EASE OF OPERATION
The Model 5850v2 is calibrated and ready to use upon arrival. The
unit will compact asphalt samples to a specific height or a specific
number of gyrations, as selected by the operator. The angle of
gyration is recorded with every gyration, assuring angle stability.
As selected by the operator, the Model 5850v2 provides a
compaction pressure of 200 to 1000 kPa and an angle of gyration
between 0.00 and 1.50 degrees. Angle and pressure adjustments can
be performed quickly and easily using the keypad.
For ease of operation, the Model 5850v2 provides a fully automatic
method of compaction. The Model 5850v2 compacts an asphalt
specimen at the touch of a single key.
