ValiDator® I & II
Nuclear Gauge Calibration and Verification System
ASTM standard for gauges and block calibrations – ASTM D7759
AASHTO T310 (verification)
The ValiDator is patented, NIST traceable, & ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited technology that can verify your nuclear density gauge calibration at all measurement depths.
Others have tried, but InstroTek is the only company with the know how and the technology to develop this innovative device.
ASTM & AASHTO standards for calibration and verification of gauges via blocks and ValiDator:
- ASTM standard for gauges and block calibrations – ASTM D7759
- AASHTO standard for gauges – AASHTO T310 (verification)
Per the ASTM D7759 standard, gauges can be calibrated and verified by the ValiDator and should be done so every 12 months. Per AASHTO T310, gauges can be verified with the ValiDator within 12 months of being calibrated via “multi-block” calibration. From T310: “If the verification process indicates a variance beyond the specified tolerances, the gauge shall be calibrated.”

Smart-Jig™
The Smart-Jig is a completely independent testing jig with the first integrated load cell, electronics, and Bluetooth connectivity that makes capturing, reporting, and sharing data seamlessly.
SmartLoader™
InstroTek’s SmartLoader is a variable speed universal load frame that can perform a multitude of monotonic loading tests. The SmartLoader is perfect for Balanced Mix Design (BMD) testing and comes preprogrammed with a number of BMD tests, including IDEAL-CT (Cracking Test), IDEAL-RT (Rutting Test), IFIT, and LSU SCB test.
The Ignition Panel™(AASHTO T 308 & ASTM D6307)
The Ignition Panel™ is a front panel upgrade for the NCAT Asphalt Content furnace.
HWT-Pro™
The InstroTek HWT-Pro is a comprehensive verification and diagnostic device for the Hamburg Wheel Tracker.
eDry™ Asphalt Emulsion Drying Kit
The NEW eDry Upgrade Kit for the InstroTek CoreDry™ is the quickest and most effective method for drying asphalt emulsions.
Asphalt Roller Compactor
The Asphalt Roller Compactor (ARC), now available through InstroTek, Inc., is the first unit developed based entirely on an electro-mechanical system. The compactor does not require hydraulic fluids or air pressure, which allows the users to produce repeatable and consistent samples. The asphalt slab produced with this compactor is much more representative; with aggregate orientation similar to samples compacted in the field.
ACT™ Asphalt Compatibility Tester
The Asphalt Compatibility Tester (ACT) is a fast, straightforward method to evaluate the adhesion properties of asphalt binder and aggregates in the mixture.
SMART 503 Upgrade
The new SMART 503, a drop-in upgrade for your CPN Hydroprobe, dramatically enhances the functionality and performance of your existing gauge.
