Research & Development

Our pride and joy
The growing demand for testing, prompted not only by all the major works under construction (dams, highways, high speed railways system, tunnels, bridges, etc.) but also by new Standards involving antiseismic construction, land protection, and building recovery, has created new requirements for the automation of tests and the development of advanced equipment.
The major contribution to this exceptional growth has been given by our team of hardware and software specialists as, practically all new machines and testing systems are electronically controlled.
During the months preceding March 1968, when the company was founded, we were involved, among other things, with finding a company name related to our business. A name that could be understood in all languages, or almost all, and also easy to pronounce: CONTROLS. From the beginning, we wanted to operate both domestically and internationally, in order to best utilize our technical skills and to best serve the needs of the market. Milan, being strategically located and having a particularly favourable climate for industrial and commercial growth, was chosen as our base of operation. At the same time, our international network was taking form, with the creation of agents, distributors, branches in France, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom, while our R&D Service was developing new and sophisticated testing systems that have placed us in the forefront worldwide. The recent acquisition of Wykeham Farrance UK, world leader in the field of advanced geotechnical testing system, has further strengthened our organization. Now CONTROLS is an international group and the major world producer of testing equipment.
Our R&D specialists, often collaborating actively with the academic world, have developed highly specialized testing systems and updated a number of new products.

Balances and scales
Introduction
Balances are a general purpose laboratory apparatus used either for soil, aggregates, cement, concrete and asphalt testing. Controls supply a wide range of models suitable for different applications ranging from the central laboratories field use, educational etc. Electronic models are now recommended assuring better performance, with simplicity in use for a reasonable cost. Battery operated models are particularly suitable for field use. We also propose a range of accessories and calibration weights to periodically check the balances.
How to select balances Where not specified by the relevant standards, the tables given below may be used to select the appropriate balance conforming to the general specification for balances given in the ASTM D4753-95, BS 1377:Part 1, and EN 932-5. Very often a single specification requires balances having a readability and tolerance of 0.1% of the specimen mass to be measured which is another suitable choice criteria. Other standards covering aggregates and granular materials in general give information about the quantity of aggregate to be tested depending upon its size (UNI 8520 part 5, BS 812: part 1, BS 598 etc.). The different standards give practically the same recommendation so we have included this information in a separate table.

Specific gravity frame

General description and specifications Used in conjunction with a suitable electronic balance for specific gravity determination of fresh and hardened concrete and aggregates. A purpose built robust frame designed to support the electronic balance. The lower part of the frame incorporates a moving platform, which carries the water container allowing the test specimens to be weighed in both air and water. The balance is not included in the apparatus and must be ordered separately. Any type of electronic balance fitted with an under-bench weighing facility can be used. The models listed as accessories below are ideally suited for use with this specific gravity frame.

STANDARDS
b) American The sieves are conforming to the following standards:

ASTM E11
We propose a complete range of full depth testing sieves with 200 mm, 8", 250 mm, 300 mm, 12", 315 mm and 450 mm dia., with woven wire cloth and perforated plate conforming to the different standards. On request we can also supply models with round holes perforated plate from 1 to 100 mm dia. All frames except the 450 mm dia., and wire cloth sieves are manufactured from stainless steel. Perforated plates are made from tinned steel. Sieves having the same nominal diameter are designed to nest one in each other. Using 200 mm (8") sieves it is possible to test up to 1000 g of aggregates and 3000 g with 300 mm (12") dia.
a) European Conforming to the new European EN standards all sieves for the construction industry are specified by the following standards:
EN 933-2
Wire-cloth sieves for testing purposes. Note. The sieve specifications are clearly marked on the label comprising the serial number and other information for the identification and traceability of the product as requested by the international specifications. On request each sieve can be supplied with a calibration certificate.

Soil Testing
INTRODUCTION
In all sections of civil engineering and particularly in soil mechanics, the engineer during the design stage must ensure that the analysis of soil properties relate directly to the relevant foundation or structure. Using procedures involving extracting, examining and testing representative samples the engineer can compute a model very close to the real situation. In recent years we have seen a significant contribution to experimental analysis resulting from more sophisticated testing procedures, updating of many International Standards, and publication of good testing manuals and procedures. CONTROLS have been an active participant in this approach to excellence and are recognised both in Europe and Internationally as the partner of
choice for supplying advanced and high level equipment in the important field of quality control. The testing equipment in this catalogue has been carefully designed and manufactured to conform to the most recent specifications and standards. By combining this with improved skill levels the engineer can reach a higher degree of accuracy and repeatability of test results resulting in total confidence in the data produced. Widely used in materials testing laboratories around the world, the testing equipment of CONTROLS can also be seen in Universities and Technical Institutes for the training and education of tomorrow's geo-technical engineers and technicians.

Heavy duty pocket penetrometer

The pocket penetrometer is a world-wide known instrument used by geotechnicians, geologists, agronomists, etc. to obtain quickly and easily an approximate measure of the shear strength of cohesive and semicohesive soils. The special feature of this model is the design of the penetration rod, which allows a relatively deep penetration into the soil (up to 6 cm) thus reducing errors and uncertainties typical of shallow measures, which are often affected by remoulding,

DYNAMIC PENETROMETERS 16-T0012/A
TRL* Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)

The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) is an instrument designed for the rapid insitu measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavements constructed with unbound materials. Continuous measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850 mm or when extension shafts are used to a recommended maximum depth of 2 m. Where pavement layers have different strengths the boundaries can be identified and the thickness of the layers determined. Correlations have been established in earlier work (Van Vuuren 1969, Kleyn and Van Heerden 1983, Smith and Pratt 1983) between measurements with the DCP and CBR (California Bearing Ratio) so that results can be interpreted and compared with CBR specifications for pavement design. A typical test takes only a few minutes and therefore the instrument provides a very efficient method of obtaining information that would normally require the digging of test-pits. *TRL-UK Transport Research Laboratory General description and specifications The design of the DCP is similar to that described by Kleyn, Maree and Savage (1982) in that it uses an 8 kg weight dropping through a height of 575 mm and a 60 cone having a diameter of 20 mm. It is supplied with two 13-17 mm AF Spanners, Tommy Bar, 3 mm AF Hex Wrench and a bottle of adhesive used for securing handle/top rod and bottom rod/cone joints.

The moisture content can be determined using Moisture testers based on the calcium carbide method. The soil sample is introduced in the bottle with the reagent. The water reacts with calcium carbide and develops a gas pressure, which is indicated on the manometer and easily converted in percentage of moisture. This model is offered as alternative to the Speedy testers and can be used when the presumed humidity content exceeds the 20% as the sample weight can be varied from 3 to 100 g for the complete reaction with the calcium carbide contained in the glass ampoule. Furthermore the reaction starts only when the bottle is closed and shaken so the steel balls break the glass ampoule containing calcium carbide with no risk for the operator.

Specific gravity and particle density
Soil classification
In view of the great diversity of soil materials caused by the different process of formations, engineers have long recognised a need to characterise them simply, so that physical and mechanical properties may be quickly assessed. For this purpose a series of index tests have been properly developed and internationally standardised. By performing proper classification tests it is possible to describe accurately a soil in such a way that its characterisation is recognised internationally.

4-Pin soil resistance meter

This meter is ideal for soil resistivity measurement. Wide range, high sensitivity, and the latest in integrated circuit technology. It can be used with 4, 3, or 2-pin methods. The unit is battery operated and has no moving parts. It is supplied complete with a set of 4 steel pins, resistivity test reels, driving head and rectangular compaction box.
The resistivity value indicates the relative capability of the soil to carry electric currents from which the corrosiveness of the soil can be deduced.
Wenner probe method This procedure enables the electrical resistivity of an undisturbed or disturbed soil sample to be measured in the laboratory. Four probes are inserted into the sample, the two outer are connected to the source of current and the resistance is measured across the two inner probes. The test is not recommended for soils containing an appreciable amount of gravel-size particles. Open container method This procedure is for the measurement of the electrical resistivity of a soil such as fill material that has been compacted to a specified density and then saturated by adding water. It is suitable only for relatively free-draining materials into which water can percolate easily.

AUTOMATIC DIGITAL SHEAR TESTING MACHINE 27-T0208/A

Vertical displacement transducer
Automatic digital shear machine. 110-220 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph.

This new and advanced model microprocessor based, is driven by a high resolution stepper motor with epicyclic reduction gear with a reduced backlash. Incorporates a pneumatic closed loop system for the application of the axial pressure by a high performance pressure regulator. This system also apply to different types of automatic shear tests since it is possible to control the different parameters measured during the test, for example the constant volume shear test where it is necessary to control/maintain the vertical deflection to zero during shearing. The automatic application of the vertical load eliminates the manual loading of the dead weight when performing standard tests. For more information ask our sales department.
Main features - Microprocessor based system - High resolution stepper motor with epicyclic reduction gear with negligible backlash - Closed loop system for the application of the axial load - Pneumatic automatic loading - Automatic control of parameters during the test - Performance of various shear test as the constant volume test - Variable speed from 0.00001 to 11.00000 mm/min. with horizontal loads up to 5 kN - Large graphic display 240x128 pixel - User-friendly software - RS 232 output for PC data downloading

General information The settlement of soil-supported foundations and the change in earth pressure due to small movement of retaining walls or other earth supports, the yield of soil caused by local application of load, are determined by the relation between stress and strain in soils. The experimental investigation used to determine the stress-strain relation is usually carried out with a triaxial compression test. During the test, the undisturbed soil samples are gradually stressed up to failure, which corresponds to the maximum shear strength. The test is performed placing a cylindrical soil sample, enclosed in a rubber membrane, in a triaxial cell and subjecting it to an isotropic fluid pressure. An axial load is subsequently applied on the specimen through a loading piston in such a way that the soil sample is deformed at a constant rate of strain. Generally speaking, the triaxial tests are performed to simulate different types of stress and drainage conditions that can occur in the subsoil because of the effect of building constructions, excavations, tunnelling etc. Three different triaxial tests are usually performed (see page 71) for total and effective stress measurement. Our production of triaxial equipment Controls manufactures a large sophisticated state of the art range of triaxial equipment which is detailed below. Automatic machines for compression and extension tests, computerised and integrated systems have also been developed for advanced testing laboratories, where not only conventional tests are carried out.

General information
TRIAXIAL TEST METHODS
Total stress measurement Unconsolidated Undrained (UU) tests With this method the shear strength is measured with respect to total stress. The soil specimen (assumed saturated) is not allowed to consolidate, maintains its original structure and water content, so that its resistance only depends on the level of geostatic stress in the field. Tests are usually carried out on three specimens of the same sample, subjected to different confining pressure. Provided that the soil is fully saturated, the effective stresses at failure is the same for each test. The Mohr envelope, plotted with respect to total stress is horizontal and the shear strength is constant and equal to Cu (undrained shear strength).
Piston a = porous stone b = rubber membrane c = cell fluid Lateral pressure SOIL
Effective stress measurement Consolidated Undrained (CU) tests

Piston
With this test method the shear strength is measured in terms of effective stress. At least three specimens are allowed to consolidate (i.e. to change its structure and water content) at different level of confining pressure before failure. Due to the fact that shear strength increases raising the effective stresses the Coulombs model can be applied in terms of effective stress: = c + n tg where: = shear resistance; n = effective normal stress c, = parameters of Mohr envelope in terms of effective stress During the failure stage the specimen is not allowed to drain and pore pressure is measured, so that the effective stresses are calculated as the difference between the total stress and the pore pressure.
a = porous stone b = rubber membrane c = cell fluid Lateral pressure SOIL No drainage
Pore pressure (transducer)
Effective stress measurement Consolidated Drained (CD) tests This test method is similar to the CU test as the shear strength can be related to the applied level of stress. At least three specimens are allowed to consolidate at different levels of confining pressure. The failure stage is carried out very slowly to prevent the increase of pore pressure inside the specimen, which is allowed to drain. The total and effective stresses are the same. Mohr circles are drawn for effective stresses at failure and the parameters c and are determined from the Mohr envelope.
Piston a = porous stone b = rubber membrane c = cell fluid Lateral pressure SOIL drainage

Detail of the locking system of the triaxial cell to the lower platen for extension tests
Introduction The 28-T0403/AC machine can be upgraded to perform extension tests (extensionunloaded), where the axial stress can be reduced below the horinzontal stress. This condition (where the factor K0 is >1) can be automatically carried out either in the consolidation or in the failure stage, at constant rate of stress. The maximum tensile capacity is 8 kN. Data recording, downloading to PC, processing and printing are carried on in the same way described above.
n o t e
To perform extension tests it is necessary to substitute the porous caps model T0420/A3, T0422/A3, T0425/A3, T0428/A3, T0432/A3 respectively with the following appropriate models: T0420/A3T, T0422/A3T, T0425/A3T, T0428/A3T, T0432/A3T, for dia. 35-38-50-70-100 mm. Furthermore the modification of the upper flange of the triaxial cell is also required. This modification can be factory made on your existing triaxial cells or programmed in case of a complete laboratory supply. For new modified triaxial cells ask for the following codes: 28-T0410/AT Triaxial cell up to 50 mm dia. 28-T0411/AT Triaxial cell up to 70 mm dia. 28-T0416/AT Triaxial cell up to 100 mm dia.

Pressure system
Introduction
The pressure system provides two separate lines for the desired constant pressure inside the triaxial cell (cell pressure system) and in the specimen drainage line (back pressure system). A specimen volume change indicator (burette or electric transducer type) is also provided. The system is completed by a deaired water apparatus and by all other accessories such as tubing, valves etc. Different solutions are available depending on the type of test to be performed. - Air/water bladder system actuated by a pneumatic compressor - Motorised oil and water system - Automatic digital controllers connectable to PC. For clarity we propose first the most common layout systems and then all single components. All single components can however be combined to provide different solutions conforming to the users requirements.

Introduction and application The automatic pressure controllers can be used to control or to manage both cell pressure and back pressure in the triaxial tests (UU, CU or CD), in order to perform the different stages: saturation, consolidation and failure. The controllers are associated to a triaxial compression machine to automatically control a complete test via a p.c. With this system it is possible to perform either compression or extension tests (varying horizontal or vertical stress as well) on the soil specimen up to 100 mm diameter, using standard type triaxial cells (see page 75). Proper application software packages are available to automatically perform the different stage of triaxial tests.
MAIN ADVANTAGES - Suitable for both compression or extension tests - Easily mounted on a laboratory bench, reducing the working space of the traditional systems - Very accurate control and measurement of hydraulic pressures applied to the soil samples - Completely automatic management of the tests through p.c.

Pressure systems: water de-airing / Volume change measurement
Water de-airing systems

We propose two different systems, both completed with a de-airing tank 7 or 33 litres cap.: - Suitable vacuum pump and water trap to collect condensed water vapour. The water tank has to be fitted at a high level to fill the system by gravity. - Integrated model incorporating vacuum pump/compressor, and valves. The vacuum pump is used as a little compressor to force deaired water from the de-airing tank (that can be placed anywhere) to the system (pressure panels, bladders etc.).
DE-AIRING TANKS 28-T0491
De-airing tank 33 litres cap.

28-T0491/A
De-airing tank 7 litres cap.

General description and specifications Used in conjunction with a vacuum source (ex. 28-T0492/A apparatus) this item provides a very efficient and therefore quick means of removing the air from water. The de-airing tank consists of a perspex cylinder fitted with a water spray inlet, an air outlet and a water outlet. A suitable vacuum supply is connected to the air outlet and water is sucked into the cylinder in a fine spray via the water inlet. The vacuum draws the air out of the water. The larger 28-T0491 model is suggested for 3 triaxial cell system.
28-T0491
VOLUME CHANGE MEASUREMENT
We propose two different models: standard 28-T0459 and electronic 28-T0494 suitable for connection to digital display or data acquisition and processing system as for example our model 30-T0601/A.
28-T0459
Weight approx.: 14 kg for model 28-T0491 and 3 kg for model 28-T0491/A
Double burette volume change apparatus

General description and specifications The apparatus comprises two measurement tubes, which have a 25 ml burette mounted internally and an acrylic tube externally. The burette tubes are connected directly to a reversing valve system, which is used to reverse the direction of travel of the interface in the measurement tubes without affecting the direction of flow of water to or from the triaxial cell. The unit also includes a by-pass valve system when volume change measurement is not required. Max. working pressure 10 bar.

General description This apparatus has been designed to reduce the testing time for triaxial tests, where only one compression machine is available. With this equipment it is possible to perform the consolidation stage of three triaxial specimens at the same time for CU and CD tests, where: - Vertical compression of specimen must be measured - Anisotropic consolidation has to be performed. It consists of a steel bench complete with three load frames and centring platens, for all our triaxial cells (28-T0410/A, 28-T0411/A and 28-T0416/A), for triaxial specimens from 35 to 100 mm dia. The apparatus can also be used for other make of triaxial cells, provided that they are equipped with a centring hole 13 mm dia. x 3 mm deep. Each consolidation frame can be equipped with a beam loading device to reduce the number of dead weights required for anisotropic consolidation (see accessories). Weights can be placed on both the centre hanger and on the lever hanger. The weights of the loading frames have been reduced to minimum so that a counterbalance of the frame is not required. Bench dimensions: 1300x585 mm B Overall dimensions (hxdxl): 1300x800x970 mm A Total weight: 145 kg approx.

Soil compaction 33
SOIL TESTING
Compaction
Introduction
When highway or railway earthworks, bases, subbases and dams are constructed and subgrades are prepared, it is necessary to compact the material mechanically, to confer a high degree of density. This procedure increases the shear strength, reduces the permeability and water absorption, and reduces the tendency to settle under repeated loading. Compaction is therefore defined as the process of increasing the density of a material by mechanical means. To simulate the procedure adopted in the earthworks to obtain a
defined level of compaction in the field, several laboratory tests have been developed over the years; they only differ for the different level of energy applied to the soil sample. The terms "percent compaction" or "relative compaction" usually refer to the ratio of the dry weight per unit volume of a field-compacted soil, compacted with mechanical equipment, to the maximum dry weight per unit volume of the same soil, compacted in the laboratory in accordance with a standard procedure, at the "optimum moisture content".
The new EN and pr EN standards:

pr EN 13286 Unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures. Test methods for laboratory dry density and water content
A number of new EN standards have been developed or are under development covering this subject. The test methods are practically identical to those of the other standards except for some dimension and specification of testing apparatus. For this reason we prefer to propose separately all the EN testing apparatus even if, very often, they are identical to those referring to other standards.

This new line of compactors assures strict conformity to standards both in terms of compaction distribution and hammer drop height. All moving parts, the hammer-lifting device and the rotating mould table are fitted with safety guards that, if open, stop the machine automatically for operator safety. The operator can easily select, by the control panel, the number of drops in conformity with the reference standard, or user defined. The compactor is provided with a 2495/4535 g hammer with double interchangeable tip (50.8 mm circular face, for 4" moulds, and sector face, for 6" moulds), conforming to ASTM/AASHTO standards but it is possible to convert the 33-T8612 to BS and NLT standards (only for 100 mm moulds) simply by changing the hammer (33-T8500/2 see page 106) and the drop height. The compactor can be used with all 4" and 6" Controls moulds, and the use of other make is also possible, with a simple modification of the mould base to fit the table of the compactor. All models can be supplied complete with noise reduction cabinet. See upgrading option code 33-T8500/XUP on page 107.

All the above have to be completed by the suitable accessories, which may change conforming to the standard in use and the level of sophistication preferred. For instance, the specific model Series 34-T0106 can be equipped either with a standard load ring and dial gauge or with an electronic load cell, displacement transducer, digital data acquisition and software for PC connection. The specific testing machine Series 34-T0106 is also proposed in the BS version 34-T0106/BS with a testing speed of 1 mm/min instead of 1.27 mm/min. Finally, to simplify your selection we also propose the above models complete with CBR accessories in the analogic version (see 34T0106/A and 34-T0106/B models). Hand operated models for field use are also available (see page124).

General description The machine features a very rigid twocolumn frame with the upper crossbeam, which can be adjusted in height and locked in position with locknuts. The base cabinet houses the load jack, D.C. motor and electronic controls. The machine, which is suitable for wide range of tests such as CBR, MARSHALL, QUICK TRIAXIAL, UNCONFINED, SPLITTING TENSILE TESTS, etc. can be completed with accessories in the analogic and digital version as shown in the pictures. In the digital version, the load and displacement transducers have to be connected to the Digimax Plus 76-Q0802/C. Furthermore, the displacement transducer to measure the penetration (CBR) and flow (Marshall) can be fitted in two different ways: - Internally to the machine (see Upgraded option 34-T0107/UP) - Externally (see accessories 82-P0332 and 34-T0104/8). The internal option is more suitable for general use including CBR and Marshall tests but has to be factory installed and specified at time of order. The external option can be fitted at any time to all CBR machines without arrangements and/or modifications. A limit cut-off switch stops the machine at the maximum platen travel. (1) For the 110 V, 60 Hz model add the suffix /Z to the code (e.g. 34-T0107/Z).
Internal transducer option: The internal displacement transducer As specified in the general description, the machine can be upgraded when used in the digital version, by a displacement transducer which has to be factory installed. Choosing this option please specify when ordering:

DYNAMIC PLATE LOAD TEST USING THE LIGHT DROP-WEIGHT TESTER
Advantages over the plate load tester - Time-saving immediate evaluation of each measurement - Testing in locations not readily accessible - Low tester weight - No vehicle required for loading. The dynamic plate load test using the Light drop-weight tester has been approved as an indirect test method for determining the degree of ramming, in: ZTVEStB 94 ZTVEStB 95 ZTVEStB 97 NGT 39 Function Place the load plate on the prepared surface to be tested and position the loading unit on the load plate. Connect the settlement meter. The drop weight is allowed to drop onto the spring element, the loading unit produces a defined impact load and the overall amount of compaction (or settlement) of the soil under the load plate is measured. Once the measuring routine is started perform three impact cycles for the measurement. Following each cycle the meter displays the amount of settlement in millimetres. Upon completion of a series of measurements, the settlement is averaged, and the dynamic modulus of deformation is determined and displayed. Results can be printed out on a micro-printer or on a printer connected to a PC as necessary.

Introduction The dynamic plate load test employing the Light drop-weight tester is used in earthwork and road construction to determine the soil bearing capacity and the compaction or consolidation of soils and non-cohesive subbases, as well as for soil improvement applications. The test method is suited for coarse-grain and mixed-grain soils having a maximum grain size of 63 mm. The test method may be used to determine the dynamic modulus of deformation of soil in the range Evd = 15 80 MN/m2. Further fields of application include: - Road construction - Testing of pavement bedding - Quality assurance in canal construction - Compaction test in ducts and trenches - Backfill of foundations - Railway construction. The Light drop-weight tester being easy to handle is specifically suited for monitoring intra-company operations.

SOIL TESTING
Introduction
The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behaviour of soil in its natural conditions with respect to water flow. Two different methods of testing are proposed: constant head and falling head. The first one is particularly suitable for relatively coarsegrained soil such as sands and gravel and the second is more appropriate for fine-grained soils such as claylike or silty soils.

This method is particularly suitable for fine-grained soils such as clay-like or silty soils in the range of 1x10-2 to 1x10-6 cm/s. The test is performed with a permeability cell, which has to be connected to a manometer stand. During the test the cell is placed in a soaking tank fitted with overflow tube. As an option the apparatus can be completed with a suitable de-airing tank to fill the system with de-aired water along with a vacuum control panel, water trap and vacuum pump. All these items are listed below.

Rock and Aggregates Testing

INTRODUCTION
Rock
According to the Committee on Rock Mechanics, National Academy of Sciences rock mechanics is a theoretical and applied science concerning the physical behaviour of rocks subjected to stress conditions of different origin. In general terms, rock mechanics involves the study of underground works such as tunnels, and surface construction such as open quarries or dam foundations. When a rock sample is subjected to defined stress conditions in the laboratory, the stress-strain diagram can show behaviours of non linearity also for very small strains, hysteresis, anisotropy, fluage conditions, etc. All these phenomena can be mathematically described.
fields of the construction industry to produce bituminous mixtures, concrete, mortars to be used in structures, fill materials, railway ballast, etc. For this reason we have given particular attention to all testing methods. The new EN standards have grouped all tests on aggregates in five main subjects: - Tests for general properties of aggregates - Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates - Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregatesTests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates - Tests for chemical properties of aggregate. In the majority of cases the new EN Standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart from a few exceptions there is almost no difference in the specifications of test apparatus.

Strength and deformability tests
Strength and deformability tests

Most of the information obtained from laboratory tests are substantially related to the stress and strain characteristics of the tested materials. The tests generally performed on cylindrical rock samples are the following: - Evaluation of the compressive strength and strain in uniaxial conditions - Evaluation of the compressive strength and strain in triaxial conditions.

UNIAXIAL TEST
TRIAXIAL TEST
q STANDARD ASTM D3148, D2938 ISRM: Suggested methods for determining the uniaxial compressive strength and deformability of rock materials
The uniaxial test is performed applying an increasing load at a constant rate of stress between 0.5 and 1.0 MPa/s. Axial and radial strain are measured with high sensitivity (about 5x10-6). Subsequent load-unload cycles are also carried out to obtain a correct evaluation of the compressibility properties.
q STANDARD ASTM D2664, D5407 ISRM: Suggested methods for determining the strength of rock materials in triaxial compression
The triaxial test is performed on test rock samples, contained in a rubber sealing membrane, placed within a triaxial chamber and subjected to an isotropic pressure (generally between 5 and 60 MPa), kept constant during the test. An axial load is subsequently applied; tests and measurements are carried on in the same way as for uniaxial tests.
From the measurements recorded during the test the following information is obtained: - Rate of stress versus axial and radial strain - Maximum or failure stress - Tangent and secant Youngs modulus measured on the stress-axial strain curve - Rate of radial strain versus axial strain to obtain the Poissons ratio - Maximum stress versus applied cell pressure (in the triaxial tests) to define the failure envelope and the corresponding properties (cohesion and friction). Another important parameter investigated in the triaxial tests concerns the permeability characteristics of rocks and rock behaviour when subjected to high water pressure, especially for the study of dam foundations, and generally for underground tunnels and cavities.

DETERMINATION OF ELASTIC MODULUS AND STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF ROCK SPECIMENS IN UNIAXIAL AND TRIAXIAL CONDITIONS
q STANDARD ASTM D2664, D2938, D3148, D5407, ISRM Sugg. Method

Introduction Controls rock mechanics automatic test systems are designed to test various materials from soft sandstone to high strength basaltic samples. The complete test system includes: - Servohydraulic control console for load application conforming the relevant standards (see ADVANTEST code 50-C9842) - High stiffness testing frame to be selected conforming to the size of the sample and the expected strength (see load frames from 50-C3600/* to 50-C6600/* model page 206) - Servohydraulic control console for lateral pressure control (see SERCOMP 7 code 45-C7022/S). This unit which is derived from the standard SERCOMP 7
code 50-C7022, has been specifically designed for rock testing (Uniaxial tests only) - Hoek triaxial cell to be selected conforming the specimen size (Triaxial tests only) - Strain gauges and accessories - Test software. Operating principle According to the reference standards, during the test the compression load on the rock specimen shall be applied continuously without shock, in such a manner to produce a strain rate as constant as possible, so that failure will occur within 5-10 min of loading or alternatively at a constant rate of stress, within the limits of 0.51.0 MPa/sec. Moreover, for triaxial tests, the confining pressure has to be maintained constant to within 1%. Our new System has been designed to completely fulfil these strict specifications of the test procedures. The ADVANTEST 9 is driven by a sophisticated micro-processed servo-control and both uniaxial and triaxial tests can be carried on at very stable rate of stress, displacement or strain. The SERCOMP 7 provides the automatic control and managing of cell pressure within the limits prescribed by the Standards. Strain measurements are performed by means of strain gauges applied directly to the specimen, both in
axial and radial direction, so that Poissons ratio and compressibility parameters are easily and properly evaluated during the test. Axial load and cell pressure are also monitored by means of load cells and/or pressure transducers at high levels of sensitivity and accuracy. All the test data are graphically displayed in real time, and stored in ASCII files for further analysis with appropriate software packages. Note. For a complete list of suggested items to perform Triaxial and Uniaxial test see Table on page 151. Interactive control of cell pressure and vertical load The remarkable performances of the Automatic Test System can be further improved for research purposes, by a customised software expansion concerning the bi-directional communication between the ADVANTEST 9 and SERCOMP 7 units with interactive control of triaxial cell pressure and vertical load.

Although each sleeve can be used for several tests, an order of five spare sleeves is recommended (see accessories). Measurements of axial and radial strain are carried out with the use of electric strain gauges , both in vertical and horizontal direction, directly glued on the lateral surface of the specimen. The wiring connections are passed within the rubber sleeve through the cell body and loading cap. Each strain gauge must be connected to a proper electric device (see 82-P0070/1) to complete and balance the Wheatstone bridge. The strain gauge measurements can be performed by automatic testing systems described on page 146 or by suitable Datalog described on page 153. The cell pressure and saturation pressure for permeability tests are carried out by the use of appropriate equipment (see page 156).

Splitting tensile strength / Classification tests
SPLITTING TENSILE TEST OF INTACT CORE SPECIMENS

Introduction This test method has been developed to measure the uniaxial tensile strength of rock specimens by the diametral compression of a disk. The splitting tensile strength is calculated as follows:
t = 2 P ___ _________ L D
70-T0108/E equipped with the 50-C9032 device for splitting testing of rock disk
where: P maximum compressive force L, D thickness and diameter of rock disk. The test specimens shall be a circular disk with a thickness-to-diameter ratio (L/D) between 0.2 and 0.75. The diameter of the specimen shall be at least 10 times greater than the largest mineral grain constituent. A diameter of 54 mm (NX) will generally satisfy this criterion. We propose, as an accessory to a suitable compression frame, the 50-C9032 Compression device. Considering the average splitting strength value of different types of rock ranging from 3 to 14 MPa, a load frame of 50 kN max. capacity should be suitable. A suitable testing machine is our Universal tester 70-T0108/E, 50 kN cap. that can operate either with load or displacement control. Our Sales Dept. is at your complete disposal for any assistance you may need.

Rock mechanics 45
Behaviour of joints
Another important section of rock mechanics involves the study of discontinuities within the rock mass, where the compression and shear strength is lower. The behaviour of joints is particularly investigated: they are originated from geological failures, breaking off the rock mass continuity, along which no sliding mechanism is shown. From the rock mechanics point of view the discontinuities are characterised by mechanical strength lower than the original rock matrix and require detailed test investigations.
STRENGTH OF THE JOINT WALLS
Typical roughness profiles
It is conventionally investigated with the Schmidt Hammer (L model). A series of 10 measurements is performed both on the joint walls and on a new failure surface. From the 10 values obtained the 5 lower are rejected and the compression strength is given by the average value of the last 5. This parameter is generally indicated as JCS (Joint Wall Compressive Strength), expressed in MPa.
SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF THE JOINT
This parameter is defined on the joint surface with the Barton comb (Profilometer 45-D0556) used to reproduce the roughness profile. The line obtained is compared with a scale of roughness profiles, proposed by Barton, each of them is specified with a classification number JRC, variable from 0 to 20 (JRC = Joint Roughness Coefficient).
TILT TEST
An empirical method for an immediate evaluation of the JRC index is obtained with the tilt test (model 45-B0096). It essentially consists of a horizontal plane, upon which the two parts of the sample are placed, laid one upon the other along the joint surface. Then the plane is gradually tilted until the relative displacement of the upper piece of the sample on the lower one is observed. The equipment is fitted with a lower edge, to stop the lower specimen from sliding, and one goniometer. The tilting angle measured is related to the JRC index with the following:
- R JRC = ______________ Log (JCS/)
angle of residual shear friction (obtained from the shear test) normal pressure acting on the joint surface, generated by the weight of the upper piece of the sample JCS joint resistance (measured with the Schmidt Hammer)
Therefore the shear test is performed: on a smooth joint to directly obtain the shear friction angle on a rough joint to calculate from JCS and JRC. From the above expression it is interesting to observe that, when the normal stress equals JCS (compression strength of the joint itself), ieff becomes 0. The mechanical explanation is that, when the joint walls are fractured for the applied high normal pressure, the shear resistance of the rock only depends from the shear strength angle and not from the surface roughness of the joint. For the measurement of the residual shear strength of the joint the direct shear test is also used. The mathematical expression representing the behaviour of residual strength is the Coulombs linear failure envelope without cohesion:
= tg R
SHEAR STRENGTH OF THE JOINT
It is obtained from the direct shear test. The peak resistance of a rough joint is calculated from the following relationship (Barton, 1973):
= tg ( + ieff)
with
JCS ieff = JRC log ______

Rock shear box apparatus. Hand operated

General description and specifications This apparatus was originally developed at Imperial College, London, by Professor E. Hoek. It is a simple and practical method of determining the strength and slope stability of rock, both in the field and in the laboratory. The apparatus consists of a shear box designed to accept rock samples not larger than 115x125 mm, or alternatively cores up to 102 mm dia. The shear box consists of two halves, the upper being connected to two rams for reversible shearing action and the lower connected to a ram for normal load application. The loads are recorded by Bourdon tube load gauges. The normal loading system is complete with an adjustable low friction pressure maintainer to absorb volume changes of the specimen during the shearing action and to ensure a constant vertical stress. The apparatus is supplied complete with two 50 kN pumps and manometers and two mould forms used for the correct alignment of the sample before the test with cementation. Gauge range: 50 kN x 1 kN B Dimensions: 460x250x600 mm A Weight approx.: 45 kg

Digital rock strength index apparatus

General description and specifications This apparatus, also named Franklin Press (1970), is used to obtain quick information concerning rock strength. A rock core piece is subjected to a compression load along its diameter with two opposite conical platens. The index of rock strength is calculated from the following:
P IS = __ D2 COMPRESSION STRENGTH 58-C0184
- Light and portable unit - Sample size up to 102 mm dia. - Accepts irregular shaped samples - High resolution digital display battery operated - Resistant to failure shocks
45-D0550/D
where P is the maximum applied load and D the core diameter. The apparatus consists of a load frame 60 kN capacity with a hydraulic loading ram actuated by a hand pump. The frame is adjustable to allow for testing sample up to 102 mm dia. A ruler assembled on the frame allows for direct measurement of the distance D between the conical platens before and after the test. The compression load is measured by a pressure transducer with an advanced digital display unit assuring the best accuracy and resistance to the failure shocks. The machine, fitted with the accessory 45D0550/D5, can also be used for compression tests on small cores or cylindrical specimens. The apparatus is contained in an easyly transportable plastic case.

New EN European Standards and relation with the existing National Specifications
y the time this catalogue has been printed a number of new European Standards concerning aggregates will have been published and the correspondent National Standards are automatically superseded. The new EN Standards for aggregates have been grouped in five main subjects: Standards - Tests for general properties of aggregates from EN 932-1 to EN 932-6 - Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates from EN 933-1 to EN 933-10 - Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates from EN 1097-1 to EN 1097-10 - Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates from EN 1367-1 to EN 1367-5 - Tests for chemical properties of aggregates from EN 1744-1 to EN 1744-3
In the majority of cases the new EN Standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart from a few exceptions there is almost no difference in the specifications of test apparatus. In order to allow clients the choice to update, if necessary, their laboratory equipment, we list below all the new EN Standards with corresponding National Standard. Considering that in many countries outside Europe the National Standards such as BS and NF will still be adopted, we continue to supply the relative apparatus.

New European Standards and relation with the existing National Specifications
CONCRETE TESTING
NEW EN EUROPEAN STANDARDS AND RELATION WITH THE EXISTING NATIONAL SPECIFICATION
By the time this catalogue has been printed a number of new European Standards concerning concrete will have been published and the relevant National Standards automatically superseded. The new EN and pr EN standards, which have been produced by the CEN/TC 104 are grouped in two
main subjects:
EN 12350-1 to 12350-7 Testing Fresh Concrete EN 12390-1 to 12390-11 Testing Hardened Concrete
In the majority of cases the new EN standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart for some exceptions there should be almost no difference in the specification
of test apparatus. Considering that in many countries outside Europe the National Standards such as BS and NF will still be adopted, we continue to propose the relevant apparatus as well as the ASTM and AASHTO testing equipment. For more information the following table indicates the correspondent or comparable standards to the new EN.

General summary
Introduction
The programme of compression testing machines included in this brochure is certainly the widest range available on the world market today. This range provides the highest possible degree of flexibility when making the correct selection according to the test requirement. We recommend that the following criteria are considered when deciding which machine is most suitable to your specific requirement, and essentially includes:
CONCRETE TESTING
Semi-automatic machines
where the test execution requires a few manual intervention by the operator.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC COMPRESSION TESTERS
Automatic machines
where the rapid approach and loading is automatically performed at a push of a button.
Automatic Tests Systems

Based on the high performance control consoles featuring programmable test cycles including the determination of the Elastic Modulus, etc. For connection to up to four different frames: e.g. compression on concrete, flexure on concrete beams, compression on cement. Particularly suitable for research purposes. See page 208
MACHINE CLASS (EN 12390-4, ASTM E4*)
All our EN digital machines and Automatic Testing Systems are supplied in Class 1 starting from the 10% of the full range as standard but with a special calibration procedure identified by the code 50-C0050/CAL we can grant the Class 1 starting from 1% of the full range. This exceptional performance enables the machines to be used for a con-
siderable number of applications including: - Early strength concrete - Lightweight concrete - Small size specimens - Soil-cement mixtures - Lean cement mixtures - Flexural and splitting tests using accessories etc.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
Strength measurement by Wizard Display unit
Example of displays
These machines are designed for use both in field and laboratory for the testing of concrete cylinders starting from 4x8 size. The bearing face of the upper platen has a diameter of 165 mm, which is within the limit prescribed by the ASTM C39 standards. They can also be used for testing 2 (50 mm) mortar cubes using the appropriate accessory. The vertical clearance of 370 mm allows the testing of 6x12 cylinders with capping retainers. All accessories can be easily positioned in the testing chamber without the removal of upper platen and spherical seat.

The load frames are fitted with: - Ram travel switch which prevents the excessive piston travel. - Front and rear transparent fragment guard. - Optional: locking switch to cut off mains when the door is open. See accessories 50-C0050/P, page 199. The frames have to be completed with the suitable distance pieces conforming to the specimen size. See page 202.
Importance of the verification of force transfer The conformity of compression testers to the EN 12390-4 requirements in terms of stability (force transfer) is mainly due to the frame design, spherical seat and compression platens. All our frames are fully conform to these stringent requirements which requires the verification of the self-alignment of machine components and the restraint on movement of the upper platen using a special strain gauged column (e.g. our model 82-E0105/1) connected to a suitable data acquisition and processing system (e.g. our model 82P0804/E). Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is caused by an incorrect load application. The resultant compression resistance can be significantly lower than the true resistance. Satisfactory failure

50-C9842 ADVANTEST 9 with 86-D2999
Introduction CONTROLS with over 30 years experience within the field of materials testing, working alongside customers in industry and research establishment, has resulted in the most comprehensive range of testing systems, software and test accessories currently available. The constant innovation and modern design applied to our testing systems, in cooperation with State Universities, has resulted in the development of the ADVANTEST 9 Servohydraulic testing unit.
50-C9842
General description The unit consists of: - Hydraulic power system - Microprocessor control unit - User interface with large graphic display and keyboard, PC and printer - Interactive software for PC. The ADVANTEST 9 can control up to 4 hydraulic testing frames, of various dimensions and capacities, to perform tests under controlled speed of: - Load/stress (e.g. MPa/s; kN/s; etc.) - Displacement (e.g. m/s; m/s) - Strain (e.g. mstrain/s). The feedback is automatically performed with P.I.D. closed loop control. The system controls the displacement of the hydraulic piston as a function of the load or stress or strain by a suitable transducer. The displacement transducer is placed by the user where needed to measure for example the deflection of a beam under flexure load. The strain transducers are typically fixed on the specimen for direct reading.
Main applications The performances of the ADVANTEST 9, besides to the conventional applications where the test ends with the failure of the specimen are related to the more advanced applications as the determination of the: - Concrete post peak residual strength - Concrete fracture toughness, from the complete Hardening + Softening Load vs. Strain diagram - Determination of the Elastic modulus. The increasing use of new materials in the construction industry has created an increasing demand for new and more complex and sophisticated tests often related to the Deformability and Ductility behaviour. The Ductility is a fundamental design parameter, which is related to the seismic risks, micro-fissure due to shrinkage, the fatigue behaviour, the resistance to shocks.

General description and specifications Used to verify the homogeneity of concrete in relation to its workability or plasticity. This test method has particular applications for concretes containing chemical admixtures. The apparatus consists of a metal box divided into two parts and fitted with an electrical vibrator system. During operation the concrete is poured into the first section of the box and then the dividing plate is removed. The vibrator is immediately switched on and the time is recorded when the concrete has spread uniformly across the whole box. Power: 300 W B Overall dimensions: 800x400x400 mm A Weight approx.: 30 kg
This test method is a variation of the simple slump test and subjects the concrete to vibration after removal from the slump cone. The time taken for the concrete to be recompacted is taken as a measure of workability. The small vibrating table operates at a fixed amplitude and frequency, and in the test a plastic disc is placed into contact with the upper surface of the concrete. The test is completed when the lower surface of the disc has been completely coated with cement grout.

54-C0144
K-slump tester
This device is used to determine the workability and degree of compaction of fresh concrete after being placed in the forms. It
54-C0144
can be used for in-situ measurements or inside test moulds and forms. Results can be correlated against the slump test. The operation is very simple, insert the tester into the concrete up to the level of the disc, after 60 seconds, a measuring rod is lowered onto the surface of the concrete and the Kslump is read directly on a scale. The calibrated hollow tube has a diameter of 20 mm.

Workability of no-slump concrete
CONCRETE TESTING
GYRATORY COMPACTOR TO MEASURE THE WORKABILITY OF NO-SLUMP CONCRETE
q STANDARD NT Build 427 (Scandinavian NORDTEST method)

Introduction Since 1985 the gyratory compactor has been used for concrete materials in Finland and Scandinavia. The method is used for mix design and quality control mainly in concrete product plants, where low workable and zero slump concrete is used (for such products as hollow-core slabs, tubes and paving blocks). The method is used for: - mix design simulating selected production processes - specimen preparation for strength tests (fresh and cured) - research of mix related phenomena (workability, curing time, admixtures etc.) The 100 mm diameter mould allows use of a mix with max 16 mm aggregate size. The compaction principle is similar to that for asphalt materials, see page 344. The machine is supplied complete with one 100 mm dia. mould and accessories to perform the test.

DETERMINATION OF THE DEPTH OF PENETRATION OF WATER UNDER PRESSURE
q STANDARD
EN 12390-8,
ISO 7031
Introduction The method concerns the determination of the depth of penetration of water under pressure. The test is performed by clamping a concrete prism 200x200x120 mm or 15 cm cube between two flanges with special circular gaskets. The water, under controlled pressure is then applied to the surface of the concrete specimen. The penetration of water is measured after the testing period by breaking the specimen or taking the readings through the graduated glass burettes. Two models available: three place (code 55-C0244/A) and six place (code 55-C0244/B) version. Both of them can be fitted with burettes for the quantitative determination of water penetration (codes 55-C0244/AV and 55-C0244/BV). The systems can test concrete specimens up to 200 mm side or dia. and 300 mm high. Supplied complete with gaskets for 150 mm cube specimens. The apparatus have to be fitted with a suitable air compressor, maximum working pressure 10 bar. (See accessories).
- Manometer available to check water pressure - One, two or three specimens can be tested at the same time

Concrete durability evaluation
Introduction
The various problems that relate to the durability of concrete are assuming ever increasing importance due to their close relationship to the quality of the structure as a whole. The main problems associated with the durability of concrete are normally caused by the poor quality of the concrete itself. Knowledge of the degrading processes and the availability of materials and methods to overcome these processes permit concrete to be designed both resistant and durable. The term durability is an abstract term, in fact it would be more practical to say the useful life of the structure. This parameter should be included in the initial design of the structure: the designer must take into consideration the requested life cycle (in which period the structure should maintain its designed criteria). A complete range of instruments is available to measure the durability of concrete to answer most of the requisites of the operators in the Construction Industry. Controls can also make available considerable specific know-how and first hand experience to help in the analysis of test results.

Digital resistivity 4 probe array meter

General description and specifications For assessing the possible rate of corrosion in reinforcing bars. The time at which corrosion of steel may commence and the rate at which it may proceed is dependent upon properties of the cement paste and the permeability of the concrete. Since the electrical conductivity of concrete is an electrolytic process, which takes place by ionic movement in the aqueous pore solution of the cement matrix, it follows that a highly permeable concrete will have a high conductivity and low electrical resistance.

MICROCORE METHOD
A proven technique for the non-destructive evaluation of concrete and masonry strength taking 28 mm dia cores. Numerous studies and experiments carried out by University researchers confirm the importance and reliability of this system particularly when used in conjunction with other non-destructive testing apparatus such as the ultrasonic tester and the concrete hammer. The development has been carried out on a 28 mm dia. core sample, which due to its small size does not affect the integrity of the structure thus permitting easy restoration of the cored surface. More detailed information is supplied with the Microcore apparatus concerning the interpretation of results. This technique can also be used for assessing the carbonation depth (with the appropriate reagents) and for masonry products to verify their physical condition or to evaluate the compressive strength related to the direction of sampling.

Furthermore the compression test should be performed with a suitable compression machine considering that the max. required load should be lower than 50 kN. Cement compression testers or small universal testers may be conveniently used. Equipments for core surfaces preparation: see Section 45 Equipments for compression test: see Section 34 and 65.

CONCRETE TESTING
Concrete quality and homogeneity evaluation
Concrete quality and homogeneity evaluation

To estimate homogeneity and structural integrity the most appropriate methods are those that utilise ultrasonics. The main aim is to measure the transit time of sonic/ultrasonic pulses through concrete. The pulse velocity is dependant upon the density and the elasticity properties of the material. By comparing pulse velocities it is possible to evaluate homogeneity and identify the presence of cracks, voids, honeycombing, anomalies and nonhomogeneity of elastic properties. To gather more information concerning the material under study, different test methods can be combined, particularly ultrasonic readings with rebound hammer readings so as to obtain additional information concerning concrete strength

Ultrasonic Cross-hole Pile Integrity Testing
ULTRASONIC CROSS-HOLE TEST SYSTEM FOR PILES AND FOUNDATIONS
Introduction The cross-hole ultrasonic test method is used to check the continuity of deep foundations, diaphragm walls or stay plates by detecting cracks or faults along the shaft and the tip. The homogeneity and quality of concrete are measured and defects are located accurately, even at the top of a pile. Sonic logging is a continuous measurement of sound velocity along the pile between an emitting sensor and a receiving sensor lowered down two or more tubes held together with reinforcements. The tubes are inserted before the concrete is poured and must reach the base of the pile.

INTRODUCTION
Inorganic binders have had a role in the construction industry since pre-classical times and, after successive transformations, are today briefly classified as cements, limes and plasters. These binders, as well as being used singularly are often mixed in order to produce an end product, which meets the technical characteristics of the user. Certainly, as far back as the second century the Romans mixed lime with pozzolan to enhance its hydraulic properties and then mixed this with aggregates in order to obtain bitunium, the forefather of todays concrete. In the 18th century lime was fired with clay in order to obtain the first hydraulic limes, which were further developed in the following century into a cement industry in which plaster played an important role.
Today, the various types of binders are well known, particularly cements, and they are becoming evermore sophisticated with pre-mixed cements designed to satisfy specific structural requirements. For several decades, national standards have governed over the production of these binders and have led, in each single producing country, to a high level of diversification. The current EN Standards have drawn on the know-how of the various national bodies in order to arrive at a unified Standard. We propose a vast range of machines that satisfy, practically all requirements.

- Automatic performance of the programmed jolting cycle - Rapid mould lock and release system - High value: long-lasting and reliable over time - The digital control panel can be easily removed from the machine and wall mounted

65-L0012/EZ

This new version of jolting apparatus has been developed to fulfil precisely the EN 196-1 and ISO 679. Each single requirement as, for example, weight distribution, dimensions, structural design and working cycle is individually checked and verified. Construction characteristics - The supporting frame of the machine has been designed to ensure precise dimensions, table flatness, correct centring of the three gang mould on the table - The two arms connecting the table to the pivot end can be easily removed as they are connected by bayonet joints with locking screws. This feature allows quick checking of the weights of the individual parts - The table drop height is 15.0 mm. Since the mechanical parts are subject to wear and tear and this height tends to decrease with use, the hammer has an adjustable height, making it possible to restore the initial drop height even after prolonged use (thousands of cycles) - The motor and gearbox assembly is enclosed in a protective housing, which promotes user safety (the moving parts are inaccessible) and long life for the gearbox - The control and cycle-counter unit is digital and programmable via a membrane keyboard. LEDs and a display shows the current selection and cycle phase in real time - The digital control and cycle-counter unit may also be used separately and wall mounted (e.g. on the concrete block used as a base).

Cement compression and flexural testers
Introduction
CEMENT
The testing machines we propose provide the highest possible degree of flexibility when making the correct selection according to the test requirement. Considering that all the national European specifications are now superseded by the new EN 196 we can outline that there are just two main subdivisions:
A) EN MODELS B) ASTM/AASHTO MODELS
the bearing compression plates and flexural jigs. The EN requires both the flexural and the compression test, the ASTM C348, C349 require the same with a little difference in the flexural jig, and the ASTM C109 the compression test only on 50 mm (2) mortar cubes. Some versions of our testers can be conveniently used for testing other products and specimens such as bricks, resins, soil cement mixtures, gypsum, rocks, microcores , etc. using the appropriate accessory.
We propose three different group of testers:
The difference between the two Standards are basically the size of specimens and the specifications for
- The semiautomatic models 65-L10G2/C, L11G2/C, L12G2/C, and L13G2/C, which are fitted with the motorized pump with flow central valve and the Digimax Plus digital display and processing unit (see page 189) - The automatic models 65-L10V2, 65-L11V2, 65-L12V2 and 65-L13V2 which are fitted with the AUTOMAX system (see page 194) - The advanced automatic testing systems in various configurations which includes the different compression and flexural frames plus the control consoles SERCOMP 7, MCC 8 or ADVANTEST 9 which can also be connected to other frames to combine complete testing systems (see pages 209-217).

Introduction
CEMENT
Test laboratories that examine the mechanical properties of building materials require advanced Test Systems that guarantee a high degree of accuracy and compliance to the reference Standards. They also require user friendly equipment, rapid set up and execution, automation, flexibility, and the possibility to integrate with an existing network so as to create a comprehensive data storage and management procedure. The testing systems consist of a con-
trol console including hydraulic pump and circuit, electrical/electronic apparatus and strength measurement system, connected to 1 to 4 different frames. Different testing software can complete the testing system. Controls has recently updated and improved this important line of testing apparatus by the new SERCOMP 7 and MCC 8 control consoles which can be connected to up four different compression and
flexural frames for cement and concrete specimens. Complete description of the Sercomp 7 and MCC 8 series are given on pages 208 - 210. All testing frames concerning cement testing, connectable to the above control consoles are shown and described in the following pages.

INTRODUCTION
This section illustrates universal

testing machines and accessories in particular for mechanical tests on steel specimens and on reinforcing bars. However some of the machines shown, for example the electromechanical models, can be used for many other applications for testing in compression or flexure other construction materials such as concrete, cement, rock, asphalt, soil, etc. Most of the machines are controlled by PC assuring a simplification and rationalisation of test procedures with all the other advantages associated with the use of the most modern electronic and informatics techniques.

STEEL
Universal computerised electromechanical Testers 200 and 300 kN capacity (continued)
General description The machines consist essentially of a robust two column frame with an upper crosshead which can be adjusted in height and a lower mobile crosshead moved by an electromechanical system with a single recirculating ball screw powered by a DC permanent magnet servomotor which assures smooth application of load at constant speed. The stress is measured by a load cell incorporated in the upper crosshead and the displacement by an encoder fitted to the DC motor. The advanced microprocessor technology achieves a large flexibility in conducting the test. The menu driven program gives the operator the possibility of performing the test under a wide range of conditions under load, elongation and displacement control. The machines are supplied complete with high precision load cell and PC. Gripping systems, extensometers and accessories are not included and have to be ordered separately. See accessories. Frame specifications - Max. load: 200 or 300 kN - Max. vertical daylight: 800 mm (without accessories) - Distance between columns: 610 mm - Crosshead travel: 200 mm - Testing speed range: 0-100 mm/min - Max. load rate: 100 kN/s - Machines class: 1 - Encoder resolution: 0.01 mm - Encoder accuracy: better than 0.2%

Introduction
The new technology utilised in this series of testing machines is based on the use of PC applications, which allow a totally new concept in steel testing. Gone are the old control consoles full of knobs and switches. Thanks to the use of the latest technology this new series provides both perfect closed loop hydraulic control and ergonomic operator usage. All the control functions are now managed from a standard keyboard and mouse. Our frames differ substantially from the old traditional models because of the originality of their design, new solutions employed and their extremely simple operation. The sophisticated software consists of a very complete suite of programs, not only for tension tests, but also flexure bending and compression on steel, and flexure and compression tests on concrete specimens, in compliance with the new EN specifications. Other accessories are available to test steel strands and electrowelded steel screen.

Introduction Extensometers used for measuring the extension of specimens in traction, particularly in the case of steel or brittle materials, are only able to detect strain during the first stage of the test, or rather, while the brittle materials conserve their elasticity as they have to be disconnected before failure. This simple and economic system, the result of our experience in this field, fully satisfies these requirements because: - it is applied directly to the specimen - it remains connected until breakage - it measures extension with high precision of both the elastic and plastic stage and with the appropriate simple adjustments, it is connectable to almost all testing machines - it avoids markings on the test pieces.
determines the measuring base, which, as is well known, must be 5 times the diameter of the specimen (in the case of breaking point measurements). The two end sections consist of two mechanisms for gripping the specimen. One carries the electrical extensometer, the other an anvil.
Detail of the extensometer after fracture. The two end sections remain connected to the specimen part without suffering any stress. Patent pending

INTRODUCTION
Bituminous materials, a by-product of the oil distillation process, look set to remain as a constituent material of road paving for some considerable time to come, being used to withstand the flexural and compressive stresses caused by traffic. Due to the ever increasing intensity of todays traffic conditions there is a demand for higher levels of performance from asphalt. As a result, the testing of the asphalt needs to look not only at the constituent mix, but the performance characteristics as well. There is an increasing demand to monitor the asphalt for voids percentage, look at the levels of compaction and investigate parameters such as the stiffness modulus and fatigue resistance in relation to the temperature, together with frequency of load or strain application. The range of testing equipment in this section of the catalogue is in conformity with the new European Draft Standards and the requirements of SHRP (Strategic Highway Research Program) to allow for a more in depth and realistic analysis of asphalt mixes.
The new EN standards
Important new European Standards, specific to Asphalt and Road testing have been introduced since the Controls 5th edition catalogue was published. These new EN and pr EN produced by CEN/TC 227 Road Materials replace those previous National Standards and are grouped under the following headings: Bituminous mixtures. Test methods for hot mix asphalt. Standards EN 12697-1 to 12697-44 Surface dressing. Test methods. Standards pr EN 12272-1 to 12272-3 Slurry surfacing. Test methods. Standards pr EN 12274-1 to 12274-5 Pavement surface characteristics. Test methods. Standards pr EN 13036-1 to 13036-7 In the majority of cases the new pr EN and EN standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart for some exception, there should be almost no difference in the specification of test apparatus. We will continue to propose, however, the test apparatus conforming to the National Standards.

ASPHALT
TEST METHODS: SOLUBLE BINDER CONTENT
Introduction This European standard describes a unified approach to the examination of bituminous mixtures that allows some divergence in the detail of procedures followed by individual laboratories.
Guidance on the test method is given in the following Table. Although the apparatus specified for the separation of mineral filler from the binder solution obtained after extraction is of a suitably efficient level not to affect the precision of the test, a method for determining the amount of residual mineral matter is the Incineration method (pos. C of the table) for use in those particular cases
where some doubt may exist. Methods and equipment, other than those, including automated equipment, are permissible provided that it has been demonstrated that they provide the same results within the limits of the precision given in the Standard.

TEST METHODS: SOLUBLE BINDER CONTENT (CONTINUED)
General description and specifications The test method for determining the binder content of a test portion of bituminous mixture, normally comprises the following basic operations, which are shown in the Table 1: a) Binder extraction by dissolving in a hot or cold solvent
b) Separation of mineral matter from the binder solution c) Determination of binder quantity by difference or binder recovery and calculation of soluble binder content. The sequence of operations and choice of test procedures to be followed are illustrated in the Table 1. If it is suspected that water is present in the laboratory sample, it should be dried to constant mass or the water content may be determined by the method described in EN
12697-14 (see page 330) or the sample treated as in EN 12697-28. All test procedures and associated equipment relating to each basic operation shown on Table are equally acceptable. Other equipment and procedures, including non-extraction methods, can also be used. There are documented data to show that the method and equipment will provide results with a precision no worse than that of one of the procedures explicitly shown in Table 1.

General description and specifications The 75-B0009 Asphalt Binder Analyser combines a sophisticated furnace and weighing system to continuously measure the weight loss of a bituminous mixture during combustion, and automatically calculate its binder content at the end of the test. An independently controlled afterburner significantly reduces furnace emissions. The analyser is supplied with two sets of sample trays, loading handle, cooling cage and printer paper a printer that provides a permanent record of tests, and On/Off power controls. Input of the sample start weight, which must always be weighed externally, can be entered either manually or automatically via an optional second external balance connected to the unit via RS 232 digital communications and eliminates the possibility of operator error. Both "asphalt mix" and "dry aggregate" calibration factors can be determined automatically by the Asphalt Binder Analyser unit. The unit has the unique advantage of being able to calculate the binder content using calibration factors based on asphalt mixes and dry aggregate samples. Safety features - Automatic door locking during testing, which cannot be disabled by interruption of the power supply, once the test has commenced. - Door safety switch isolate-power to the elements when the door is opened.

This European Standard applies to hot mix asphalt with D not larger than 31.5 mm for the impact and gyratory compactors, and 40 mm for the vibratory compactor.
EN Impact (Marshall) automatic compactor. 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.

The apparatus automatically compacts the sample and stops after the preset number of blows. The mould is held in position by a quick clamping device. The trip mechanism is arranged so that the sliding hammer falls at the same distance for every blow. The compactor includes the laminate hardwood block and vibrated concrete base 450x450x200 mm. The soundproof and security cabinet is not included and should be ordered separately and factory installed. See code 76-B4200/XUP.

Main changes and differences compared with the ASTM D1559, AASHTO T245, and BS 598 standards The new EN standard concerning the Impact Compactor with wooden pedestal (clause 4.2) substantially differs from the ASTM D1559 and AASHTO T245 in the following construction major details: - Total weight of the rammer (sliding mass: 4550 20 g plus cylindrical guide rod and foot: 3960 20 g) of 8510 40 g instead of 7850 9 g - Wooden pedestal and fixation system - Blows frequency: 50 blows within 55 s to 60 s (not specified by ASTM/AASHTO and lower than BS 598: 60 5 per minute) - Device for the measurement of the specimen thickness during compaction (code 76-B4300/UP1) - Concrete block 450x450x200 mm - Mould assembly dimensions and shape. Furthermore, safety and inspection requirements shall be applied as for example a soundproof cubicle to be locked automatically when the apparatus is running. Our model 76-B4312 upgraded with the 76-B4200/XUP soundproof and security cabinet fully satisfy the EN standards.

D6307, SHRP M-002
Introduction These Standards specify the method for compaction of cylindrical specimens of bituminous mixtures using a gyratory compactor. Such compaction is achieved by combining a rotary shearing action and a vertical resultant force applied by a mechanical head. The method can be used for: - the preparation of specimens of given height at a predetermined density, for subsequent testing of their mechanical properties; - the derivation of a curve density versus number of gyrations; - the void content for a given number of gyrations.
This Standard applies to bituminous mixtures (both those made up in laboratory and those resulting from work site sampling), with an upper aggregate size not larger than 37.5 mm. During operation the bituminous mixture is contained within a cylindrical mould limited by inserts and kept at a constant temperature within specified tolerances throughout the whole duration of the test. Compaction is achieved by the simultaneous action of a low static compression, and of the shearing action resulting of the motion of the centreline of the test piece, which generates a conical surface of revolution, while the ends of the test piece remain approximately perpendicular to the axis of the conical surface. This method, recommended by the Strategic Highway Research Program SHRP - SuperPaveTM System and approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is used to produce asphalt specimens that best predict long term pavement performance. The procedure has been established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).

GYRATORY COMPACTORS. MEASUREMENT OF INTERNAL ANGLE
Introduction The importance of a precise gyratory angle has been widely noted. The measurement of the internal angle represents, in practice, the most accurate method of calibration. This method comprises two individual values: - Angle between cylinder and top plate and - Angle between cylinder and bottom plate. The average of these two values is taken as the internal angle. To date the angle calibration of gyratory compactors has been considered a difficult task leading to wide variations in results even between machines of the same brand. The 76-B0255 ILS calibration device fully satisfies the verifications requirements to measure the internal angle. It can also be used on any makes of gyratory compactors.
76-B0255
PATENT PENDING - Summary print of measurement is automated with a PC - Quick and accurate measurement: less than 30 minutes - No hot mix asphalt required - Fits to any make gyratory compactor - No height extrapolation needed - Reproducibility is in 0.01Class, fitting to all standards
ILS Internal Angle Measurement apparatus

General description and operating principle The ILS measuring tool is an electromechanical device in cylindrical shape, which will perfectly suit into any gyratory mould (in accordance with 150 mm standard). One short run (10 cycles) is performed for measuring the internal compaction angle of the upper end plate. The ILS is read, and the same is repeated for the bottom end plate. The all over gyratory angle is determined by these two angle values. During the measurements the ILS is generating an accurate mechanical load simulating the presence of mixture, at the correct height of a real mix. By using different generated load levels similar way the angle response of the compaction machine can also be measured. The ILS is supplied complete with Excel macro for data capture and result calculations. With the ILS one gyratory machine can be checked in 30 minutes, with highest accuracy and without need for hot mix.

q STANDARD
EN 12697-9, EN 12697-10, 12697-32
Introduction and operating principle This test method is used for the preparation of bituminous test specimens using a vibratory compaction technique. It is applicable to loose mixtures and cores and is used to establish a reference density for a bituminous mixture in accordance with the procedures described in EN 12697-9, or the ease of compaction as described in EN 12697-10. During operation, after the mixing, preparation and conditioning of a bituminous specimen in the laboratory, the heating of a core extracted from the road surface to compaction temperature, or the conditioning of plant-mixed material, the material or core is placed in a standard mould with attached baseplate and collar and compacted by a vibratory hammer. If required, the specimen is compacted to refusal and the refusal density is determined in accordance with EN 12697-9. After completion of compaction, the bulk density of the compacted specimen is determined in accordance with pr EN 12697-6. For loose material prepared or compacted in the laboratory, or plantmixed material compacted in the laboratory, the refusal density is an indication of the potential maximum density, which may be achieved under field conditions.

This standard concerns the laboratory mixing of samples to be used for mechanical tests as for example compaction, indirect tensile, Marshall etc. The quantity must be related to the maximum aggregate size and batch size. The bituminous mix must be prepared at a prescribed temperature depending on the paving grade bitumens within a time limited to reduce mechanical treatment of the aggregates. For this reason the mixers must be equipped with a thermostatically controlled heating and mechanical speed control.

Introduction The resilient modulus is determined by the repeated load triaxial compression tests and is calculated as the ratio of the amplitude of the repeated axial stress to the amplitude of the resultant recoverable axial strain. The value of resilient modulus obtained from this procedure is a measure of the elastic modulus of untreated base and subbase materials and sub-grade soils, characterised by a non-linear elastic stress/strain behaviour.

Roller compactor "ROLLERCOMP". 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.

Accessories and spares General description and specifications The ROLLERCOMP provides a pneumatically powered means of compacting slabs of asphaltic material in the laboratory under conditions, which simulate in-situ compaction. Different levels of vertical force can be selected up to approximately 30 kN. As the width of the roller is 300 mm, the compactive effort of the largest static site roller can be reproduced. Slabs produced measure 305 mm by 305 mm and from 50 mm to 100 mm thick. The precise depth of a slab can be preset enabling the user to compact a certain mass of material to a selected volume thus providing a target mix density. The ROLLERCOMP is contained within a safety enclosure with mesh panels and doors. 77-B0360/1 305x305x50 mm s deep ROLLERCOMP and wheel tracker mould 77-B0360/2 305x305x75 mm s deep ROLLERCOMP and wheel tracker mould 77-B0360/3 305x305x100 mm s deep ROLLERCOMP and wheel tracker mould

Introduction This method is used for determining the ductility of bituminous materials by measuring the elongation before breaking when two ends of a briquette specimen are pulled apart at a specified speed and temperature. The test is performed with a ductility machine, which can be fitted with a liquid refrigerator-circulator (see model 86-D2030/A) to perform tests at a temperature below 25C or for use in tropical areas. Furthermore the standard ductility machine 81-B0140 can be upgraded with a Force ductility kit to measure the tensile force exerted on the specimens and determining the conventional energy of bitumen binders from traction characteristics. This upgraded option (see code 81B0140/UP1) includes three load cells, digital display unit and Macro-Excel program for data acquisition and processing for connection to PC.

Testing equipment for the construction

Industry includes a large number of item that cannot be located in a specific application field such as concrete, cement, asphalt etc. but are for general use or for more than one application. Furthermore, the ISO 9000 standards concerning Quality Assurance Systems require a number of measuring instruments which are employed either in the central or field laboratories to check the testing equipment and the environmental conditions. All these items along with the core drilling equipment and mobile laboratories have been grouped in this large General family.

Introduction The verification of force transfer includes: - Accuracy of force indication - Self-alignment of the upper machine plate - Alignment of the upper machine plate - Restraint of movement of the upper plate Conforming to the new EN 12390-4 standard, all compression machines have to be tested to verify not only the accuracy of force indication but: the self-alignment, alignment and restraint of movement of the upper plate too. These verifications can be performed using the strain gauged column 82-E0105/1 and the digital tester 82-P0804/E with suitable software as described on the following pages. The accuracy of force indication only can be performed using the same above apparatus or the 82-P0801/E tester with a suitable load cell as shown on page 402.
Verification of the force transfer of a compression tester by the strain gauged column 82-E0105/1 Digital tester 82-P0804/E, PC, Printer and 82-P0804/E1 software
platen using a special strain gauged column (e.g. our model 82-E0105/1) connected to a suitable data acquisition and processing system (e.g. our model 82-P0804/E). The same apparatus has been adopted
by most of the national European specifications and, recently by the EN specifications (EN 12390-4). All EN compression testers shown in this catalogue meet these stringent specifications.
Satisfactory failure
Importance of the verification of force transfer The result of a compression test on a cube or cylinder specimen is affected to a considerable extent (up to 3035%) by a non-uniform application of the load on the surface of the sample - this results in an exceptional force being applied to the material and its premature failure. For this reason the calibration certificate for the force measurement instrument mounted on the machine does not guarantee the accuracy of the strength result. Usually a nonuniform application of the load leads to unsatisfactory failures as shown opposite, which cannot be related to a known loss of strength. Since 1983, the BS 1881 specifications have included a testing procedure in addition to the normal calibration test, which verifies the self-alignment of machine components and the restraint on movement of the upper
Unsatisfactory failure
Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is caused by an incorrect load application. The resultant compression resistance can be up to 30-35% lower than the true resistance

General description These machines consist essentially in three main parts: - The motor (electric, petrol driven or air driven) - The base with adjustable feet and wheels - The support column. These three parts can be easily assembled and disassembled for transportation. The support steel column can be angled with respect to the base. The motor support is mounted on rollers and ball bearings. The aluminium base can be easily fitted on site by anchors, by suitable holding column or by vacuum using the appropriate accessory. Both the electric and petrol driven models can be used at any angle within the horizontal position using an appropriate fixing making sure that flushing water does not drop directly onto the motor and there is no petrol leakage. For vertical ceiling coring it is preferable to use the air motor model. For internal use we suggest the machine is fitted with a water collector system. (See accessories) The machines have to be completed with the coring bits. See table on next page. Electric models

"The Customer" shall mean the person firm or Company who contracts to purchase in full or in part the goods from the Company. Any contract entered into by the Company for the supply of goods is subject to these conditions. Any writing on or attached to any purchase order form, document or correspondences shall not be included or implied unless previously agreed upon in writing and signed by an authorised officer of the Company. No order for supply arising from a quotation or otherwise shall be deemed to be accepted or constitute a legally enforceable contract with the Company until accepted in writing by the Company or until delivery of the goods, whichever shall be the earlier.

Where the goods are delivered in instalments or in the course of two or more separate deliveries any failure to make such payments due on or before the due date will entitle the Company at its option to treat the contract of sale as voided by the Customer and in such event the Company reserves all rights thereon which may be accrued to the Company prior to such termination. In the event of non-payment, late payment or other default by the Customer the Company shall be entitled to recover all legal costs thereby incurred together also with interest on outstanding money, calculated at 1/2% per calendar month or part month compounded monthly.

The Customer shall not resell, assign or constitute as surety the purchased goods without having first paid the full price to the Company. Any executory process taken by third parties which may effect such goods shall immediately be notified to the Company. Nothing herein shall constitute that the Customer is the Agent of the Company for the purposes of any resale.

Names, addresses and trademarks on illustrations indicate ownership of the artwork and must not be taken at necessarily indicating the manufacturers. Any description given of the goods is by way of identification only and does not constitute a sale by description or sample.
6.3
Delivery time
Any date quoted by the Company for despatch is given in good faith by way of estimate only. While the Company will endeavour to deliver within the period stated, such date is not to be of the essence of the contract and the Customer shall be bound to accept the goods when they become available. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage or delays in transit or consequential losses or losses including loss of profit resulting in any way in respect of late delivery howsoever caused even in such cases as the Company has expressly agreed in writing a delivery date, nor shall such failure to deliver on the date or within the period named by the Company be deemed to be a breach of contract.

In all cases where defects or shortages are complained of, the Company shall be under no liability in respect thereof unless an opportunity to inspect the goods is afforded to the Company before any use is made thereof or any alteration or modification is made thereto by the Customer.

Amendments to any order will only be accepted by prior agreement. Orders cancelled before delivery will be subject to a cancellation fee. For orders cancelled after delivery, the Company reserves the right to impose a handling charge of not less than 15% on returned goods save in circumstances where the goods are returned by reason of defects or shortages which it is the Company's duty under the terms of the Agreement to rectify.
