Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of road material testing equipment, and in particular to a device for measuring the Marshall height after full-size compaction molding without demolding. Background Technology
[0002] During the Marshall molding process in the laboratory, the height of the specimens needs to be measured to assess whether they meet national standards. According to the standards, the height of the molded specimens should be controlled within 63.5 mm ± 1.3 mm. Newly molded Marshall specimens are not fully bonded together due to the high temperature, and their height cannot be measured directly after demolding. The Marshall mold height is 81 mm, resulting in a height difference compared to the national standard requirements. Before demolding, the specimen is completely embedded in the mold, making precise measurement with calipers impossible. Existing equipment uses a steel ruler; after molding the Marshall specimen, the depth on both sides of the mold is measured with the steel ruler, and the specimen height is obtained by subtracting this depth from the original mold height. However, this method often results in errors, leading to incorrect height judgments during testing and ultimately rendering the specimens unusable. Utility Model Content
