Overlay Tester Texas

Overlay Tester Texas

The Texas Overlay Tester (CS-TOT) was designed to simulate the expansion and contraction movements that occur in the vicinity of joints or cracks and which result in reflection cracking in overlays. With the  Texas Overlay Tester it is possible to characterize both the crack initiation and crack propagation properties of asphalt mixtures. Cox & Sons has developed the  Texas Overlay Tester which is a dedicated, state-of-the-art piece of equipment for carrying out this test.
