Non-Nuclear Density Testing: Revolutionizing Asphalt Quality Control

The construction industry is evolving fast and companies that fail to adopt modern, efficient technologies risk falling behind.


TransTech Systems is helping forward-thinking contractors stay ahead with innovative Non-Nuclear Density Gauges, designed to boost performance, safety, and profitability on every job.

TransTech Systems PQI 380 provides fast, accurate density measurements while eliminating the limitations of outdated nuclear technology.

Contractors across the asphalt paving industry are replacing outdated nuclear gauges with the PQI 380. It’s faster to use, easier to train on, and requires no radiation handling, licenses, or complex recordkeeping.

“If you extensively use nuclear densometers, the PQI could almost be considered the silver bullet. No more nuclear regulations or licensing to deal with—it’s easy to use and provides instant readings.”

With annual ownership costs under $700, the PQI 380 is helping teams reduce overhead, streamline quality control, and eliminate unnecessary risks—on everything from municipal roads to large scale paving projects.

Why Reducing Air Voids is Important for Density Testing


Reducing air voids by just 1% can extend pavement life by up to 10%. That means fewer repairs, lower costs, and less disruption to traffic and the environment.


Real Results from the Field


Paving Never Pauses

Neither Should Your PQI 380


The PQI 380 is powered by rechargeable batteries and uses no hazardous materials, making it a safer, greener alternative to nuclear gauges.
