• Marshall Testing is the most widely used method for measuring the load and flow rate of asphalt specimens. Gilson supplies everything from Marshall Stability Systems, to Compactors, molds, and more.
• Specific Gravity products and equipment comply with required standards and are used with the Rice Test in determining the specific gravity of asphalt and assuring the quality of asphalt mixtures.
• Asphalt Content Furnaces offer an accurate, efficient, and environmentally-friendly way to measure asphalt content in hot-mix asphalt samples.
• Quartermaster Asphalt Sample Divider separates large hot-mix asphalt samples needed in Superpave specifications for quality control analysis.
• Extractors, Filter Paper & Solvents determine asphalt binder content. Extractors are available in Reflux, Centrifuge, and Vacuum models.
• Asphalt Wheel Trackers accurately evaluate rutting, fatigue cracking, and moisture susceptibility for hot and cold asphalt mixes.
• Superpave Heavy-Duty Oven is built to handle the heavy loads and rough use from Superpave gyratory molds and large samples.
• Superpave Gyratory Compactors evaluate asphalt mix design while preparing compacted specimens for further testing.
• Asphalt Mixers are available in portable and industrial-grade laboratory models for thorough sample mixing and blending of materials.
• Draindown Basket is used in a simple test to find the level of binder separation during production, transport, and placement of asphalt mixes.
• Specimen Measurement tools include easy-to-use digital calipers and diameter measuring tapes for accurate specimen measurements.
