The new Galileo units are said to offer high accuracy

2139 Controls and 3912 IPC Global are now offering new innovations in asphalt testing equipment and services.

The innovative Galileo and Galileo Research units are fully electromechanical gyratory compactors. According to Controls, the units offer a major advance in gyratory compaction. The units are designed to offer testing accuracy, repeatability, safety and efficiency. Both models use closed-loop control and patented orbital motion to compact specimens with a level of stiffness and angle stability that exceed the new requirements of AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, D7115 and EN 12697-31 standards.
