Wheel tracking device for the rutting test (rut depth)

Article number: 4.1002

According to EN 12697-22, BS 598:110. To evaluate the deformation (rut depth) of bituminous mixtures, which are exposed to several cycles of load entry through rubber wheels at a constant and controlled temperature.

Technical Data
Travel of the table: 230 ± 5 mm
Hard rubber tyred wheel having outside 200 mm dia.
Wheel load on the sample: 700N ±10 N (EN 12697-22) or 520N (BS 598:110)
