a testing system

that will meet your

testing challenge at

an affordable price.

There’s no limit to what you can do with our extensive range of asphalt testing machines and flexible add-on components. We’ve designed our products to answer your research and quality questions. And if they can’t, we’ll work with you to develop systems that can.

As no two tests or specimens are identical, our sophisticated machines come with affordable modular fixtures to perform a wide variety of tests. We’ve taken every possible step to minimise instrumental errors to deliver you the highest quality data for the best price.

Because we understand that the quality of your test specimen is critically important, we’ve developed an innovative range of precision specimen preparation equipment. This includes the PReSBOX–shearbox compactor that replicates real-life compaction

to produce high-quality homogenous asphalt prisms; the research specification, digitally-controlled Servopac gyratory compactor and the Automated Asphalt Saw.We’re here to help. Let us take the trouble out of accomplishing your advanced research pursuits.

8 UTS SOFTWARE & IMACS CONTROLLERS www.ipcglobal.com.au

UTS SOFTWARE

UTS is IPC Global’s test application software, found at the core of all our testing technologies. Developed over 20 years, it delivers clear analytical power.

IMACS CONTROLLERS

IPC Global’s Integrated Multi-Axis Control System

(IMACS) delivers leading-edge performance, unparalleled

real-time computer control and flexible data acquisition.

For servo-controlled testing machines, the IMACS provides excellent waveform fidelity from integrated channel acquisition and control functions, at speeds of up to 5kHz simultaneously on all channels.The IMACS has low data noise performance with 4x over-sampled data and selectable filtration. It provides exceptional data resolution and control with up to 20bit auto-ranging data acquisition. The Flash-based firmware allows field updates of all modules. Expandable, up to 8 control axes and 32 channel acquisition, you’ll have total confidence in the measurements taken from analogue inputs that auto-calibrate on power-up.

UTS software has numerous purpose-written

applications to make it easy for testing asphalt,

soil, unbound granular and other construction

material to international standards.

UTS software is developed from expert knowledge of applications to run automated test routines and therefore speed up testing. UTS is written in powerful, professional Delphi. It has real-time graphs for monitoring the specimen under test; portable data files for remote reviewing, analysis and troubleshooting; ‘live’ transducer levels display; and can playback vibration signatures with up to 40,000 data points.The purpose-built UTS applications have dialogue help boxes for automated test routines and easy-to-read graphics screens for test set up and reviewing results. Portable data files make it easy for remote reviewing, analysis and troubleshooting.

9 UTS SOFTWARE & IMACS CONTROLLERS www.ipcglobal.com.au

Powerful professional Delphi software

Save time analysing your materials using UTS software’s clear, precise, rich, user friendly tab-based interface with multiple real time graphical displays.

Purpose-written test applications

Benefit from more than 20 years of IPC Global’s expert software application development. With UTS test applications written around international standards you can concentrate on analysing your materials; not on programing your testing machine.

Test templates

Specific test settings can be entered and saved by the Chief Engineer or Laboratory Manager for easy recall and testing by laboratory technicians. There is no need to configure the machine each time you want to perform a specific test.

User programmable tests

When you are developing a new test method or want to run a novel test UTS User-programmable test allows you to take full control and determine all the test, control and analysis parameters.

All test data saved in portable binary files

A powerful feature unique to UTS software. When the test is finished UTS saves in a binary file the results, the data points but also every one of the test setup parameters and calibration parameters. This means that at any time in the future the test can be reviewed as if it has just been performed complete with all test control, PID, specimen settings and results.

The ultimate in clean accurate data

IMACS integrated control and data acquisition with 4x oversampling technology, auto-ranging and effective 20 bit data resolution gives unparalleled control and waveform fidelity.

10 SOIL TESTING PRODUCTS www.ipcglobal.com.au

SOIL TESTING PRODUCTS

Vibration and cyclic loading can have devastating

effects on the stability of structures.

These damaging loading patterns can be

caused by earthquake, blasting, ocean waves,

wind, construction, road and rail traffic.

Now you can use IPC Global’s dynamic soil

testing systems to increase your soil and unbound

material research capabilities and accurately

simulate extreme real life conditions.

For 15 years, IPC Global has been the leading

designer and manufacturer of technology for

performing advanced cyclic testing on soils. IPC

digital controllers and software have been the

driving force behind advanced soils testing systems

from ELE, Wykeham Farrance and Controls.

IPC Global has developed equipment that

enables researchers and engineers to perform

advanced tests simply and to understand the

critical behaviours and performance of soils under

dynamic and vibration loading conditions.

A Simple FACT (Fully-Automated Cyclic Triax)

IPC Global has simplified cyclic triaxial testing with their FACT. This machine is completely integrated, fully assembled and has everything you need for advanced soil testing in one compact unit. FACT’s innovative design unifies cell and reaction frame for streamlined, efficient testing. Plus, the easy specimen set-up and loading system means there’s no heavy lifting and the integrity of your specimen is retained with minimal disturbance.With FACT you can replicate earthquakes, quantify liquefaction potential of soils and silts, assess vibrations on local soil types and accurately determine cyclic or dynamic loading on foundations. FACT will allow you to do conventional testing including saturation, isotropic and anisotropic consolidation and shear parameters. Not only that, with FACT you can test all possible vibration patterns, reproduce any vibration signature or design unique vibration test routines. The FACT will help you study foundation designs of new and existing structures and evaluate vibration effects on existing structures. For performing advanced tests with complex loading conditions, FACT really does make your soil testing easy.

When you need the maximum flexibility to perform advanced soils analysis, IPC Global’s Universal Cyclic Triaxial System is available in a range of capacities and configuration to meet your specific needs.
