The instrument is designed and made as per T0719 “Bituminous Mixture Wheel Track Test” in the Industry Standard JTJ052 Specification and Test Methods of Bitumen and Bituminous Mixture for Highway Engineering. It is a research type, and it can be used for colleges and universities, and scientific research institutes to make research on the resistance to rutting of bituminous mixture at high temperature. It can also be used for manufacturing companies and construction companies to determine the resistance to rutting of bituminous mixtures at high temperature.

Main characteristics:

1. It can be connected to any computer processing system using newly developed microprocessor controlling techniques by us.

2. It can make determination for two test molds at the same time with water immersion or without water immersion. The constant temperature case equipped with the instrument can preheat 7 piece of test mold. This saves a lot of time.

3. It adopts PWM mode for temperature control. It can simultaneously control:

(1) Sample temperature;

(2) Water temperature in the water case during water immersion test;

(3) Temperature in the constant temperature case

4. The constant temperature case is heated using outer circulation mode. The heating source connects with the case through pipes to form thermodynamic equilibrium, so the temperature is uniform.

5. It can display time-displacement curve and time-temperature curve at the same time. This provides experimental evidence on rutting characteristics of bituminous mixture for scientific research institutes.

6. It adopts a absolute temperature sensor for temperature collection, so there is no drift during long time test (this solves the problem of common thermocouple that the effect of drift on test data during long time test).

7. It adopts high precision A/D (16 digits) and D/A (16 digits) module to ensure good accuracy and high resolution for displacement measurement and temperature control.

8. Equipped with software, it can preset test time and test temperature as your requirements, and it can recall deflection values of any test molds and show them in real time.

9. It adopts wheel moving mode as its mechanical structure. This is the same as that of foreign products. The test data is close to the real condition.

10. The thickness of test molds is in the range of 0～100mm. They can meet rutting test requirements of different road surfaces.
