X-Ray Fluorescence Device (XRF)

The X-Ray Fluorescence Device (XRF) has the ability to fingerprint key indicators of materials, such as asphalt binder, to ascertain their composition for use in quality control. The XRF is one of the devices employed in FHWA’s Mobile Asphalt Technology Center (MATC) lab. This video shows some tips and tricks that our crew have learned about the test along the way.
