is simple to run. Pressing a single key
lowers the ram, induces the angle, performs compaction, and
records data. Every specimen is compacted with a constant
consolidation pressure, angle, and rate of gyration,
providing consistent samples time after time. These
parameters are easily changed in minutes by following the
menu instructions.
