Supports the following standards: AASHTO TP31, AASHTO TP62, AASHTO TP79, AASHTO TP 105, AASHTO TP124, AASHTO T307, AASHTO T322, AASHTO T342, NCHRP 9-19, EN 12697-24 ANNEX E, EN12697-25 METHOD A AND B, EN 12697-26 ANNEX C AND E The Servo-Hydraulic Universal Testing Machine is a well designed, inexpensive machine specifically developed for the testing of materials used in pavement construction. A motorized, adjustable cross head reduces the time between test set-ups. The programmable temperature cabinet provides the possibility to perform frequency/temperature sweeps. Accurate waveforms are digitally generated and applied by the actuator producing repeatable conditions that are simulative of those created by moving or static vehicles. The actuator is double-acting allowing both compressive and tensile forces to be applied. Various systems are available for the measurement of the modulus of unbound materials. Key Features Designed to perform a range of tests on asphaltic paving materials, sub-grade soils and granular sub-base materials Double acting fatigue rated hydraulic actuator with integral stroke transducer Star servo valve with ‘Sapphire Technology’ Motorized adjustable lower cross head with automatic hydraulic frame clamping integral programmable temperature controlled cabinet Issued with UKAS accredited certificate of calibration for EN 12697-24; EN 12697-25, EN 12697-26 Accessories available to perform a range of standard and non standard test methods Key Uses Assessment of resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) Measurement of stiffness modulus Assessment of resistance to fatigue cracking Resilient modulus of unbound materials Mix design Control System and Software This machine can be controlled using our Standard Acquisition and Control System along with Universal Software™. Universal Software™ is user friendly, intuitive and reliable Windows® software developed using LabVIEW™. Universal test software for the development of test methods using static, sinusoidal, haversine, square, triangular with user selected frequencies and data collection rates. Stored test data can be imported into a spreadsheet package to be analysed by the user. Utilities are included for transducer check, diagnostic routines and calibration.
