SURFACE IRREGULARITY TRAVELLING BEAM DEVICE
Used to detect and check any irregularity in both bituminous and concrete road surfaces. The unit consists essentially of a 3 metre long beam fixed on two rigid wheels at the extremities. In the middle of the beam a sensing unit comprising a wheel connected
to an indicator provides a magnification of 4:1 and measures deviations of the surface. The deviations are shown on a scale calibrated in increments of 2 mm up to 10 mm and 5 mm up to 25 mm.
The beam is supplied as three sub-assemblies which are quickly assembled on site.

NON NUCLEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC DENSITY GAUGE, INFRARED TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The Electromagnetic Density Gauge is a non nuclear sensing device that allow field density real time measurement of asphalt. This technically advanced instrument for quality control allow operators to immediately identify spots with low pavement density and trigger corrective actions leading to more uniform pavements.
Density measurements are related to the dielectric property of asphalt in the first 40 mm of depth.
This instrument allow continous reading along the pavement to detect air voids or non uniformity.
The L-Shaped handle is provided to reduce bending over when performing many measures. Tests can be executed also at high temperatures, when the pavement is still hot (max 175°C).
The Electromagnetic densimeter allow:
- Pavement tests.
- Real time measurements, in a continous mode.
- LCD visualization of:
• Average density.
• % Maximum density.
• % Air voids.
- No moisture or temperature corrections are needed.
- Non Nuclear device, so maximum safety for operator
- Setting on a referenced test plate to check equipment stability quickly.
- Storing up to 999 measurement data records and RS-232 computer interface.
- Infrared sensor for an accurate measurement of the road surface (optional).
- Rechargeable batteries for 32h continous usage.
- Charging supply for standard 230V/50Hz or 12Vcc.
