 
 Loaded Wheel Tester LWT125For Measuring the Excess Asphalt in Slurry Seal (meets ISSA TB109 and 147A)IntroductionThe LWT is a traffic simulating device which produces the approximate compactive effort of one million vehicle passes in less than 25 minutes when loaded with 125 pounds (56.7kg) of lead shot weight.The best method is described in the International Slurry Seal Association's TB - 109. It determines the maximum asphalt content of a slury mix. The loaded wheel test is intended to compact fine aggregate bituminous mixes such as slurry seal by means of a rubber tyred reciprocating wheel. The test may be used for design purposes to establish maximum limits of asphalt content and enable the mix designer to avoid severe asphalt flushing under heavy traffic loads. Various accessory measurements may also be made during this test to study compaction rates and plastic deformation of mono and multiple layered bituminous mixture specimens.
