CALIBRATION SCHEDULE
The Troxler Model 5850v2 Gyratory Compactor is calibrated at the
factory, and requires no initial calibration upon receipt.
Troxler recommends the following calibration schedule for the
Model 5850v2. If calibrating the compaction pressure and specimen
height, calibrate the pressure first and then calibrate the height.
NOTE
To ensure proper compactor operation, calibrate the
compaction pressure and specimen height after
changing the ram pressure (see page 3–7).
PRESSURE CALIBRATION
See page 4–6 for details on pressure calibration.

Calibrate the compaction pressure every 3 months.
SPECIMEN HEIGHT CALIBRATION
See page 4–10 for details on specimen height calibration.

Calibrate the specimen height daily.

Calibrate the specimen height after calibrating the compaction
pressure.
ANGLE VERIFICATION AND OFFSET
See page 4–3 for details on angle verification.
Verify the angle as described on page 4–3 after every 800 samples
or once per year, whichever comes first. If the angle is more than
±0.03° from the target, use the
Angle Offset function as described on
page 4–12.
