AASHTO T-256.

High-Low Detector

Easy-to-use, one-person operation.

Lightweight aluminum frame construction.
Vertical-sweep visual indicator.
Optional simultaneous sound indicator.

The Hi-Low Detector (Rolling Straight Edge) is used for measuring pavement
planeness.

Lightweight aluminum construction for easy portability and

use at any test location.
Unique telescopic design for quick set up and storage during
transport to the field.
Direct-reading dial indicators eliminate need for conversions
or calculations during measurements.
Dial indicator vibrator system for accurate pavement
measurements.

Rolled by one person along a highway, airport runway, or bridge surface, the unit
detects, registers, and dye marks high and low areas that need to be ground or
re-rolled.

The Benkelman Beam measures the deflection of a flexible pavement under

moving wheel loads in accordance with AASHTO test T-256.

The indicator wheel detects high and low areas in the pavement surface, and a
large pointer scale, mounted above the wheel and immediately in front of the
steering handle, registers these areas in full view of the operator.Variations are
magnified 16 times on a vertical scale graduated in 1/8" (1 mm) increments, so
that magnified readings range up to 1/4" (6.4 mm), high or low.

The unit is designed for maximum operator convenience and accuracy.The unit
is made from lightweight aluminum and features a telescoping design to reduce
weight and storage space.The direct-reading dial indicator eliminates the need
for any conversion or field calculations and the vibrator system assures accurate
pavement measurements.

An optional battery-operated 9-volt bell-buzzer located near the operator indicates high and low pavement surfaces simultaneously with the visual indicator.

Specifications

Upon receiving the visual and audible indicator signals, the operator depresses a
button on the steering handle that controls the marking-dye discharge valve. Bright

ASTM D-2041 (Type F); AASHTO T-209, T-283.

ASTM D-2041 (Type E); AASHTO T-209, T-283.

Large capacity design to minimize segregation effects.

Lightweight polycarbonate construction.
Transparent top for visual observations.

Transparent lid for observation of sample.

Supplied with volumetric lid and vacuum hose.
Manufactured from strong, lightweight aluminum.

The Vacuum Pycnometer is a large capacity unit designed for use in determining
the maximum specific gravity of bituminous paving mixtures.

This smaller Vacuum Pycnometer is used in the Rice Test to determine the specific
gravity of bituminous paving mixtures with maximum aggregate size up to 3/4"
(19.1 mm).This 4.5 liter size will handle a 2,000 gram sample.The transparent lid
on the pycnometer allows the operator to observe the bubble release from the
asphalt sample during the test. A second volumetric lid, tapered with a capillary
bore, is provided so the unit can be used as a volumeter for determining specific
gravity of compacted bituminous mixtures.Vacuum is achieved by using the
accessory aspirator or laboratory vacuum pump.

The Pycnometer has a total volume of approximately 10 liters and will

conveniently handle samples of 6,000 grams to minimize segregation effects.The
unit is constructed of lightweight polycarbonate, with the upper half being
transparent for visual observations of the effects of the vacuum.
