Marshall Stability and Flow

Measures the load resistance and deformation of a compacted asphalt specimen at a controlled temperature.

Plain-language explanation

What the test tells you.

The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.

01

What it is

A conditioned cylindrical specimen is loaded diametrically in a Marshall testing head until maximum load.

02

What is used

Compacted asphalt specimen, temperature bath, Marshall loading frame, stability and flow measurement.

03

What it determines

Maximum stability load and the corresponding flow or deformation.

04

Why it matters

Supports asphalt mix design, production control and comparison with project requirements.

Typical test sequence

From sample
to result.

  1. 01

    Prepare and condition the compacted specimen

  2. 02

    Place it in the Marshall loading head

  3. 03

    Load at the specified rate and record stability and flow
