Finishing Pedestal

This finishing pedestal is a specialized accessory for specimen-preparation workflows associated with Texas Department of Transportation laboratory methods. It provides a dedicated piece of equipment for facilities that need to follow the relevant agency procedure rather than improvising a general-purpose work surface. The item is most relevant to laboratories performing Texas flexible-base and related materials testing, where equipment configuration and preparation steps may be prescribed by the governing method. Because published product details are limited, laboratories should confirm the required geometry, mating components and current method revision before ordering.

Key Features

• The purpose-built pedestal supports specimen-finishing workflows associated with Texas DOT Tex-113-E and Tex-114-E methods.
• A dedicated finishing accessory helps laboratories organize a repeatable preparation station for agency-specific testing.
• Using equipment selected for the prescribed workflow can simplify setup and help technicians maintain a consistent specimen-preparation sequence.
• The specialized configuration is particularly relevant to laboratories that regularly perform Texas flexible-base and soil-materials procedures.

Lab Manager's Tip

Check the pedestal’s fit and stability before use. Tex-113-E and Tex-114-E are Texas DOT methods rather than ASTM/AASHTO standards; verify the current TxDOT procedure for specimen preparation.
