Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge

Product Code

UTAS–2160

Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge

Standards

ASTM D7113; AASTHO T 243-12


Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge is used for determination of density of asphalt specimens with non nuclear method. UTAS-2160 is equipped with a touch screen and user friendly graphical menu interface, running Microsoft Windows silently in the background for flawless operation, easy software are upgrades and enhanced user support.

The instrument general specifications are;

  • -Full color graphics driven interface, 480 x 640 VGA touch screen display with LED backlight for easy visibility.
  • -Displays GPS status, available battery voltage, low battery and date/time,
  • -Rugged case design made from aluminum, powder-coated gloss black with orange reflective vinyl graphics increasing driver awareness to road workers at night
  • -Data Management Feature, quickly access, can be downloaded and deleted project data,
  • -Required files can be downloaded to UTS-1280 via. USB,
  • -Fast, reliable, accurate, and repeatable in real time, User Friendly and cost effective.
  • -The most important point is; Non-Nuclear means no Badges or licenses and no storage or transport concerns.
