Our Company
Our pride and joy
Research & Development
A name, a meaning
Our R&D specialists,
often collaborating
actively with the
academic world, have
developed highly specialized
testing systems
and updated a number
of new products.
During the months preceding March 1968, when the com-
pany was founded, we were involved, among other things, with fin-
ding 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 com-
mercial 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 fore-
front 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.
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 anti-
seismic construction, land protection, and building recovery, has crea-
ted 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.
Our Industrial Production
Quality and efficiency
Our Industrial Production
Quality and efficiency
CONTROLS since its beginning, has been the designer and
manufacturer of its testing machines and accessories which, after
nearly forty years of activity, now numbers several thousands.
This impressive number and the series production are the
way to good quality products at an acceptable cost. This is due to
our production organization based on complete internal standardi-
zation, real time inventory management and a rigorous acceptance
inspection of all parts ordered from outiside suppliers.
A team of expert assembly technicians and meticulous
testing of the final products complete our effort.

Weighing Samples
Balances and scales
Introduction
Balances are a general pur-
pose laboratory apparatus used
either for soil, aggregates, cement,
concrete and asphalt testing.
Controls supply a wide range of
models suitable for different appli-
cations 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 periodi-
cally check the balances.
How to select balances
Where not specified by the relevant stan-
dards, 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 mea-
sured which is another suitable choice cri-
teria.
Other standards covering aggregates and
granular materials in general give informa-
tion about the quantity of aggregate to be
tested depending upon its size (UNI 8520
part 5, BS 812: part 1, BS 598 etc.). The dif-
ferent standards give practically the same
recommendation so we have included this
information in a separate table.

Testing sieves
Introduction
SPECIFICATIONS
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 confor-
ming 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 manufactu-
red from stainless steel. Perforated
plates are made from tinned steel.
Sieves having the same nominal dia-
meter are designed to nest one in
each other. Using 200 mm (8") sie-
ves it is possible to test up to 1000
g of aggregates and 3000 g with
300 mm (12") dia.
STANDARDS
a) European
Conforming to the new European EN stan-
dards all sieves for the construction indu-
stry are specified by the following stan-
dards:
EN 933-2
Test for geometrical properties of aggregates
Determination of particle size distribution
Test sieves, nominal size of apertures
ISO 3310-1
Test sieves of woven wire cloth
ISO 3310-2
Test sieves of perforated metal plate
ISO 565
Nominal size of openings for woven wire
and perforated plate sieves.
The most common national standards
including BS 410, NF X11-504, DIN 4187-1,
UNI 2331 - 2333, UNE 7050 are practically
identical to the ISO 3310-1 and 2, except
for some missing openings which have
been included in the list for those users
who prefer to complete or substitute exi-
sting old sets. The new European standards
also specify that: "Sieves with aperture size
of 4 mm and above shall be perforated
plate square hole test sieves. Below that
size they shall be woven wire test sieves."
b) American
The sieves are conforming to the following
standards:
ASTM E11
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 pro-
duct as requested by the international spe-
cifications. On request each sieve can be
supplied with a calibration certificate.

15-D0409
SIEVE SHAKERS
FOR SIEVES UP TO 315* MM (12") DIA.
Introduction
We propose three different models
which differ one to another, for the
sieving motion:
- Vertical only for the 15-D0407/B
model
- Vertical and rotational with con-
tinuous or intermittent operation
and adjustable vibration intensity
for the 15-D0409 model
- Vertical, orbital and jarring
motion for the electromechanical
model 15-D0411.
The 15-D0407/B can also be used,
removing the upper plate, as a vibra-
ting table for one concrete speci-
mens.
ELECTROMAGNETIC DIGITAL SIEVE SHAKER
15-D0409
Electromagnetic digital sieve shaker
for sieves up to 315 mm dia.
230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph.
qSTANDARD
EN 932-5, ISO 3310-1
This new and advanced sieve shaker fully
satisfy the standards, which require that
the test material on any given sieve pro-
gresses over the surface of the sieve when
it is agitated. Conforming to ISO 3310-1 it
can hold round sieves up to 315 mm dia.
The main features of this shaker consists in
the multiple vibration motion:
- Vertical by the electromagnet
- Rotational by the three laminated
suspension springs in both ways.
The shaker is provided with a microproces-
sor digital control system with display unit
for the following functions:
- Timer 0-99 min by 1 min steps or conti-
nuous operation
- Continuous or intermittent operation
(very important for critical products to
intensify the sieving action reducing the
duration of operation)
- Adjustable vibration intensity
The shaker is also fitted with antivibration
dampers, which totally isolate the machine
from work surfaces reducing the noise level.

choice for supplying advanced and high level equip-
ment 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 CON-
TROLS can also be seen in Universities and Technical
Institutes for the training and education of tomor-
row's geo-technical engineers and technicians.
In all sections of civil engineering and par-
ticularly 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

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 semi-
cohesive 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 measu-
res, which are often affected by remoulding,

ASTM D2573
This tester, designed to measure the
undrained shear strength (Cu) of cohesive
soils, consists of a cylindrical body with a
torsional spring and three interchangeable
vanes of different sizes used depending
upon the expected strength of the soil.
The vanes have the following dimensions:
- small size 32x16 mm (height x dia.)
- medium size 40x20 mm (height x dia.)
- large size 50.8x25.4 mm (height x dia.).
The height/diameter ratio of all vanes is 2.
During operation the vane is driven for 5-6
cm into the soil and then turned with the
handle. Deep measures (i.e. on the top of
undisturbed samples) can be obtained
using the extension rod.

Dynamic penetrometers
The design of the DCP is similar to that
described by Kleyn, Maree and Savage
(1982) in that it uses an 8 kg weight drop-
ping 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 hand-
le/top rod and bottom rod/cone joints.

TRL* Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
(DCP)
The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer)
is an instrument designed for the rapid in-
situ measurement of the structural proper-
ties of existing road pavements constructed
with unbound materials. Continuous mea-
surements can be made down to a depth of
approximately 850 mm or when extension
shafts are used to a recommended maxi-
mum 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 establi-
shed 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 com-
pared with CBR specifications for pavement
design. A typical test takes only a few minu-
tes and therefore the instrument provides a
very efficient method of obtaining informa-
tion that would normally require the dig-
ging of test-pits.

qSTANDARD
BS 6576
The moisture content can be determined
using Moisture testers based on the cal-
cium 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.

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 cha-
racterise them simply, so that physi-
cal and mechanical properties may
be quickly assessed. For this purpose
a series of index tests have been
properly developed and internatio-
nally standardised. By performing
proper classification tests it is possi-
ble to describe accurately a soil in
such a way that its characterisation
is recognised internationally.

Determination of soil resistivity
DETERMINATION OF SOIL RESISTIVITY
qSTANDARD
BS 1377:3
The resistivity value indicates the relative
capability of the soil to carry electric cur-
rents from which the corrosiveness of the
soil can be deduced.
Wenner probe method
This procedure enables the electrical resisti-
vity 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 relati-
vely free-draining materials into which
water can percolate easily.

Introduction
This test determines the rate and
magnitude of consolidation of soil
when it is restrained laterally and
subjected to a number of successive
increments of vertical loads. This
measure is a requirement of the
foundation, road and soils engineer.
n o t e
The oedometer is supplied without dial
gauge, consolidation cells and weights,
which have to be ordered separately.
See consolidation cells and accessories
next page.
CONSOLIDATION CELLS /
FIXED RING AND PERMEABILITY
The fixed ring models are open to the
atmosphere, which permits the saturation
of the sample, whereas in the permeability
cell models, the sample and the saturating
water are sealed from the atmosphere.
Complete with reservoir, hose connection,
upper and lower porous discs, pressure pad
and stainless steel sample cutting collar.

Main features
- Designed to perform continuous consoli-
dation tests in conjunction with a tradi-
tional compression machine generally
used for triaxial tests
- Double chamber cell, so that two diffe-
rent and independent water pressures
can be applied
- Pore pressure measured at the base of
the specimen with a strain gauge tran-
sducer
- Drainage circuit connected at the top of
the specimen for consolidation
- The unit must be connected to other
equipment and data acquisition and pro-
cessing unit (See configuration of com-
plete system).
Advantages
- Continuous monitoring of test parame-
ters (axial load, pore pressure, axial com-
pression) and detailed plotting of the
consolidation curve
- Relatively short time to perform the test
(less than half the time of a traditional
consolidation test, incremental loading
type)
- More accurate and reliable evaluation of
consolidation and compressibility para-
meters
- Particularly suitable for cohesive satura-
ted soils.

110-220 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph.
This new and advanced model micropro-
cessor 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 appli-
cation of the vertical load eliminates the
manual loading of the dead weight when
performing standard tests.
For more information ask our sales depart-
ment.

SOIL TESTING
TRIAXIAL TESTS
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 expe-
rimental 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 perfor-
med 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 con-
stant 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
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 sam-
ple, 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 horizon-
tal and the shear strength is constant and equal to Cu (undrained
shear strength).
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 speci-
mens 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.
Consolidated Undrained (CU) tests
With this test method the shear strength is measured in terms of
effective stress. At least three specimens are allowed to consolida-
te (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 calcula-
ted as the difference between the total stress and the pore pressure.

Intoduction
This new series of automatic machine has
been designed to perform compression
triaxial tests both in consolidation and fai-
lure stage.
The consolidation stage can also be perfor-
med in anisotropic conditions, with k
0
< 1
(i.e. vertical stress higher than horizontal
stress).
All the tests are carried out automatically
either in controlled rate of displacement (as
the traditional compression machines) or in
controlled rate of load (particularly suitable
for consolidation stage) and terminated
automatically at pre-set test conditions.
The 28-T0403/AC machine can be upgra-
ded to perform also extension tests (exten-
sion-unload). See upgrading options.

reports a special software, Windows com-
patible, is available for triaxial tests (see
Geolab 2000, code 30-T0601/P3).
The following diagrams and printouts are
available for a single or for a group of tests:
- Mohrs circle plots and Mohr-Coulomb
linear failure envelope
- Stress path plots and failure envelope
(according to MIT analysis)
- Axial stress vs. axial strain
- Pore pressure vs. axial strain (for CU
triaxial tests)
- Volume change vs. axial strain (for CD

UPGRADING OPTIONS
COMPRESSION AND EXTENSION TESTS
(EXTENSION-UNLOAD)
Introduction
The 28-T0403/AC machine can be upgraded
to perform extension tests (extension-
unloaded), where the axial stress can be
reduced below the horinzontal stress.
This condition (where the factor K
0
is >1)
can be automatically carried out either in
the consolidation or in the failure stage, at
constant rate of stress. The maximum tensi-
le capacity is 8 kN. Data recording, downloa-
ding to PC, processing and printing are car-
ried on in the same way described above.

Pressure system
Introduction
The pressure system provides two
separate lines for the desired con-
stant pressure inside the triaxial cell
(cell pressure system) and in the spe-
cimen drainage line (back pressure
system).
A specimen volume change indicator
(burette or electric transducer type)
is also provided.
The system is completed by a de-
aired 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.

STRESS PATH TRIAXIAL TESTS
WITH AUTOMATIC PRESSURE
CONTROLLERS
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, consolida-
tion and failure. The controllers are associa-
ted 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 dif-
ferent stage of triaxial tests.
Automatic test system. (Air compressor and de-airing tank not shown)
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 measure-
ment of hydraulic pressures applied to
the soil samples
- Completely automatic management of
the tests through p.c.

We propose two different models for con-
tinuous working pressure up to 800 kPa
(model 86-D2015) or up to 1000 kPa
(model 86-D2018). An auxiliary air reservoir
50 litres cap. is recommended for use with
the 86-D2018 model. The use of an Air
dryer (model 86-D2019) is also recommen-
ded to avoid damage to valves, machine

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 de-
aired water from the de-airing
tank (that can be placed anywhe-
re) 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.
Used in conjunction with a vacuum source
(ex. 28-T0492/A apparatus) this item provi-
des a very efficient and therefore quick
means of removing the air from water. The
de-airing tank consists of a perspex cylin-
der 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.

advantage of placing the de-airing tank
anywhere and quickly filling the de-aired
water to the system by a simple valve.

General description
This apparatus has been designed to redu-
ce 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 requi-
red for anisotropic consolidation (see acces-
sories). 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 coun-
terbalance of the frame is not required.
Bench dimensions: 1300x585 mm
B Overall dimensions (hxdxl):
1300x800x970 mm

tropic consolidation stage of three

Software: The new GEOLAB 2000 system
All the available programs: from 30-
T0601/P1 to 30-T0601/P10 described below
have been designed conforming to the
latest requirement of the modern advanced
laboratories.
They can be used for:
Consolidation tests Triaxial tests (UU,
CU, CD) controlled at each step (satu-
ration, consolidation, failure) Direct
shear test Residual shear test (multi-
reversal test) Unconfined compressi-
ve strength CBR test.
The programs for the above tests have been
specifically designed to incorporate the
majority of test procedures carried out
throughout the world according to the
International Standards.
The system, which is housed in a special
console, is supplied as standard to accept
up to 8 signals coming from as many tran-
sducers. Each one of these signals can be
independently calibrated and reset. The
monitor shows graphically the course of
each selected test.
Complete configuration
The system is supplied for connection to a
high resolution graphic printing unit. A
typical system comprises:
- Computer
- Software programs. See 30-T0601/P1 to
30-T0601/R0
The system can be expanded by up to four
units connected through a serial cable, cor-
responding to 32 channels. This new appa-
ratus also has the advantage of being used
without PC for manual processing of data
or for using other processing systems. It is
possible:
- To select the unit for each channel (e.g.
N, kPa, mm, etc.)
- To select full range of every channel thus
changing the transducer type
- To select different acquisition scanning
- To monitor channels involved in each
test
- To print in real time the stored data of
each test
- To display stored data of each channel.
PC and printer are not included.

i m p o r t a n t n o t e
The new 30-T0601/A can be connected to
the previous model 30-T0601 for a multi-
ple system of up to 32 channels. Please
contact our technical-commercial Dept.
for more information.
n o t e
The system 30-T0601/A, complete with
Geolab 2000 software package, requires a
personal computer where Windows
package (from 95 Release) must be avai-
lable. The data transmission is carried out
via the serial port RS 232.
All the recorded data and the general
information of each test can be exported
in ASCII code in order to be compatible,
readable and processed by many software
package MS-DOS or Windows compatible
(Excel, Winword, Grapher, etc.).
A proper software package (see
30-T0601/R0) is devoted to customised
printout of test reports, so that most high
resolution printers are compatible. The
system has to be completed with the pro-
tection key.

Introduction
When highway or railway
earthworks, bases, subbases and
dams are constructed and subgrades
are prepared, it is necessary to com-
pact the material mechanically, to
confer a high degree of density.
This procedure increases the
shear strength, reduces the permea-
bility 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 adop-
ted 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-compac-
ted 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 proce-
dure, at the "optimum moisture
content".
The new EN and pr EN standards:
pr EN 13286 Unbound and hydraulically
bound mixtures. Test methods for labora-
tory dry density and water content
A number of new EN standards have
been developed or are under deve-
lopment covering this subject. The
test methods are practically identical
to those of the other standards
except for some dimension and spe-
cification of testing apparatus. For
this reason we prefer to propose
separately all the EN testing appara-
tus even if, very often, they are iden-
tical to those referring to other stan-
dards.

COMPACTO 33-T8500 SERIES
AUTOMATIC PROCTOR/CBR COMPACTORS
Introduction
This new and advanced digital model can
be supplied in two versions:
Standard models 33-T8502 (230 V, 50 Hz,
1 ph.), 33-T8503 (220 V, 60 Hz, 1 ph.), 33-
T8504 (110 V, 60 Hz, 1 ph.)
Programmable model 33-T8532 (230 V,
50 Hz, 1 ph.)
The two versions are identical except for
the digital control: the standard model is
factory programmed to perform all stan-
dard compaction conforming American
ASTM/AASHTO and European pr EN, BS, NLT
whilst the programmable model can also be
set to suit special compaction cycles for
research purposes and can perform the
central compaction blows in the 6" (150
mm) dia. moulds conforming the French NF
and the Dutch RAV standards.
The 33-T8502, 33-T8503, and
33-T8504 compactors do not include
the internal rammer, which has to be
ordered separately conforming the
selected standards.
All models can be supplied complete with
noise reduction cabinet (See Upgrading
option code 33-T8500/XUP).

The Compacto digital compactors provide a
fully automatic uniform compaction assu-
ring repeatable test results and eliminating
any operator fatigue. The unique original
lifting mechanism of the rammer features a
constant and precise fall height much more
reliable than models using the technique of
the two rotating lifting discs causing fre-
quent sliding effect. The high quality of
materials particularly for those parts
subjected to wear and the latest micropro-
cessor technology adopted assures long life
of the Compacto digital compactors.

General description
This research model is substantially similar
to the standard model except for the more
sophisticated compaction technique, which
features all methods of the standard
models plus the performance of the central
blow prescribed by the French NF and
Dutch RAV standards. Furthermore the
hand held control panel features a large
digital display of 240x128 pixel. The user
friendly software is set out to follow logical
sequences to lead the operator through
each stage of the compaction. At the start
of the test cycle the operator selects the
Standard (ASTM, NF, etc.) and the mould
size and the test automatically proceeds.
The display shows the current state of the
test in real time. The end of each layer
compaction is indicated by a visual and
acoustic signal.

samples. This new line of compactors assu-
res strict conformity to standards both in
terms of compaction distribution and ham-
mer 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 automati-
cally for operator safety.
The operator can easily select, by the con-
trol panel, the number of drops in confor-
mity with the reference standard, or user
defined. The compactor is provided with a
2495/4535 g hammer with double inter-
changeable 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

Introduction
The CBR penetration test
can be performed with different
testing machines:
- Specific model 34-T0106 Series,
single speed
- Multispeed testing machine also
used to perform other tests (e.g.
Marshall test), 34-T0107 Series
(see page 120)
- Universal Uniframe tester
working either in speed or load
control 70-T0108/E Series (see
page 317)
- Universal high capacity
Multiensayo tester 70-S16 and
70-S17 Series (see page 300)
All the above have to be
completed by the suitable accesso-
ries, 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 accesso-
ries in the analogic version (see 34-
T0106/A and 34-T0106/B models).
Hand operated models for field use
are also available (see page124).

In the digital version, the load and displa-
cement 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 arrange-
ments 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 suf-
fix /Z to the code (e.g. 34-T0107/Z).

The remote load control and gauge are
mounted on the pump and it is not neces-

Light drop-weight tester
Introduction
The dynamic plate load test employing the
Light drop-weight tester is used in
earthwork and road construction to deter-
mine 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 defor-
mation of soil in the range Evd = 15 80
MN/m
2
.
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 monito-
ring intra-company operations.
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:

Function
Place the load plate on the prepared surfa-
ce to be tested and position the loading
unit on the load plate. Connect the settle-
ment 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 set-
tlement) 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 prin-
ter connected to a PC as necessary.

Introduction
The soil permeability is a
very important factor to study the
behaviour of soil in its natural condi-
tions with respect to water flow.
Two different methods of
testing are proposed: constant head
and falling head. The first one is par-
ticularly suitable for relatively coarse-
grained soil such as sands and gravel
and the second is more appropriate
for fine-grained soils such as clay-
like or silty soils.

fields of the construction industry to produce bitu-
minous 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 grou-
ped 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 aggregates-
Tests for thermal and weathering properties of
aggregates - Tests for chemical properties of aggre-
gate.
In the majority of cases the new EN Standards cor-
respond to some existing National Standards and,
apart from a few exceptions there is almost no dif-
ference in the specifications of test apparatus.
Rock According to the Committee on Rock
Mechanics, National Academy of Sciences rock
mechanics is a theoretical and applied science concer-
ning 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 dia-
gram can show behaviours of non linearity also for
very small strains, hysteresis, anisotropy, fluage con-
ditions, etc. All these phenomena can be mathema-
tically described.

Strength and deformability tests
Strength and deformability tests
Most of the information obtained
from laboratory tests are substan-
tially related to the stress and strain
characteristics of the tested mate-
rials.
The tests generally performed on
cylindrical rock samples are the fol-
lowing:
- Evaluation of the compressive
strength and strain in uniaxial
conditions
- Evaluation of the compressive
strength and strain in triaxial
conditions.
UNIAXIAL TEST
qSTANDARD
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 cor-
rect evaluation of the compressibility pro-
perties.
TRIAXIAL TEST
qSTANDARD
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 cham-
ber 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 measure-
ments are carried on in the same way as for
uniaxial tests.

Typical Peak Strength Envelope (diagram

)
Triaxial test on rock materials with measurement of axial strains
Typical Failure Envelope (diagram s. )
From the measurements recorded
during the test the following informa-
tion 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 permeabi-
lity characteristics of rocks and rock beha-
viour when subjected to high water pressu-
re, especially for the study of dam founda-
tions, and generally for underground tun-
nels and cavities.

Introduction
Controls rock mechanics automatic test
systems are designed to test various mate-
rials 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 desi-
gned for rock testing (Uniaxial tests only)
- Hoek triaxial cell to be selected confor-
ming 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 conti-
nuously without shock, in such a manner
to produce a strain rate as constant as pos-
sible, so that failure will occur within 5-10
min of loading or alternatively at a con-
stant rate of stress, within the limits of 0.5-
1.0 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 proce-
dures. 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 pro-
vides 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 moni-
tored by means of load cells and/or pressu-
re 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 custo-
mised 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.

UNIAXIAL TEST
Uniaxial test: the test is performed on a cylindrical rock core with strain sensors
measuring the vertical and diametral strain
- Load and displacement
- Cell pressure (triaxial test only)
- Axial or radial strain (single strain
gauge or average).
- Easy calibration procedure and control
- Store of recorded data in ASCII file
- Direct access during the test to the list of
the data recorded from the beginning
- Possibility to pause the test, change set-
up and continue with the new parame-
ters.
Processing and printout
We propose two MS EXCEL data sheets
that, by the readings of the ADVANTEST 9,
perform:
- Uniaxial tests
- Stress-strain analysis
- Poisson ratio vs. strain plot
- Secant and tangent modulus calculation
- Triaxial tests
- Stress-strain analysis
- Poisson ratio vs. strain plot
- Failure envelope analysis.

Rock mechanics
TRIAXIAL TEST
The lateral pressure is increased by pro-
gramming steps and the corresponding
axial load is determined. Substantially the
failure point is continuously varied by
changing the lateral pressure.
HOEK CELLS FOR TRIAXIAL TESTS
Hoek triaxial cells are offered in four
models of different size; each one consists
of the following:
- A cell body , complete with two quick
release self sealing couplings, for the
introduction of the hydraulic oil and cell
pressure, and for air outlet and satura-
tion of the chamber respectively.
- Two end caps , screwed into the cylin-
drical cell body.
- Upper and lower loading caps with
spherical coupling
- Two female spherical seatings connec-
ted to the loading caps and for the
correct transmission of the axial load
from the loading frame of the compres-
sion machine to the specimen.
- A rubber sealing sleeve to separate the
specimen from the cell fluid.
Although each sleeve can be used for seve-
ral 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 sur-
face of the specimen. The wiring connec-
tions 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 per-
meability tests are carried out by the use of
appropriate equipment (see page 156).

SPLITTING TENSILE TEST
OF INTACT CORE SPECIMENS
qSTANDARD
ASTM D3967
Introduction
This test method has been developed to
measure the uniaxial tensile strength of
rock specimens by the diametral compres-
sion of a disk. The splitting tensile strength
is calculated as follows:
2 P
t
=
___

_________
L D
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 ope-
rate either with load or displacement con-
trol.
Our Sales Dept. is at your complete dispo-
sal for any assistance you may need.

Rock mechanics
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 particu-
larly investigated: they are origina-
ted from geological failures,
breaking off the rock mass conti-
nuity, along which no sliding
mechanism is shown.
From the rock mechanics point of
view the discontinuities are charac-
terised by mechanical strength lower
than the original rock matrix and
require detailed test investigations.
STRENGTH OF THE JOINT WALLS
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), expres-
sed in MPa.
SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF THE JOINT
This parameter is defined on the joint sur-
face with the Barton comb (Profilometer
45-D0556) used to reproduce the rough-
ness 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 gradual-
ly 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/)
SHEAR STRENGTH OF THE JOINT
It is obtained from the direct shear test.
The peak resistance of a rough joint is cal-
culated from the following relationship
(Barton, 1973):
= tg ( + i
eff
)
with
JCS
i
eff
= JRC log
______
R
angle of residual shear friction (obtai-
ned 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), i
eff
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 rough-
ness 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:

Rock shear box apparatus.
Hand operated
This apparatus was originally developed at
Imperial College, London, by Professor E. Hoek.
It is a simple and practical method of determi-
ning 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 rever-
sible 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 cementa-
tion.
Gauge range: 50 kN x 1 kN

TILT TEST
45-B0096
Apparatus for measurement of the
joint roughness coefficient (Tilt Test)
It is used to calculate the JRC of a rock or
of a joint. The equipment consists of an
adjustable inclined plane, on which the
rock sample (100 mm dia. max.) is placed,
separated along the surface where the rou-
ghness is to be measured. Then the plane is
slowly tilted until sliding of the upper part
of the sample on the lower one occurs.
From the measured inclination angle it is
possible to evaluate the roughness index.

Digital rock strength
index apparatus
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 pla-
tens. The index of rock strength is calcula-
ted from the following:
P
IS =
__
D
2
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 actua-
ted 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 accu-
racy and resistance to the failure shocks. The
machine, fitted with the accessory 45-
D0550/D5, can also be used for compression
tests on small cores or cylindrical specimens.
The apparatus is contained in an easyly tran-
sportable plastic case.

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 cor-
responding National Standard.
Considering that in many countries outside Europe the National Standards such as BS and NF will still be adopted, we continue to sup-
ply the relative apparatus.

Memorandum
Concrete structures are a great deal more
than sand, gravel, cement and water stirred up and
left to harden into usefully shaped lumps.
Considerable care and knowledge are required to
produce quality concrete. We propose a complete
range of testing equipment to satisfy practically all
the EN and other National Standards.

EN = European Standard (Mandatory)
BS = British Standard
ASTM = USA Standard
NF = French Standard
DIN = German Standard
UNE = Spanish Standard
NLT = Spanish Norma de Laboratorio Transporte
UNI = Italian Standard
CNR = Italian Road Standard
ISO = International Organization for Standardization
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 superse-
ded.
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 infor-

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 deci-
ding which machine is most suitable
to your specific requirement, and
essentially includes:
Semi-automatic machines
where the test execution requires a few
manual intervention by the operator.
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 con-
soles featuring programmable test cycles
including the determination of the Elastic
Modulus, etc. For connection to up to four dif-
ferent frames: e.g. compression on concrete,
flexure on concrete beams, compression on
cement. Particularly suitable for research pur-
poses.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SPECIFICATIONS
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 stan-
dards. They can also be used for testing 2
(50 mm) mortar cubes using the appropria-
te 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. When using these accesso-
ries we suggest the digital models for a
better resolution.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SPECIFICATIONS
These machines represent the advanced evo-
lution of the standard motor operated com-
pression testers, where the three main parts
of the machines: frame, power unit and
measuring system, have been totally redesi-
gned and integrated for this particular func-
tion obtaining performances very close to
that one of the automatic and most sophi-
sticated testing systems.
These machines are ideal for control and
commercial laboratories to test cubes, cylin-
ders or blocks to the new EN Standards.
They are proposed with two different
strength measurement systems:
- WIZARD single channel basic digital rea-
dout unit (machine codes 50-C36B2,
50-C46B2, 50-C56B2) and the more
sophisticated and higher performing
- DIGIMAX Plus, double channel digital
and graphic display data acquisition and
processing system (machine codes 50-
C36G2, 50-C46G2, 50-C56G2, 50-C66G2).

Test sequence
Switching on the display the sequence is the
following:
1 From Main Menu select TEST RUN.
2 Select test type (e.g. Compression).
3 Introduce specimen description.
3.1 Select specimen shape.
3.2 Introduce the specimen data.
To perform another test on the same specimen size it is sufficient, when in position 4.2 or 5.1, to press button F3.
4 4.1 4.2 Numerical and graphic display. 5 5.1 Numerical display only.
All the above sequences can be avoided by default for repetitive tests on the
same specimens except for the specimen weight, age and precise
dimensions which, if required, should be introduced time by time.
This possibility applies also starting with the apparatus switched off as the
memory of the last test is available.

The following compression testing frames
are proposed for connection to control
consoles to form an Automatic testing
system.
They are supplied complete with basement,
pressure transducer and connecting hose.
Models 50-C6600/* and 50-C7600/* can
also test 250x500 mm cylinders and 300
mm cubes. All the other models can be
upgraded for block testing. See page 198.
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 require-
ments 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) con-
nected to a suitable data acquisition and
processing system (e.g. our model 82-
P0804/E).
Unsatisfactory premature sample failure is
caused by an incorrect load application. The
resultant compression resistance can be
significantly lower than the true resistance.

CONCRETE TESTING
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 cur-
rently available.
The constant innovation and modern desi-
gn applied to our testing systems, in coo-
peration with State Universities, has resul-
ted in the development of the ADVANTEST
9 Servohydraulic testing unit.
50-C9842
ADVANTEST 9. Servohydraulic
testing unit for compression,
flexure, splitting tests.
230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph.
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 dimen-
sions 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 tran-
sducer. The displacement transducer is pla-
ced 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.
SERVOHYDRAULIC TESTING UNIT FOR RESEARCH AND
ADVANCED APPLICATIONS
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 com-
plex and sophisticated tests often related
to the Deformability and Ductility beha-
viour.
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.
An advanced flexible testing
system ideal for standard
and advanced automatic tests
on construction materials
- P.I.D. Closed loop control
- Control up to 4 different hydraulic
frames
- Perform tests under control of:
- Load/Stress
- Displacement
- Strain
- For connection of pressure transdu-
cer, load cells, displacement and
strain transducers
- Particularly suitable to test
Deformability and Ductility of
- Fiber reinforced concrete
- ShotCrete

VEB TEST
qSTANDARD
EN 12350-3
54-C0195
Veb consistometer.
230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.
This test method is a variation of the sim-
ple 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 ope-
rates at a fixed amplitude and frequency,
and in the test a plastic disc is placed into
contact with the upper surface of the con-
crete. The test is completed when the lower
surface of the disc has been completely
coated with cement grout.
This test
method is
used to
determine the
penetration
of a hemi-
spherical
metal weight
into freshly
mixed concrete, which is related to the
workability of the concrete. The apparatus
consists of a cylinder with one end having
a hemispherical shape and the other end
fitted with a graduated handle. The weight
assembly is lowered through a frame into
the concrete and the penetration measu-
red.
This device is
used to deter-
mine the
workability and
degree of com-
paction of fresh
concrete after
being placed in
the forms. It
can be used for in-situ measurements or insi-
de test moulds and forms. Results can be cor-
related 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 K-
slump is read directly on a scale. The calibra-
ted hollow tube has a diameter of 20 mm.

THE WORKABILITY
OF NO-SLUMP CONCRETE
qSTANDARD
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 worka-
ble 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 produc-
tion 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.

be left in the mould for the first 16
hours up to a maximum of three
days, protected against shock,
vibration and dehydration at a
temperature from 20 5C or 25
5C in hot climates (EN method)
and 16 to 27C (ASTM method).
After the removal from the moulds
the specimens have to be stored in
a moist condition at 20 2C (EN)
or 23 1.7C (ASTM) with a rela-
tive humidity 95%. Alternatively
they can be cured in water at the
same temperature.

DETERMINATION OF THE DEPTH
OF PENETRATION OF WATER
UNDER PRESSURE
qSTANDARD
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 control-
led 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 sui-
table air compressor, maximum working
pressure 10 bar. (See accessories).

CONCRETE TESTING
Introduction
The development and improvement
of in-situ test techniques better
known as non-destructive test
methods (NDT) are the result of the
need to investigate:
- The progressive ageing of con-
crete structures
- The effect of chemical attacks on
concrete often due to air pollu-
tion or to the use of chlorides in
winter to prevent icing
- The quality and integrity of new
structures
- The problems associated with
historical buildings.
This catalogue includes a vast selec-
tion of NDT instruments and appa-
ratus with precise indications con-
cerning the product use and the
relative applications.
Controls is also prepared to supply
pre-sales advice in order to identify
the appropriate apparatus and all
suggestions concerning their correct
use.

CONCRETE TESTING
Concrete durability evaluation
The various problems that
relate to the durability of concrete
are assuming ever increasing impor-
tance due to their close relationship
to the quality of the structure as a
whole.
The main problems associated with
the durability of concrete are nor-
mally caused by the poor quality of
the concrete itself. Knowledge of
the degrading processes and the
availability of materials and
methods to overcome these proces-
ses 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 considera-
tion 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.

Half-cell digital corrosion meter
Corrosion of steel is an electrochemical
process involving anodic (corroding) and
cathodic (passive) areas of the metal. By
measuring concrete - surface electrical
potentials relative to a standard reference
electrode on a predetermined grid, the pre-
sence and location of corrosion and its pro-
bable future performance may be assessed.
It is possible, by regular measurements, to
monitor the behaviour of new and relati-
vely new structures and thus minimise
maintenance costs.

Chloride penetration meter.
110-230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph.
This test method allows evaluation of chlo-
ride permeability characteristics of concre-
te. The test is performed to monitor the
amount of electrical current passing throu-
gh concrete cores or cylinders. A potential
difference is maintained across the ends of
the specimen, one of which is the negative
end and is immersed in a sodium chloride
solution, the other (positive end) in a
sodium hydroxide solution. The total char-
ge passed, in Coulombs, that is related to
the resistance of the specimen to chloride
ion penetration is measured.

For assessing the possible rate of corrosion
in reinforcing bars. The time at which cor-
rosion 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 solu-
tion of the cement matrix, it follows that a
highly permeable concrete will have a high
conductivity and low electrical resistance.

plug through which a hypodermic needle is
passed into the void. In the water test,
water is forced through the needle into the
void. The time for absorption of 0.01 ml of
water is measured. In the air pressure test a
vacuum of 55 kPa below atmospheric pres-
sure is created in the void and the time for
a 5 kPa rise to occur is measured.

calcium carbide method. A sample of the
surface to be examined is drilled or scraped
from the wall and introduced in the bottle
with the reagent. The water reacts with
calcium carbide and develops a gas pressu-
re which is indicated on the manometer
and easily converted in percentage of moi-
sture. Two models are available: standard
with manometer and digital.

Used as a means of monitoring changes
taking place in the concrete and other
materials, due to age, weathering, tempe-

the values of modulus of elasticity and
modulus of rigidity are easily derived from
the resonant frequency, and are closely
related to the quality of the materials, to
the treatments or additives, and to the
environmental changes. In particular the
determination of flexural resonance is very
important when studying the degradation
of concrete under accelerated freezing and
thawing cycles and aggressive environ-
ments on concrete specimens as well as
thermal cycling of refractory materials.

Microcore method
MICROCORE METHOD
A proven technique for the non-destructi-

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 con-
crete 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 permit-
ting 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 physi-
cal condition or to evaluate the compressi-
ve strength related to the direction of sam-
pling.

Core preparation and compression
The flatness of core ends is essential to
obtain reliable compression results so it is
very important to make sure that the tole-
rance is within 0.01 mm.
Furthermore the compression test should
be performed with a suitable compression
machine considering that the max. requi-
red load should be lower than 50 kN.
Cement compression testers or small uni-
versal testers may be conveniently used.

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 con-
crete.
The pulse velocity is dependant
upon the density and the elasticity
properties of the material. By com-
paring pulse velocities it is possible
to evaluate homogeneity and iden-
tify the presence of cracks, voids,
honeycombing, anomalies and non-
homogeneity of elastic properties.
To gather more information concer-
ning the material under study, diffe-
rent test methods can be combined,
particularly ultrasonic readings with
rebound hammer readings so as to
obtain additional information con-
cerning concrete strength

CONCRETE TESTING
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 foun-
dations, 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 measure-
ment 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.

The in-situ stress-deformability and resi-
stance features, can be measured by using
the standard mechanical strain gauges (see
our model 58-C0230), and a pressure
gauge or, in alternative, by a more sophisti-
cated data acquisition system consisting of
electronic extensometers (e.g. model
58-D0585), pressure transducers to be con-
nected to the hand pump and a data log-
ger (e.g. our Datalog 82-P0908/A).

Schematic view of the deflection test set up
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 gover-
ned 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.
Inorganic binders have had a role in the con-
struction industry since pre-classical times and, after
successive transformations, are today briefly classi-
fied 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 techni-
cal 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
18
th
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.

Introduction
The setting time determination of cement
and mortars is one of the most important
parameters for the quality inspection and
verification.
Furthermore the production and use of
new mortars, admixtures and similar mate-
rials with the research activity has highli-
ghted the need of sophisticated test appa-
ratus capable of performing a variety of
independent test cycles and procedures on
numerous specimens.
Our new VICAMATIC apparatus fully sati-
sfies these requirements and is capable of
performing tests with start delay, adjusta-
ble dropping rate auto-mode and free or
driven drop. The VICAMATIC can also be
equipped by the needle cleaning device
with water container for testing in water as
prescribed by EN.
The installed firmware allows the PC con-
nection via the RS 232 port and the expan-
sion to a Multiple Testing System with up
to 16 apparatus via the RS 485 port.
The high versatility and flexibility of the
VICAMATIC is summarised below.
Use of a single apparatus
Main advantages:
Production of a test graph report on paper
Display of test data in real time. See
description of this unique feature in the
firmware paragraph
Possibility of connection to a simple
serial printer (See accessories)
Possibility of connection to PC via RS 232 port
All the above features represent the most
advanced economical solution for general
laboratory use.
Use of a multiple system
Main advantages (in addition to the
above):
Test system expandable any time to up to
16 units for PC connection
The single units to be connected to the
PC network can be located in different
places and not necessarily all together
(See the Software paragraph)
Powering down one unit does not prevent
the use of all other units in the network
The units can be independently
programmed
- Automatic test cycle
- Double recording: analogic on paper
and digital by electronic sensor
- Storing of test results, settings and data
- Large graphic display to follow the
test in real time
- RS 232 output for connection to PC
and printer
- High flexibility in programming the
test cycles as test start delay, dropping
rate auto-mode, free or driven drop
- RS 485 network facility for connec-
tion to PC of up to 16 independent
VICAMATIC for data acquisition and
processing
- Fully conforming to EN, ASTM,
AASHTO, BS and similar
- High versatility and vast applications:
from the standard use in local labo-
ratories to the multiple use in
research and central laboratories
- Also suitable for tests on Gypsum
conforming to EN 13279-2

VICAMATIC: Automatic recording Vicat apparatus (continued)
CEMENT
General description
The apparatus consists essentially of a mecha-
nism of four different stepper motors, which
control the sliding weight with needle, the
rotation and displacement of the table and
the chart drum. The displacement of the sli-
ding weight with needle is recorded by a pen
in the chart drum and also read by an encoder
for the data acquisition.
The automation of the system is obtained by
an electronic control chard with microproces-
sor. The front control panel includes the mem-
brane keyboard with large graphic display.
Firmware specifications
The test parameters to be set are the following:
- Reference standards: EN, ASTM, General
purpose, single drop
- Frequency of penetrations (to be selected
between frequency input by user or cal-
culated semiautomatically)
- Free fall mode or driven fall mode
- Adjustable test start delay
- Penetration measurement by encoder
- Test data: test number, operator, client,
date, hour, cement type, water percenta-
ge, humidity, delay, mode (automatic or
manual)
- Permanent memory for data storage
- Clock calendar
- 5 languages: English, Spanish, French,
German, Italian

This new version of jolting apparatus has
been developed to fulfil precisely the EN
196-1 and ISO 679. Each single require-
ment 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 dimen-
sions, 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 decrea-
se with use, the hammer has an adjusta-
ble height, making it possible to restore
the initial drop height even after prolon-
ged 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 membra-
ne 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).
Main features
- Easy verification of compliance with
Standards: weight distribution,
dimensions etc.

Cement compression and flexural testers
SEMIAUTOMATIC
AND AUTOMATIC MODELS
General description
These machines, featuring a very rigid two
column frame, have been designed for the
testing of the cement prism either in compres-
sion or in flexure. The frames of the series 65-
L10XX and 65-L11XX are already fitted respec-
tively with EN compression bearing plates and
EN compression bearing plates plus flexural jig.
The frames of the series 65-L12XX and 65-
L13XX are fitted with round compression pla-
tens and have to be completed, if needed, with
the suitable compression and/or flexural devi-
ces. See accessories page 292.
Safety features
All models are fitted with ram travel limit swit-
ch and transparent fragment guards.
Machine accuracy
The EN 196-1 prescribe the 1% starting from
1/5 of the full range. All our models assure this
requirement starting from 1/10 of the 250 kN
scale and approx. 1/8 of the 15 kN scale.
Introduction
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 difference between the two
Standards are basically the size of
specimens and the specifications for
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 speci-
mens such as bricks, resins, soil
cement mixtures, gypsum, rocks,
microcores , etc. using the appro-
priate accessory.
We propose three different group of
testers:
- 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 proces-
sing 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
Test laboratories that exa-
mine 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, automa-
tion, 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/electro-
nic apparatus and strength measure-
ment 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 con-
soles which can be connected to up
four different compression and
flexural frames for cement and con-
crete 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.

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

Universal computerised electromechanical Testers 200 and 300 kN capacity (continued)
General description
The machines consist essentially of a robu-
st two column frame with an upper cros-
shead 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 con-
stant speed.
The stress is measured by a load cell incor-
porated 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.

Introduction
This machine has been desi-
gned for use both in the field and
laboratory where it is necessary to
perform tension tests on steel rebars
up to 22 mm dia., compression tests
on concrete cubes up to 150 mm
and cylinders up to 160x320 mm.
Its comparatively lightweight, high
degree of accuracy and low cost
make this machine ideal for site
testing and educational purposes.
The 70-C0019 series testers are pro-
posed in two different versions:
model 70-C0019 with precision dial
gauge with double scale and model
70-C0019/B with Digimax Plus
microprocessor digital system with
large graphic display 240x128 pixel
which can be connected to the elec-
tronic extensometer (e.g. 70-C0961
series and 70-C0954/C) for elonga-
tion measurements. It is also possi-
ble the connection to PC using our
software 70-S0010 obtaining the
complete stress strain graph confor-
ming to EN 10002. The Digimax
Plus can be connected to 24-column
serial printer by the RS 232 serial
port. Our model 82-P0172 can be
conveniently used for these purpo-
ses; furthermore it can be easily fit-
ted on top of the Digimax Plus by
the support 82-P0172/5.

General description
The machine consists of a very rigid frame
with double-acting cylinder assembly, and
hydraulic power pump. A special flow con-
trol valve allows the rate of loading to be
preset in accordance to the relevant speci-
fications. Supplied complete with test
selector valve for selecting tension or com-
pression mode. Model 70-C0019 is supplied
complete with precision test gauge 300

digital display and processing system.
We suggest this more advanced model
when monitoring the stress/strain with
data processing using electronic extenso-
meter 70-C0961 series or 70-C0954/C, and
the other model for field use complete with
a mechanical extensometer such as our

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 tech-
nology 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 extre-
mely simple operation. The sophistica-
ted software consists of a very com-
plete 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 accesso-
ries are available to test steel strands
and electrowelded steel screen.

ELECTRONIC COAXIAL EXTENSOMETERS

COAXIAL EXTENSOMETER FOR TENSILE
STRENGTH TESTING. (PATENT PENDING)
Introduction
Extensometers used for measuring the
extension of specimens in traction, particu-
larly 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 failu-
re. 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 preci-
sion of both the elastic and plastic stage
and with the appropriate simple adjust-
ments, it is connectable to almost all
testing machines
- it avoids markings on the test pieces.
The extensometer is basically made from
three separate tubular sections, joined tele-
scopically to one another. The middle sec-
tion, delimited by the larger diameter,
determines the measuring base, which, as
is well known, must be 5 times the diame-
ter 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 exten-
someter, the other an anvil.

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 stres-
ses 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 compac-
tion and investigate parameters such as the stiffness modu-
lus 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 cata-
logue 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.
Pavement surface characteristics.
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 dif-
ference in the specification of test apparatus. We will
continue to propose, however, the test apparatus confor-
ming to the National Standards.

Part 1 Soluble binder content - Test procedures with related specific test apparatus
ASPHALT
The new EN 12697-1 standard
Test methods: Soluble binder content
TEST METHODS:
SOLUBLE BINDER CONTENT
Introduction
This European standard describes a unified
approach to the examination of bitumi-
nous 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 determi-
ning 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 per-
missible provided that it has been demon-
strated that they provide the same results
within the limits of the precision given in
the Standard.

Recovery of binder
portion,
mass calculation
(by general
laboratory apparatus)
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 dif-
ference or binder recovery and calcula-
tion of soluble binder content.
The sequence of operations and choice of
test procedures to be followed are illustra-
ted 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 equip-
ment 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.

Used for the quantitative determination of
bitumen in hot-mixed paving mixtures and
pavement samples. The bitumen content is
calculated by difference from the weight of
extracted aggregates.
The filler, or ash, passing through the 74
m basket has then to be separated from
the bitumen/solvent solution using the
appropriate centrifuge extractor - e.g. 75-

The centrifuges are used for the determina-
tion of bitumen percentage in bituminous
mixtures. All models comprise a removable
precision-machined rotor bowl housed in a
cylindrical aluminium box. They are driven
by an electric motor fitted with AC drive
(inverter) with the double function of
speed control up to 3600 r.p.m. regardless
of the frequency (50 or 60 Hz) and electri-
cal braking. The centrifuge can be set for
the automatic speed ramp up to 3600
r.p.m. or to any intermediate speed by the
front knob. A digital display monitors the
frequency, which is proportional to the
speed.
The rotating unit is suspended on the base
by four calibrated springs, which assure a
perfect stability all over the test. The cover
is precisely machined and fitted with sol-
vent resistant gasket to avoid leakages.
All models are fitted, for emergency use, by
a hand brake system. The control panel
includes: Start/Stop button, speed control
knob, and digital display.
Two versions available: standard and explo-
sion proof. The standard model can be
upgraded with the electromagnetic system
to prevent the opening of the cover during
rotation. See code 75-B2210/UP1. These
upgrading option arrangements have to be
factory installed and specified at time of

B.2.1 and CNR No. 38, DIN 1996, ASTM
D1856
Used for rapid filterless separation of filler
(ash) from binder solution. The test is carried
out by pouring the solvent from the top fun-
nel into the rotating aluminium cup. Due to
the centrifugal effect, the liquid spreads on
the wall and moves upwards, leaving mineral
particles in the cup whilst the liquid is
discharged outside through the outlet tubing.
A special electronic circuit provides for a pre-
set controlled ramp, which gradually increa-
ses the speed to the maximum.The models
available are 75-B0024/A for filler extraction
up to 100 g per test, and 75-B0024/B for fil-

75-B0009/Z
The 75-B0009 Asphalt Binder Analyser
combines a sophisticated furnace and wei-
ghing 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 possi-
bility 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

Introduction
This European Standard
describes three test methods for
characterising the compactability of
a bituminous mix, by the relation
between its density or voids content
and the compaction energy applied
to it, using an impact (Marshall)
compactor, gyratory compactor, or
a vibratory compactor.
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 com-
pactor.

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 fol-
lowing 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

Introduction
These Standards specify the method for
compaction of cylindrical specimens of
bituminous mixtures using a gyratory com-
pactor. Such compaction is achieved by
combining a rotary shearing action and a
vertical resultant force applied by a mecha-
nical 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 mixtu-
res (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 limi-
ted by inserts and kept at a constant tem-
perature within specified tolerances throu-
ghout the whole duration of the test.
Compaction is achieved by the simulta-
neous 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 revo-
lution, 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 - SuperPave
TM
System and approved
by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) is used to produce asphalt speci-
mens that best predict long term pavement
performance. The procedure has been esta-
blished by the American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO).

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 cali-
bration of gyratory compactors has been
considered a difficult task leading to wide
variations in results even between machi-
nes 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.

ILS Internal Angle
Measurement apparatus
General description
and operating principle
The ILS measuring tool is an electromecha-
nical 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 deter-
mined by these two angle values.
During the measurements the ILS is gene-
rating an accurate mechanical load simula-
ting 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 com-
paction machine can also be measured.
The ILS is supplied complete with Excel
macro for data capture and result calcula-
tions.
With the ILS one gyratory machine can be
checked in 30 minutes, with highest accu-
racy and without need for hot mix.

Introduction and operating principle
This test method is used for the preparation
of bituminous test specimens using a
vibratory compaction technique. It is appli-
cable 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, prepa-
ration and conditioning of a bituminous
specimen in the laboratory, the heating of
a core extracted from the road surface to
compaction temperature, or the conditio-
ning of plant-mixed material, the material
or core is placed in a standard mould with
attached baseplate and collar and compac-
ted by a vibratory hammer.
If required, the specimen is compacted to
refusal and the refusal density is determi-
ned 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 plant-
mixed material compacted in the labora-
tory, the refusal density is an indication of
the potential maximum density, which may
be achieved under field conditions.

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

Wheel tracking apparatus.
230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.
Wheel tracking is used to assess the resi-
stance to rutting of asphaltic materials
under conditions, which simulate the effect
of traffic. The wheel tracking apparatus
consists of a loaded wheel, which bears on
a sample held on a moving table. The table
reciprocates with simple harmonic motion
through a distance of 230 5 mm with a
frequency of 42 passes ( 1%) per minute.
The wheel is fitted with a solid rubber tyre
of outside diameter 200 mm.
The wheel load under standard conditions is
700 10 N. The wheel tracker is fitted with
a temperature controlled cabinet with a
temperature range of 30C to 65C 1.0C.
The sample may be either a 200 mm diame-
ter core or a 305 mm
2
slab of asphaltic mix-
ture from 40 mm to 100 mm thick.
A 25 mm stroke LVDT transducer is included
for monitoring rut depth in the centre of a
sample during a test to better than 0.1 mm.
The deformation and sample temperature is
recorded by a PC fitted with a data acquisi-
tion and control (DAC) board. The operation
software runs under Windows or NT.

SLABS LABORATORY COMPACTION
qSTANDARD
pr EN 12697-33
Introduction
The ROLLERCOMP has been designed to
over-come the problem of making repre-
sentative specimens of the material laid
and compacted in the highway.
This apparatus, in fact, can compact
asphalt slabs to a target density using loads
per unit roll width, which are consistent to
those of pavements rollers used in the
highway construction.
The ROLLERCOMP slabs can be:
- Used as wheel tracking specimens. See
our 77-B0350 wheel tracking apparatus
- Cored to provide specimens for
indirect tensile, static and dynamic
creep tests. See our 77-B0300 and
77-B0310/A apparatus
- Cut into beams for bending fatigue
tests. See our 77-B0310/A with
77-B0312 apparatus.
77-B0360
Roller compactor "ROLLERCOMP".
230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.
The ROLLERCOMP provides a pneumatical-
ly powered means of compacting slabs of
asphaltic material in the laboratory under
conditions, which simulate in-situ compac-
tion.
Different levels of vertical force can be
selected up to approximately 30 kN. As the
width of the roller is 300 mm, the compac-
tive 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.
The ROLLERCOMP requires a supply of
clean and dry air at 7 bar and 150 l/min
and a 230 V AC supply.
The apparatus comprises:
- Steel framed roller compactor with roller
segment, reciprocating mould support
table, pneumatic actuators for reciproca-
ting table and applying compaction force
- 4 pressure regulators for setting levels of
compaction force
- PLC controller for compaction start,
emergency stop, automatic selection of 4
compaction forces and number of roller
passes.

particle loss (abrasion) of porous asphalt
mixtures and the pr EN 12697-43 concerns
the determination of the resistance of a

tion fuel. Both procedures involve, within
other standard laboratory tests, the abra-
sion in a Los Angeles tester conforming to
EN 1097-2 without steel balls. Furthermore
the pr EN 12697-17 prescribes a chamber
or enclosure for the Los Angeles machine
as the temperature shall remain constant
with an uncertainty of 2C. This condition
can be easily obtained by the soundproof

(also conforming to EN 1097-8, ASTM E103)
Introduction
This method provides a measure of the skid
resistance properties of a surface either in
the field or in the laboratory. This method
measures the skid resistance of a small area
of a surface (approximately 0.01 m
2
) and
this should be considered when deciding its
applicability to a pavement surface which
may have variable surface characteristics,
e.g. block paving.

Introduction
This advanced microprocessor controlled
automatic tester is used to determine the
softening point of bitumen using, as heating
fluid, water or glycerol. The softening point
is taken by two light barriers suitably posi-
tioned and the temperature measured by a
PT100 sensor placed in a middle position.
During operation a magnetic stirrer with
adjustable speed assures temperature
uniformity in the vessel.
The temperature gradient is strictly main-
tained throughout the test by the electro-
nic system conforming to the standards.
The apparatus comprises the following
parts:
- Heater and magnetic stirrer with speed
control
- Temperature probe
- Glass beaker, ring and ball support,
test rings and ball support
- Application and centering device
of steel balls
- Light barrier system
- Microprocessor system and large graphic
display with membrane keyboard
- RS 232 C port for PC or printer.
Safety features
The hot plate is automatically cut off at
the end of the test cycle. The apparatus is
however fitted with an emergency stop
button. The test is automatically interrup-
ted in case of probe failure or not correctly
positioned. The hot plate is not damaged or
affected by possible water or glycerol
leakages or by the beaker failure.

RFT method. Test description
An amount of 100 g of bituminous binder
is introduced into the 1000 ml rotating
flask of the rotary evaporator. At the test
temperature of 165C a flow of air at
ambient temperature is introduced into the
rotating flask containing the sample. The
air flow hardens the sample and the harde-
75-B0165
ning effect is evaluated by measuring
penetration, softening point and dynamic
viscosity on the treated bituminous binder
sample.
General description
The rotary evaporator is equipped with a
distillation flask, a variable speed motor
capable of rotating the distillation flask at
a rate adjustable from 20 to 270 r.p.m.,
condenser, solvent recovery flask, and hea-
ted oil bath. The angle of the distillation
flask from the horizontal to the bath is set
at approximately 15. Supplied complete
with 1000 ml distillation flask.

Introduction
This method is used for determining the
ductility of bituminous materials by measu-
ring 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 machi-
ne, which can be fitted with a liquid refrige-
rator-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 mea-
sure the tensile force exerted on the speci-
mens and determining the conventional
energy of bitumen binders from traction
characteristics.
This upgraded option (see code 81-
B0140/UP1) includes three load cells, digi-
tal display unit and Macro-Excel program
for data acquisition and processing for
connection to PC.

PRESSURE AGEING VESSEL (PAV)
Introduction
Aging is today one of the fundamental
parameters for the evaluation of the
performance qualities during field service.
The SHRP program gives great importance
to ageing to evaluate the performance
grade of bituminous binders.
The Pressure Aging Vessel has been develo-
ped to simulate in-service ageing of
asphalt binder after 5 to 10 years. The bin-
der is exposed to high pressure and tempe-
rature for 20 hours to simulate the effects
of long term oxidative ageing.

Testing equipment for the construction
Industry includes a large number of item that cannot
be located in a specific application field such as con-
crete, cement, asphalt etc. but are for general use or
for more than one application.
Furthermore, the ISO 9000 standards concer-
ning 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.

VERIFICATION OF FORCE TRANSFER
qSTANDARD
EN 12390-4
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 stan-
dard, 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.
platen using a special strain gauged
column (e.g. our model 82-E0105/1)
connected to a suitable data acquisi-
tion 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 strin-
gent specifications.
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
Unsatisfactory failure
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 30-
35%) 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 certifi-
cate for the force measurement
instrument mounted on the machine
does not guarantee the accuracy of
the strength result. Usually a non-
uniform 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

GENERAL
LOAD MEASURING RINGS
Used for load measurement and for cali-
bration of testing machines. Made from
special alloy steel. All standard models are
supplied complete with dial gauge 5x0.001
mm and the electronic models (suffix E) are
fitted with an electronic transducer. The
repeatability is within the 0.2% and the
accuracy is held within 1% over the
upper 80% of the full range.
The load rings can be supplied in different
versions depending upon the use and the
machine to be used with. For an easy and
complete identification of the ring model,
the code number is followed, with the
exception of the standard model by a suf-
fix letter as specified above.
No suffix letters
Example: 82-T1001
Identifies the standard model, which is
used for all tests, with the exception of the
shear box apparatus, which requires a ring
with special ends.
Suffix "/E" = with electronic transducer
Example: 82-T1004/E. This suffix identifies
the standard models in which are mounted
the conventional dial gauge together with
electronic transducer providing an electri-
cal signal for connection to a readout unit
or electronic data acquisition system.
Available up to 5 kN load capacity.
n o t e
All load rings are supplied with a
calibration chart prepared by a computer.
If necessary the calibration can be made
in other units.

PORTABLE UNIVERSAL
CORE DRILLING MACHINES
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 hori-
zontal 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.

AIR COMPRESSORS AND ACCESSORIES
We propose two different models for con-
tinuous working pressure up to 800 kPa
(model 86-D2015) or up to 1000 kPa
(model 86-D2018). An auxiliary air reservoir
50 litres cap. is recommended for use with
the 86-D2018 model. The use of an air
dryer (model 86-D2019) is also recommen-
ded to avoid damages to valves, machine
components etc.

MOBILE LABORATORIES
Introduction
In many cases, the mobile laboratory is the
first equipment to arrives on the job-site
and a smart, efficient, well equipped unit is
the best introduction for a contractor.
Controls manufactures a complete line of
mobile laboratories designed to meet all
possible requirements for rugged use in
distant and isolated areas in cold or tropi-
cal weathers.
Each model is available in both standard
and tropicalised versions. A wide range of
accessories makes the laboratory comple-
tely independent and self-sufficient.
The range of Controls mobile laboratories
covers mainly three types:
THE MODELS AUTOLAB, VAN MOUNTED.
Used where extreme mobility and manoeu-
vrability are requested.
THE MODELS TRAILAB, TRAILER MOUNTED.
Specially recommended for survey over
large areas, such as road construction
projects.
THE MODELS CONTALAB,
CONTAINER MOUNTED.
Used for long term testing at one site, as
well as for road construction.
Design Service
Controls can design the mobile laboratory
conforming to your requirement. We give
here some example of the mobile labora-
tory recently produced. Please feel free to
ask for further information.

tification only and does not constitute a sale by description or sample.

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

Company's price lists, catalogues etc are subject to alteration without
notice.

tion, commissioning and other costs unless expressly specified to the

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.
5.7 In the event of non-payment, late payment or other default by the

ment.

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.

ce the goods or reproduce or use any intellectual property rights of the

faulty materials or workmanship, providing they are returned carriage
paid to the Company. Other details of such warranty may be obtained
from the Company at any time and will be adequately stated in the
Company's brochures, manuals, quotations or invoices. In the circumstan-
ces where alternative notification is given to the Customer, such alterna-
tive details shall prevail over any other warranty details.
9.3 In the case of any goods not manufactured by the Company but supplied
by them or incorporated within the Company's goods, the Company is
unable to provide any warranty but will assign to or pass on to the
Customer the benefit of any such warranty that the Company shall itself
have received from its own supplier.

very of loss or damage but where goods are insured under the Companys

red by them in accordance with ICC (A) 1.1.82.

charge by the Company. The Company does not give warranty as to the
fitness of any packing for storage purposes or any other purpose other
than the transport of the goods to this named contract destination.
11.2 In all cases containers, bottles, packages and packing materials are not
returnable.

12.1 Nothing herein shall be deemed to exclude or restrict the Company's lia-
bility for death or personal injury resulting wholly from the negligence of
the Company.
12.2 The Company shall not be liable for any consequential or indirect loss
suffered by the Customer whether this loss arises from a breach of duty

ded by this clause if the claim had been made against the Company by

consequential as a result of use of the equipment for any purpose other
than that agreed nor for any use not stated and agreed in the Companys

Company shall be under no obligation in any manner and responsibility
and liability shall pass to the Customer.

consequential arising as a result of the failure by the Customer to comply
with the terms of the operating manual supplied with the goods or by
reason of a failure by the Customer to comply with the specified require-
ments for maintenance and calibration of the goods.

made by appropriately trained operatives. Training in the use of the

after the Customer receives the Company's notice then either party may
give written notice to the other cancelling the contract.
15.5 If the contract is cancelled in this way, the Company will refund any pay-
ment which the Customer has already made on account of the price
(subject to deduction of any amount the Company is entitled to claim
from the Customer) but the Company will not be liable to compensate
the Customer for any further loss or damage caused by the failure to
deliver.
16 Export
16.1 The Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that any import or
other regulations of any country or district to which the goods are to be
exported are complied with and the Company shall be under no liability
whatsoever should the goods subsequently fail to fulfil the requirements
of such regulations.
16.2 The Customer shall inform the Company of any intended further tranship-
ment of the goods to third parties and their proposed use so that the
Company may ensure that the contract is in compliance with any export
restrictions or embargoes laid down from time to time by European
governments. In the event that such restrictions prevent the Company
from complying with its contractual obligations the contract will be trea-
ted as being subject to Force Majeure and dealt with in accordance with

tion to the Company the Customer shall indemnify the Company against
any penalties, fines or other expenses incurred as a result.

assets or if a resolution for winding up shall be passed, then the
Company may treat all sums due or to become due on any delivery as
immediately payable or suspend or cancel further deliveries or require
payment in advance therefor or recover any goods which are unsold whe-
resoever they are stored or treat the contract as repudiated by the
Customer but without prejudice to any other rights of the Company.
17.2 Cancellation of the order by the Customer for whatever reason shall enti-
tle the Company to payment of all costs expenses and losses of the
Company arising therefrom. Such notification of cancellation by the
Purchaser shall not be deemed to have been accepted by the Company in
the absence of specific agreement by the Company in writing to that
affect. In all cases the Company reserves to itself any rights that it may
have in law.
