Balanced Mix Design Frame
The Balanced Mix Design Frame provides the ultimate solution for a lab looking to perform the key new BMD tests IDEAL-CT, IDEAL-RT, I-FIT, and SCB. Additionally, it can be used to perform standard laboratory tests such as Marshall, TSR, and interlayer shear bond.
Standards
IDEAL-CT (TTI Method) — ASTM D8225
IDEAL-RT (TTI Method) — ASTM WK71466
I-FIT (SCB IL Method) — AASHTO TP124
SCB (LSU Method) — ASTM D8084
TSR — AASHTO T283
ISS (Interlayer Shear Strength) — AASHTO TP114
TxDOT (Interlayer Shear Strength) – Tex-249-F
Marshall — ASTM D6927, AASHTO T245
BS EN 12697-23
Key Features
-PID software algorithm produces servo-hydraulic rivalling displacement control
-Super stiff frame to minimise frame flex during tests
-Instant on-screen test results – no need to transfer data to a PC
-Analysis for IDEAL-CT, IDEAL-RT, I-FIT, and ASTM SCB
-Included in NCAT BMD machine assessment
