IPC Global, the researcher’s choice for advanced asphalt testing equipment has again set the benchmark for innovation and performance with the new AMPT PRO. Designed with the latest technologies and product developments, the AMPT PRO surpasses any other product on the market.
Fully complies with AASTHO TP9 and can perform the three asphalt tests of NCHRP Projects 9 -19 and 9-29 - Dynamic modulus, Flow number and Flow time with ease. In addition it can perform Uniaxial Fatigue / SVECD, Overlay test, Semi-Circular Bend, Indirect Tensile Dynamic Modulus, iRLPD and Small Diameter Dynamic Modulus and SVECD tests with the additional of optional hardware accessories.
The Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
This original Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester (AMPT) is the culmination of two National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) projects. IPC Global has been involved in IPC Global equipment, and has been successfully evaluated by NCHRP.
