Introduction
The Humboldt H-1322B, Marshall and TSR Compression Machine, is a state-of-the-art
apparatus specifically designed for Marshall and TSR testing. These tests can be used
to evaluate the relative quality of materials, as well as generate input for pavement
design or pavement evaluation and analysis. The microprocessor-based system
incorporates a 16-bit Analog to Digital (A to D) converter with chart recorder output and
RS232 computer connection capabilities. The system automatically tests and records
Marshall stability and plastic flow of Bituminous mixture on one chart with an accuracy
to less than 1 percent over the total range, eliminating operator error in dial readings
and manual recording of data.
Meets ASTM D6927, D4123-82; AASHTO T245, T283, BS 598-107.
Overall dimensions are: 36" x 18" x 38-1/2"H (914 x 457 x 978mm).

General Information
Inspection
Your Marshall & TSR equipment was thoroughly inspected before it was shipped and
should be ready to operate as soon as you have completed the set-up procedure.
Notify Humboldt Mfg. Co. or your local agent and file a claim with any carriers involved
if you find any damage to the machine. Unpack all of the equipment carefully to prevent
