Quartermaster® Asphalt Sample Divider

Quartermaster Asphalt Sample Divider quickly and accurately divides the large bulk samples required in Superpave specifications for quality control analysis. Asphalt and aggregate samples of 120lb (54.4kg) or more are easily quartered, ensuring representative samples for consistent laboratory results. The Quartermaster is versatile and has a proven history of significantly reducing bias in sample reduction.

The bulk asphalt or aggregate sample is loaded into the hopper. When the handle is released, the sample falls through the divider and is distributed into four galvanized steel sample buckets. The Quartermaster's rugged two-part steel construction stands up to field conditions and allows for easy cleanup and portability between job sites. Intermittent cleanup to prevent buildup on the exposed splitting surfaces is recommended.

Four bucket liner sample bags are included to collect and store divided specimens. Sample bags help reduce sample loss and make cleaning the sample buckets easier. The sample bags are made of durable cotton, with fabric and thread that are temperature rated to 400°F (204°C).
