INDENTATION TESTING MACHINE
ADVANCED AUTO DATA LOGGING MACHINE
A
high
quality
machine
for
the
indentation
test
with
advanced
auto
data
logging
software
to
record
and
present
the
results
via
real
time
charts
The
Indentation
Testing
Machine
CRT-IND
for
determining
the
resistance
to
penetration
of
road
and
mastic
asphalt
by
loading
a
cylindrical
pin
and
measuring
the
indentation
in
a
sample
over
a
given
time.
The
CRT-IND
comprises
of
a
frame
incorporating
a
stainless
steel
water
bath
with
drain
facility,
method
of
applying
the
500
Newton
load
and
means
of
recording
the
test
results.The
apparatus
conforms
to
the
requirements
of
EN
12697-20.The
maximum
nominal
size
of
the
aggregates
should
be
less
or
equal
to
16
mm.
It
comes
with
optional
auto
data
logging
software
which
saves
test
data
files,
shows
a
graphical
representation
of
the
test
in
real
time,
reduces
operator
involvement and thus eliminates chances of error.
•
Auto data logging software available which:
o
Reduces operator involvement
o
Eliminates chances of error
o
Generates graphical representation of the test in real time
o
Saves operator data, sample information data, time, and pertinent information relevant to the specific sample on test
o
Reduces test costs significantly
•
Heater element to comply with both temperatures requested by EN standard
•
Stainless steel
•
Temperature controlled water bath with drain facility
•
Digital indicator with digital communications.
•
CE Marked and Made in United Kingdom
KEY USE
•
Determines the depth of indentation.
•
To test the behavior of mastic asphalt, rolled and other such asphalts.
SOFTWARE
•
CRT-INSOFT,
A
Cooper
Technology
designed
and
developed
software
package
that
allows
for
the
automatic
capture
to
PC
of
test
data
from
the
indentation
test
at
the
two
required
test
temperatures*
and
over
the
four
time
durations.
This
software
shows
a
graphical
representation of the test in real time, storing the data in text files that can subsequently be opened in Excel.
* Additional function allows the user to input a temperature between 5°C (or ambient if higher) and 95°C.
