Windows® based companion to the Model 4140
and 4141 Gyratory
Compactors.
GyroPave is the software companion to Troxler's Model 4140 and 4141 Gyratory
Compactors. GyroPave provides a flexible and powerful tool to collect and
process densification data from the gyratory compactor.
GyroPave enables the user to manage multiple project files. Project files
contain compaction data loaded either directly from the compactor or from
stored compactor data files within the computer. These project files can contain
up to twelve samples with varying mix design parameters.
GyroPave can calculate the Superpave™ mix design properties. GyroPave
provides a number of sample worksheets (templates) and macros for Microsoft®
Excel® to automate a number of common tasks in the Superpave mix design
process.
GyroPave simplifies the design process by:
| • |
Collecting data from the gyratory compactor during or after compaction |
| • |
Automatically performing the mix design calculations |
The user can view, print, or graph the resulting densification properties.
For ease of use, GyroPave is configured into two distinct phases that are
in accordance with Superpave mix design procedures:
| • |
Phase 1: Selection of Design Aggregate Structure (DAS) |
| • |
Phase 2: Determination of Optimum Asphalt Content (OAC) |
GyroPave is not limited to designing Superpave mixes.
GyroPave also enables the user to perform field performance testing with the
compactor to ensure Troxler Quick QC compliance with Superpave. In addition
to the analysis provided with this program, the user can copy the height data
from the compactor to another spreadsheet.
