All states accept the use of this gauge like they do the current nuclear gauges that meet these standards.

The EGauge follows the current standards for density testing like ASTM D2950 for asphalt and ASTM D8167 for soils. We take pride in continuously innovating to meet and exceed the needs of the evolving industry." Troxler continues, "By working closely with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), standards organizations like ASTM and AASHTO, and many customers we have been able to create yet another unique and impactful product." This means that anyone can own the EGauge Combo to conduct density testing!īilly Troxler, President and CEO of Troxler Electronic Laboratories, states that "my father founded this company 63 years ago based on the input of the industry thought leaders to fill an urgent need. Its low radiation design is so small and safe that the NRC granted exemption from traditional nuclear licenses. The EGauge Combo can do everything a Troxler 3440 can, like take backscatter measurements on asphalt and direct transmission measurements on soils. "It's nice not to have to use standard blocks and the best part is that we can own it without a license, radiation badges, or certifications." "The readings of the EGauge Combo are very comparable to our nuclear gauges," says Lance Johnson, the quality assurance manager at Superior Paving in Virginia. Since 1962, Troxler has led the way and its model 3440 density gauge is the industry standard for licensed nuclear gauges and is the most widely used nuclear gauge in the world. Nuclear density gauges have played an integral part of the road construction industry, enabling smoother and longer lasting roadways. The EGauge Combo does not require a license to own and opperate.
