Marshall Stability Component Sets

Marshall Stability Component Sets are available with analog or digital components to adapt to Marshall Stability Testers. The high-quality instrumentation is used to measure load and deformation in accordance with ASTM D6927 or D5581 and AASHTO T 245 and T283 requirements.

Digital Set includes components needed to transfer and display ASCII file formatted data in Marshall Stability Testing when connected to a user-supplied PC. Products contained in this digital set include the HM-430D 10,000lbf Load Cell, HM-740 2in Linear Variable Displacement Transducer, HM-418 Two-Channel Data Readout, and HMA-401 Bracket with a 3/4in thread for Dial Indicator or Displacement Transducer. HMA-668 Readout Mounting Bracket to position data readouts is sold separately. Gilson's Data Acquisition Software can be purchased separately to obtain real-time testing data calculations and prepares reports in accordance with ASTM and AASHTO requirements.

Note: The Data Acquisition Software can only be used with digital component sets.

Analog Set includes the HM-430 10,000lbf high-strength aluminum alloy Load Ring with a factory calibration chart, 1x0.001in Mechanical Dial Indicator with low friction mechanism, and the HMA-339 Mounting Bracket for the Dial Indicator.
