About Product :
Originally developed by Marshall Stability and Compaction Apparatus, a highway engineer in U.S.A later on standardized by ASTM. Generally, the test is applicable to hot mix designs using bitumen and aggregates upto a maximum size of 25 mm. In this method, the resistance to plastic deformation of a cylindrical specimen of a bituminous mixture is measured when the same is loaded periphery at 5 cm per min. This test procedure is used in designing and evaluating bituminous paving mixes. The test procedure is extensively used in routine test programmes for paving jobs There are two major features of the Marshall method of designing mixes namely. The Marshall stability of mix is defined as a maximum load carried by a compacted specimen at a standard test temperature of 60 deg.C. The flow value is deformation the Marshall test specimen undergoes during the loading upto the maximum load, in 0.25 mm units. In this test, an attempt is made to determine optimum binder content for the type of aggregate mix and traffic intensity. The apparatus consists of 1. A loading unit motorized, capacity 5000 kgf with two telescopic pillars and an adjustable crosshead Limit switches are fitted inside to control upward or downward movement of the pillars. On off reversing switch and indicator lamps are on the front side while a hand wheel to manually move the pillars minute operated on 230 Volts A.C.

The Automatic Digital Penetrometer is used for the determination of the needle penetration according to ASTM D5 standards. The penetration depth of the needle is determined with a pulse type electronic measuring system, which is separated from the plunger during the test, this allows the free  guidance of the plunger which virtually eliminates friction during the test.
Before each start of the test the measuring system automatically resets, and then the penetration needle moves down to the sample by using the electric drive, the needle position can be finely adjusted by using the joystick located on the front panel. A magnifying glass and an ultra-bright LED lamp are supplied to assist the operator; the plunger is then automatically released onto the sample and raised automatically after the testing period. The test result is displayed on the digital display. The plunger can easily be removed to calibrate its weight.
