Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine (Product Code: SLE/CE/81) is a 50 kN bench-mounted compression frame used to determine the maximum load (stability) and flow values of bituminous mixtures in highway and civil engineering laboratories. Its data acquisition and control unit sets the platen speed from 6 to 60 mm/min, plots the test graph in real time and calculates stability and flow automatically. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

The Marshall test is a standard step in designing bituminous paving mixes. Compacted cylindrical specimens made at different binder contents are conditioned and then loaded to failure at a constant rate of deformation. The peak load is recorded as stability and the deformation at that peak as flow; plotted together with density and void results, they help engineers choose the binder content for a road mix.
On this machine the operator sets the loading rate your test method specifies within the 6–60 mm/min range, starts the test and watches the load curve build on screen, while the unit stores each result for later reporting. The hand wheel allows slow manual movement when the load system is being calibrated. Keep the platens clean of bitumen, check the limit switches before each session and run the frame on a firm, level bench.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, sources and supplies the Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine to highway engineering departments, polytechnics, road-testing laboratories, dealers and importers. It can be quoted together with the bitumen and mix-testing apparatus a Marshall laboratory needs.

What does the Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine measure?
The Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine (SLE/CE/81) determines the maximum load, or stability, and the flow value of bituminous mixture specimens. Its control unit calculates both values automatically and shows the test graph in real time while the specimen is loaded.
What capacity and speed range does the Marshall machine offer?
The Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine has a 50 kN capacity, and the speed of its lower platen can be adjusted from 6 mm/min to 60 mm/min through the data acquisition and control unit. Tests can run under displacement control or limited load control.
How many test results can the Marshall machine store?
The Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine permanently stores up to 10000 test results. Its CPU card uses a 32-bit ARM RISC architecture, with four analogue channels (two active for the Marshall test), 1/256000-point resolution and 10 data per second per channel.
How is the Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine calibrated?
For calibration, the Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine can be driven by hand through a lateral hand wheel. Whether a calibration certificate can be provided for the load and displacement sensors should be discussed with us when you request a quotation.
What safety features does the Marshall machine have?
On the Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine, limit switches restrict the up and down travel of the lower platen, and rapid platen positioning uses up and down buttons on the front panel. The motor and worm gear are enclosed in the base of the bench frame.
Are Marshall moulds and a breaking head included?
The listing for the Automatic Marshall Stability Test Machine describes the loading frame and the control unit only; it does not state which specimen moulds or breaking heads are included. Tell us your test method and specimen size and the quotation will confirm the accessories.
