SHEAR OPTIONS & PERFORMANCE TESTS
The Model 5850v2 can compact samples as tall as 185mm for use
with AMPT (Asphalt Mix Performance Tester). The compactor also
offers a shear option, either before or after purchase. This optional
feature includes transducers that measure the shear forces acting on
the specimen during gyration.
The Model 5850v2 also utilizes the Gyratory Shear Kit (GSK),
which turns any gyratory compactor into a shear-enabled unit
without the expense of purchasing the shear option. Place the 1.125”
tall device in your 150mm mold, fill with mix, and run the
specimen. The GSK calculates the shear moment at each rotation.
For more information about the shear option, or to learn more about
the Gyratory Shear Kit, contact Troxler at 1-877-TROXLER or visit
