High-Precision Pavement TestingEngineered to deliver accurate, reliable measurements of water infiltration rates on-site, the Asphalt Field Permeameter Kit increases efficiency for engineers and technicians. Its analog display and marked level tubes streamline data collection, ensuring compliance with ASTM and IS standards. This robust kit is a vital tool for quality assurance in bitumen pavement projects.
Portability and Ease of UseWith its compact carrying box and lightweight (weighing just 5-8 kg), the permeameter kit is tailored for field operations. The manual control eliminates power dependency, making the equipment suitable for remote or challenging environments. Tool-free assembly and corrosion-resistant materials promote effortless maintenance and long-term usability.
FAQs of ASPHALT FIELD PERMEAMETER KIT:
Q: How does the Asphalt Field Permeameter Kit help measure the infiltration rate of water in bituminous pavements?
A: The kit works by using a metal permeameter ring set into the pavement with sealing putty. Water is poured into the ring from the graduated measuring cylinder, and the drop in water level is monitored via the analog-marked tube. The infiltration rate is calculated according to ASTM D3385 or IS: 2720 (Part 17) methods, providing high accuracy.
Q: What components are included in the kit, and how do they contribute to the testing process?
A: The kit comes complete with a stainless steel permeameter ring, a 1-liter graduated cylinder, sealing putty, a water level tube, and a durable carrying case. Each component supports accurate field testing: the ring holds water over the pavement sample, the cylinder measures volume, the putty ensures a tight seal, and the level tube tracks water movement.
Q: When and where should I use the Asphalt Field Permeameter Kit?
A: Use this kit in field conditions whenever assessment of pavement water infiltration is needed, particularly during quality assurance, construction, or maintenance phases of bituminous road projects. Its portable and manual-design makes it suitable for remote construction sites as well as urban environments.
Q: What is the general process for conducting a field infiltration test using this apparatus?
A: First, set the permeameter ring on the pavement and seal the edges using the supplied putty. Fill the ring with water from the graduated cylinder to the marked level. Monitor and record the rate at which the water level drops through the analog display or level tube. Finally, calculate the infiltration rate based on standardized guidelines.
Q: What are the benefits of using this permeameter kit compared to laboratory-based equipment?
A: This field kit offers immediate, on-site results without the need for electrical power. Its lightweight and corrosion-resistant construction enables quick deployment, reducing downtime. The ability to test directly on the actual pavement provides realistic data that better reflects in-situ performance than laboratory simulations.
Q: Is special training or electrical power required to operate the kit?
A: No special training is needed, as the kit uses a simple manual process detailed in the provided instructions. It operates entirely without electrical power, making it straightforward and safe to use in any field environment.
