The Breaking Head is used in Marshall Compression Machines and is a very important part of it as it helps in the accurate testing of asphalt samples. This is a component with space prepared for both 6” and 4” sample sizes; this component is central to assessment of material strength and stability for construction initiatives. Breaking head is a component of the apparatus which is made of two cylinders: the upper and the lower one, which have specific curves that suit the sample size so that the head is well in contact with samples when testing is going on.

Featuring guide rods and sleeves that allow for easy assembly, this tool ensures the absence of binding when in use, which is vital for consistent measurements. Used in asphalt tests, pavement design and in assessing the durability of the materials, the Breaking Head is an important tool for any materials testing laboratory. This guarantees durability to the equipment and can withstand constant use, which may be ideal for professionals who require stability and sustainability in their testing.

The Breaking Head has an upper and lower cylindrical section and has inside radius of curvature of 3 inches for 6 inch samples and 2 inches for 4 inch samples. This keeps Marshall testing process measuring perfect and accurate every time allowing for comparisons among the samples.

Lower segment is stood on a firm support and there are two perpendicular shafts out of which one is larger than the other. The upper segment has matching guide sleeves that enable smooth alignment without getting stuck or excessively sloppy. This helps in making sure that the two segments combine in order to form a single and reliable set of tests that can determine the accuracy of the results as well. Designed for use in testing and to withstand the tests of time, the Breaking Head is made mainly of steel materials that will ensure longevity of the tool.
