GYRATORY COMPACTOR
PRECISION LAB COMPACTION
Gyratory
compaction
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
best
methods
of
laboratory
compaction
for
the
assessment
of
compactibility
and
the
manufacture of test specimens.
Compaction
is
achieved
by
the
application
of
a
vertical
stress
(normally
600KPa)
via
end
platens
to
a
known
mass
of
asphaltic
mixture
within
a
100
or
150mm
internal
Ø
mould.
The
longitudinal
axis
of
the
mould
is
rotated
(gyrated)
at
a
fixed
angle
to
the
vertical
whilst
the
platens
are
kept
parallel
and horizontal.
During
compaction
the
height
of
the
sample
is
automatically
measured
and
both
the
mixture
density
and
void
content
calculated.
The
compaction
data
is
shown
on-screen
in
a
graphical
and
tabular
format
as
compaction
progresses
and
it
is
also
saved
as
a
Microsoft
Excel™
compatible
format.
The
operator
can
choose
whether
to
compact
for
a
certain
number
of
gyrations
or until a target mixture density or void content is achieved.
Speed (rpm)
0 to 30 rpm (adjustable)
Number of gyrations
0 to 99999 (adjustable)

Internal Angle of Gyration
