Nuclear density gauges are specialized instruments used to measure the density and moisture content of various materials, including soil, asphalt, and concrete. They operate by emitting gamma radiation and measuring the amount that is absorbed or scattered by the material, providing accurate, non-invasive assessments critical for quality control in construction and engineering projects. This technology allows for rapid measurements without disrupting the site, ensuring materials meet required specifications for safety and performance.

Troxler’s RoadReader series, including models like the versatile RoadReader 3450 and the compact 3430 and 3440, provides precise compaction and density readings. Built for durability, these gauges offer features like backlit displays, GPS tracking, and data storage for easy field use. With compliance to ASTM and AASHTO standards and rigorous safety measures, Troxler nuclear density gauges deliver reliable, accurate measurements to ensure project quality and safety.
