Ideal-RT Test Fixture

Ideal-RT Test Fixture determines the resistance to rutting (rutting tolerance) of asphalt mixtures at high temperatures. A 150mm dia. Superpave Gyratory, Marshall, or field core specimen is centered in the test fixture and positioned on the platen of an asphalt load frame capable of applying a constant load of 50 ±2.0mm/min until failure. After the specimen has been loaded to failure, the shear strength is calculated using the measured maximum load, and the Rutting Tolerance Index (RT_Index) is calculated using the shear strength value.

Features:

• Determines asphalt mixes' resistance to rutting at high temperatures
• Constructed of durable steel
