GSSI PaveScan RDM 2.0 Asphalt Density
For sale GSSI PaveScan RDM 2.0 Non-destructive Asphalt Density Testing Equipment. An innovative asphalt density assessment tool that provides accurate real-time measurements to ensure pavement life and quality.
The PaveScan RDM 2.0 incorporates a new sensor design built specifically for the extremes of the asphalt paving environment, foldable deployment arms with high-visibility for work site safety and has a warm-up time of under one minute when ambient temperature is over 70° F. By detecting these problems, PaveScan RDM 2.0 helps to avoid premature failures such as road raveling, cracking and deterioration along joints. PaveScan RDM is ideal for uncovering problems that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density. By avoiding these problems, PaveScan RDM helps avoid such premature failures as road raveling, cracking, and deterioration along joints.
This system automatically measures the dielectric value to identify anomalies in real-time. In addition, the dielectric values can be used to as a means to correlate percent voids and density in new pavement. The innovative technology enables users to obtain critical density data for QA/QC of new pavements. Unlike other options, like nuclear density gauges or radioactive alternatives, PaveScan does not result in any site hazards or require closing off work areas.
Seamlessly integrating with GPS systems, PaveScan features a flexible, modular design that facilitates easy and efficient operation and data collection. It is offered as a single sensor or a three-sensor cart based configuration.
The PaveScan RDM 2.0 is our second-generation asphalt density assessment tool that is ideal for uncovering inconsistencies that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density. By detecting these problems, PaveScan RDM 2.0 helps to avoid premature failures such as road raveling, cracking and deterioration along joints.
