PQI 380 Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge
The PQI 380 Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge is a next generation pavement density measurement instrument by TransTech Systems, available across UAE and GCC through Burgan Equipment Co. The PQI 380 delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable asphalt density readings without the need for nuclear materials, licenses, or radiation safety procedures.
Overview
The PQI 380 Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge is fully equipped with a touchscreen and a user-friendly graphical interface running on Microsoft Windows CE for smooth operation, easy software upgrades, and enhanced user support. This non-nuclear technology eliminates the regulatory burden associated with traditional nuclear density gauges, removing concerns about badges, licenses, storage, and transport restrictions while delivering results in just 3 seconds per reading.
The PQI 380 is a proven and reliable solution trusted by road construction teams, contractors, and government agencies for in-place asphalt density verification during paving operations.
PQI 380 Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge — Key Highlights
Non-Nuclear Technology: The PQI 380 Non-Nuclear Asphalt Density Gauge uses electromagnetic sensing technology to measure asphalt density, completely eliminating the need for radioactive materials, special licenses, or transport documentation.
Instant Density Readings: The gauge provides asphalt density readings in approximately 3 seconds, allowing field operators to make rapid quality control decisions during paving operations without delays.
Full Color VGA Display: A bright full color VGA display with LED backlight ensures easy visibility in both light and dark field conditions, allowing operators to read measurements clearly at any time of day.
Customizable Entries: The PQI 380 allows customizable project entries and mix entries, helping operators organize data by project and asphalt mix type for accurate record keeping.
Multiple Reading Modes: The gauge offers 4 reading modes along with a diagnostics mode, providing flexibility for different testing requirements and pavement types.
Data Management: A dedicated data management screen allows operators to organize, review, and disable data logging as needed, with the ability to download data files via USB drive.
Rugged and Lightweight Design: Built with an aluminum shell for durability in field environments, the gauge includes reflective vinyl graphics for higher visibility during nighttime paving operations and a handle extension attachment for operator comfort.
