Indirect Tensile Tests

Indirect tensile tests to EN 12697-24, Annex E, EN 12697-26, Annex C and cyclic indirect tensile tests to AL-SP-Asphalt 09 are used to determine stiffness and fatigue properties. The cyclic indirect tensile test is the standard test method in Germany.

The test device is designed for specimen diameters of 100mm and 150mm and is equipped with integrated insertion and centering aids for the specimen and the clamping frame attached to it. Horizontal deformation is measured via two inductive displacement transducers in the clamping frame.
