New 2.0 Puck Testing Kits for Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation
Puck Testing Kits offer a convenient solution for measuring density without cutting holes in pavement. The kits include a calibration HDPE puck and tools for accurate thickness measurement. The updated software provides real-time dielectric results and alerts users on which test they are conducting. With a focus on precision and user-friendliness, these kits streamline the testing process for improved efficiency.

New 2.0 Puck Testing Kits Kyle Hoegh Mercedes Maupin Shongtao Dai mndot.gov
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! No Bulky Orange Box! Old Only field component required is the actual antenna, the rest is a standalone kit. Comes with calibration HDPE puck Convenient to keep right in the lab where production mix pucks are fabricated New Contractor or Agency can collect data PRIOR to dunking in water Get Correlation done as soon as air void content measured 10/8/2024 mndot.gov 2
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! No changes in puck fabrication, but renewed commitment to getting extremely accurate thickness of pucks. Puck dielectric has high sensitivity to thickness input Gyro minus Height, mm Remember to use Gyratory Compactor readout Gyro Readout (mm) 137.3 137.2 131.7 131.2 Height Gage (mm) 137.48 137.13 131.59 131.26 MnDOT will start confirming with thickness gage (regular caliper too sensitive to pressure) 0.18 -0.07 -0.11 0.06 10/8/2024 mndot.gov 3
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! New Old Data Information Tracking All previous values stored Only need to input values change Track all information to match other QA/QC tests. Project Level Inputs: Just fill in once then it s saved for the whole project typically File Level Inputs: Mostly just fill in once and update as needed, but some specifically tied to the current test Test Top, rotate 90 degrees, then bottom 10/8/2024 mndot.gov 4
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! Old User-friendly test Software Alerts which test you are on No more trying to time it up so you are switching things out at the right time New 10/8/2024 mndot.gov 5
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! Old Real-time Dielectric Result! Sensor Accuracy Check vs HDPE Check that repeat tests are similar Check that higher voids puck shows lower dielectric HDPE Observation: First HDPE test always too high then it levels off HDPE: 2.35 +/- 0.03 (2.32 to 2.38) New Puck Observation: Great Precision, typically within 0.03 10/8/2024 mndot.gov 6
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! Old Data Export All measurements already calculated with corresponding information in an exportable table New 10/8/2024 mndot.gov 7
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! New Data Input/Organization Update with Voids% after measured All results stored and organized 10/8/2024 mndot.gov
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! Old Matlab Executable Calculate Correlation Coefficients No Matlab Executable! Calculate Directly in Pavescan or Export Results and Calculate in Excel 10/8/2024 mndot.gov
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! New In Pavescan Calculate Correlation Coefficients No Matlab Executable! Calculate Directly in Pavescan or Export Results and Calculate in Excel 10/8/2024 mndot.gov
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! New In Excel Calculate Correlation Coefficients No Matlab Executable! Calculate Directly in Pavescan or Export Results and Calculate in Excel 10/8/2024 mndot.gov
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! Agencies That Have the Puck Kit Maine DOT North Dakota DOT Ohio DOT Alaska DOT Idaho DOT New York DOT Minnesota DOT Okay maybe not a car but you do get puck kits if you are part of the pooled fund and share all the data you collect! Let us know if you have a system but no puck kit Utah? FHWA? 10/8/2024 mndot.gov
Puck Kit: Laboratory Dielectric to AV% Correlation Let s get the DPS to measure density without cutting holes in the pavement! Summary New Puck testing kits can be kept on-site for convenient measurements Find Detailed Information in new Training Video: 1 antenna only thing required from field testing unit Provide self-contained data tracking, analysis, and file management More user-friendly Less opportunity to screw it up Real-time feedback Operating correctly Get correlation to field unit faster 10/8/2024 mndot.gov
