Evaluation of Petroscope for Automated Analysis of Aggregates
Record Type: DOT

Petroscope determines 3D imaging, and with the Techmodel statistical software and the Lithodata database software, engineering properties such as LA Wear, specific gravity, and mineralogy are determined. The automated system can return test results in 20 minutes; a labor savings and an increase in safety.
