Simple Performance Test System
Interlaken Awarded Simple Performance Test System Contract
Chaska, MN --- Interlaken Technology Corporation is pleased to announce that they were awarded a development contract to design and build the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 9-29 First Article Simple Performance Test System. It is a computer controlled hydraulic testing machine to conduct three NCHRP Project 9-29 compressive tests on cylindrical asphalt concrete specimens. The three tests are the flow time test, flow number test and the dynamic modulus test.
Protocol W1 (flow time test) is the simple performance test for permanent deformation based upon static creep over flow time strength of asphalt concrete mixtures. Protocol W2 (flow number test) is the simple performance test for permanent deformation based upon repeated load test of asphalt concrete mixtures. Protocol X1 (dynamic modulus test) is the simple performance test for permanent deformation based upon dynamic modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures.
The Interlaken Simple Performance Test System includes flexible, fully integrated software for control, data acquisition and real time monitoring. UniTest, Interlaken’s control system software, features a test wizard to guide the operator through each testing process. In addition, a real time graphic scope provides instant visual feedback of up to six channels of system data. The data is automatically collected and recorded with time stamp information for analyzing data. Software produces reports in a format specified by NCHRP 9-29.
To maximize the accessibility during specimen setup, Interlaken integrates the pressure vessel and temperature chamber. The enclosure is lifted hydraulically to expose all sides of the specimen.
For over 25 years, Interlaken Technology Corporation has been designing and manufacturing servo controlled testing and production equipment with sophisticated controls and monitoring software. It is this experience and knowledge that allows us to provide you with the best possible solutions for your test and production press equipment. Interlaken offers an extensive warranty and solid service and technical support.
