Durable and Rugged
In today’s ever changing and fast paced world, one needs equipment to keep up. The Model B was designed to stand up to the rigors of any asphalt lab. Rugged industrial electronics, few moving parts and a sturdy, tubular construction to keep the angle of gyration constant are just a few of the designed in components that ensure the best possible results –no matter how many moves it makes!

Easy to Use
Let the Model B make your life easier. The large, backlit display shows angle and number of gyration, specimen height and pressure throughout the compaction process. Once complete, data is transferred to your computer, where you can perform useful analyses with GyroPave™for Windows™software.
