Wheel Tracking

Product Description

• The machine fully satisfies both EN 12697-22 and BS 598:110 Specifications
• Travel of the table        :     230 /- 5 mm
• Table cycle frequency        :     adjustable 15 to 40 cycles per minute
• Hard rubber tyred wheel having outside diameter 200 mm
• Wheel load on the sample    :     700N /-10N (EN 12697-22) or 520N (BS598:110). The load is applied on the sample through a lever
• The effective load applied on the sample adjusted by micrometrical weights positioning
• Continuous real time rut depth measurement (penetration of the wheel into the sample) through a linear transducer 40 mm travel by 0, 01 mm accuracy.
• The test frame is made of robust aluminum alloy and it is contained in a climatic cabinet with adjustable temperature from 30 to 65°C. /- 1.0°C.
• The cabinet is equipped with two doors with insulated glass for inspection
• The sample table has dimensions: 400 x 390 mm and can accept rectangular slabs of
• several sizes:
• 305 x 305 mm, 50 or 100 mm high
• 305 x 400 mm, 50 or 100 mm high
• 200 mm dia. core samples, 50 mm high
• The sample confinement frames are not included and ordered separately (see accessories)

• The machine is supplied complete with adaptors for a correct mould positioning and locking
• The wheel tracker is equipped with 3 temperature probes
• 1 Probe, connected to the thermo regulator, for the control and adjustment of the cabinet temperature
• 2 Probes for temperature measurement inside the specimen

• Data acquisition and processing system fully managed by microprocessor
• Multi functions keyboard with encoder for easy and rapid setup
• Large graphic display 320 X 240 pixel
• RS 232 port for connection to PC
