This automatic unit from Controls Group uses no solvent so there are no fumes, making it extremely safe for the operator. The test takes only 40 minutes.
Controls Group launched the Automax range of testing machines at bauma 2013. The Automax Classic is an automatic unit for testing compressive and flexure strength of construction materials; Automax E-Modulus additionally performs tests to determine the elastic modulus and Automax Multitest has an extra channel to allow more sophisticated tests.
A look back at some of the developments this year, and a look ahead to what may come next reveals the increasing use of materials testing. New technology and new ways to process and analyse data will drive change even further - Kristina Smith reports
For materials testing equipment manufacturers, constant change is business as usual. New tests emerge, new standards are written and new practices spread around regions and the world. There are also new materials to deal with: bitumen modified with polymers
The Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, Department for Traffic Signalization, University of Zagreb has carried out extensive research into markings in partnership with SWARCO. The two bodies have evaluated the performance of waterborne and solvent based paints under normal usage conditions.
The aim is evaluate the use of waterborne road markings in Croatia, to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds and increase the safety of applicators by eliminating toxic and flammable materials. Te
