Digital Asphalt Thermometer

Digital Asphalt Thermometer

A Digital Asphalt Thermometer is a specialized temperature-measuring device designed for use in road construction and maintenance, specifically to measure the surface temperature of asphalt.

Key Features of Digital Asphalt Thermometer

High-Temperature Range: Can measures temperature from around -50°C to 550°C or higher. Most suitable for freshly laid asphalt which can exceed 150°C.
Fast Response Time: Provides real-time temperature readings to avoid delays during paving operations.
Infrared (Non-Contact) or Probe-Based: Infrared (IR) models Measure temperature without touching the surface.
Probe or contact models: Direct contact with asphalt for highly accurate readings.
Rugged casing and heat shields Provided to withstand high heat and tough environment situations.

Applications of Digital Asphalt Thermometer

Asphalt paving and rolling: Ensuring compaction occurs at optimal temperature
Quality control: Verifying temperature compliance with construction specs.
Maintenance checks: Monitoring surface temperatures for patching or repair work.
