DEKA, DENSUS, TRIPUS, EMM AND PRIMAL. FIVE APPARATUSES DEVELOPED AT THE NATIONAL SWEDISH ROAD AND TRAFFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Five laboratory apparatuses, developed at the Swedish Road and Traffic Research Institute, are described in the report: (1) Deka (designated SVE 176) for uniform division of granular materials; (2) Densus (designated SVE 277) for determining the bulk density of light weight clinker, soils and other road construction materials; (3) Tripus (designated SVE 177) for testing the strength of individual granules of light weight clinker; (4) EMM, earth movement meter (designated SVE 171/79) for measuring movements in roads and fills; (5) Primal, a portable profilometer based on laser technology for determination of the profiles of roads and other traffic surfaces.
