Asphalt Component Sets are available with analog or digital components to adapt Marshall Stability Systems. The high-quality instrumentation is used to measure load and deformation in accordance with ASTM D6927 or D5581 and AASHTO T 245 and T283 requirements.
Digital Sets include the HM-418 Two-Channel Data Readout, HM-430D 10,000lbf Load Cell, HMA-407 Loading Button, and HM-740 2in Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT) with HMA-401 Mounting Bracket. The readout features a large, bright display and four panel keys that allow instant taring and live data. the included GetData 5 software exports data via mini USB port to Excel® or similar programs for review, analysis, and reporting.
MSA-134 Marshall Data Acquisition Software, listed separately, works with MSA-860D to record specimen and real-time test data, calculate results, and prepare reports meeting ASTM and AASHTO requirements.
Note: The Data Acquisition Software can only be used with digital component sets.
Analog Set includes the HM-430 10,000lbf high-strength aluminum alloy Load Ring with a factory calibration chart, 1x0.001in Mechanical Dial Indicator with low friction mechanism, and the HMA-339 Mounting Bracket for the Dial Indicator.
