Indirect Tension & Creep Compliance
The GCTS IDT-FRM Indirect Tension Module can be used with any GCTS loading frame to easily perform indirect tension or creep compliance tests on Hot Mix Asphalt specimens. The easy-to-use centering mechanism ensures that the specimen is precisely centered for each test. Both frame-mounted and specimen-mounted deformation sensors can be used, ensuring that this module meets the newest ASTM, AASHTO, and EN testing standards.
