CRT-SH SERVO-HYDRAULIC UNIVERSAL TESTING SYSTEM ASPHALT PHYSICAL TESTING

Nu-5 and Nu-10 SERVO-HYDRAULIC UNIVERSAL TESTING SYSTEM

Highway Engineering Pavement Design

"Almost all standard mechanical asphalt and triaxial unbound material tests can be run with this system"

A SERVO-HYDRAULIC TEST SYSTEM OFFERS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE POWER THAN PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS WITH HIGHER FORCES WHICH ARE CONTROLLABLE OVER A WIDER RANGE OF FREQUENCIES. FOR THESE REASONS SERVO-HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS ARE THE FIRST CHOICE OF RESEARCH CENTRES ALL OVER THE WORLD. UNTIL RECENTLY THE HIGH COST OF SERVO-HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS HAS PLACED THEM BEYOND THE REACH OF MANY LABORATORIES. NOW, HOWEVER, THE NEW CRT-SH RANGE PROVIDES EQUIPMENT AT THE RIGHT PRICE TO MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.see also NAT Asphalt Testing System
