PRESSURE
NOTE
To ensure proper compactor operation, calibrate the
angle as described in Chapter 4 after changing the ram
pressure.
The Model 5850v2 ram pressure can be set between 200 and
1000 kPa. To set the ram pressure, press 5 from the Change
Settings menu shown on page 3–4. The compactor displays:
Input Compaction
Pressure (kPa)
600
Press <ENTER>
Use the number keys to enter the desired ram pressure (from 200 to
1000 kPa). Use the NO/CE key to backspace. Press ENTER.
The display returns to the Change Settings menu.
MOLD DIAMETER
CAUTION
Ensure that the mold diameter selected in the compactor
software is correct for the mold size in use before
compacting a specimen. Failure to select the proper
mold diameter in the software can cause erroneous
compaction results or equipment damage.
NOTE
To ensure proper compactor operation, calibrate the
compaction pressure and specimen height as described
in Chapter 4 after changing the mold diameter.
The Model 5850v2 can produce 150-mm, 100-mm, or 4-inch
asphalt specimens.
