Temperature measurement in asphalt
When laying asphalt, it is crucial for the final result that the materials have the exact right temperature during production. If the materials do not have the correct temperature, the asphalt does not harden optimally, which can result in lower quality and poorer durability.
Why measure the temperature in asphalt?
In addition to ensuring a good and durable final result, temperature measurement is important because asphalt plants are subject to strict quality control requirements. Temperature measurement of material can ensure that production meets the correct specifications. It also helps improve process control and energy efficiency.
By monitoring the temperature throughout the production, especially at the mixer and chute, substandard material can be identified and redirected. This ensures that only quality material arrives at the worksite.
How to measure the temperature in asphalt?
When performing temperature measurement in asphalt, high temperatures are involved, and it is therefore important to have the right tools developed for the purpose. With infrared temperature measurement, you can safely and accurately measure the temperature and thus ensure the quality of production.
RT8A for efficient, infrared temperature measurement in asphalt
RT8A from AMATEK Land is a non-contact, infrared thermometer suitable for temperature measurement in asphalt. The thermometer helps asphalt paving and road stone manufacturers meet governmental, national, and environmental quality requirements.
The non-contact, infrared technology provides faster and more accurate measurement compared to other thermocouple technologies, ensuring product quality. Additionally, RT8A is easy to integrate into a wide range of recorders and controllers.
RT8A measures the temperature of materials throughout the production process, helping manufacturers comply with quality assurance schemes, so all material leaving the site is within specifications.
Easy integration with all applications
RT8A is specially designed for all applications within the asphalt paving and road stone industry. With a linear, industry-standard 4-20mA output signal, the infrared thermometer can easily be connected with all types of affordable indicators, controllers, and recorders.
Fast and contactless temperature measurement
Unlike traditional thermocouples, RT8A offers a fast-response temperature measurement, providing better control. Since RT8A never comes into contact with the product, it avoids the damage and wear that can otherwise lead to constant replacement or repair of the thermometer.
Significant savings and increased production speed
RT8A measures the material’s temperature during production accurately and reliably, which can improve process control and thus provide significant savings. These precision measurements also ensure quality, increasing production speed.
