your one stop shop for civil engineering testing equipment

Pioneers in Materials TestingEstablished in 1990, Cooper Technology is a British company and one of the world leaders in the design and manufacture of high performance testing equipment for asphalt, bitumen, concrete, cement, soil and aggregates testing equipment used in civil engineering.

The Nottingham Asphalt Tester (NAT), designed in the 1980’s by our Chairman Keith Cooper whilst working at the University of Nottingham, was the first of its type. Since then our product range has increased steadily and now includes Gyratory Compactors and Roller Compactors to prepare and compact specimens in addition to Servo-Hydraulic and Servo-Pneumatic Universal Testers, Triaxial Testers, Fatigue Systems and Wheel Trackers to perform standards.

Why Choose Cooper?GLOBAL SUPPLIER THAT IS LOCAL ENOUGH TO CARE…

As a customer focused business, we listen. The Cooper Technology approach is to first establish customer requirements and then to offer best advice on the options available in order that customers can make informed decisions. We pride ourselves on working in partnership with customers rather than just ‘order taking’. Our consultative approach ensures that the application is fully understood before an order is accepted, thus ensuring the equipment ordered is fit for purpose and will deliver the expected results and reliably day after day and year after year.

DESIGN, DEVELOP, AUTOMATE, TEST…

Cooper Technology is much more than a manufacturer: all our machines are fully designed and developed by our dedicated in-house design team, all our engineers are degree educated in their relevant fields, and every engineering discipline is covered.Mechanical Design via the use of 3D CAD packages we ensure our business is best positioned to utilise the most state-of-the-art geometrical modelling systems available. These systems further permit calculating customer specific solutions within the shortest possible time.

Electrical/Electronic Design

The team works according to the very latest norms in system technology. Our customers expect electronic products that have better quality, more flexibility and new features at a competitive price. To remain at the forefront of today’s market demands, we equip our design engineers with systems that deliver flexibility, high performance and reliability.

Software Design

NI LabVIEW is our chosen solution: our highly trained professional users develop using this language. NI LabVIEW is a graphical development environment that combines the ease of use of configuration-based tools with the flexibility of a powerful programming language. It enables the programmer to quickly create user interfaces as well as perform advanced control, signal processing and analysis, communication and logging.

Hydraulic/ Pneumatic

Cooper engineers team up with global industry specialists to deliver a system that utilises the best possible solutions on the market today. Our Servo-Hydraulic/Pneumatic solutions have delivered reliably over the last 20 years, whilst being consistently refreshed in order to ensure the perfect interface with mechatronic solutions.

AwardsCooper Technology is proud winner of The ICE East Midlands Merit Awards (EMMAs) 2012 for testing equipment in ‘Studies and Research Category’. The ICE EMM Awards are the region’s annual celebration of civil engineering excellence. The awards took place during the annual ICE East Midlands Gala Dinner held on Friday, 7 June 2012 at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel.

Cooper Technology strikes again; after winning the EEF’s Future Manufacturing Business Growth Award 2010, is conferred with International Business of the year for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Cooper was declared regional winner at the Roundhouse in Derby on the 26th of February 2010.

Corporate Social ResponsibilityOrganisations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on the support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must pay back this generosity in every way they can…We strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as corporate entity is to our stakeholders – we are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have with our entire body of stakeholders- from employees, customers, business partners, eco-system, local communities, and to society at large.For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an ongoing year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very core of our business objectives and strategy.Because we believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right. Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.

Cooper engages with ‘Colts to Africa’to help underpriviliged childrenMANUFACTURE ECO-FRIENDLY EQUIPMENT

Although it is very challenging to manufacture eco-friendly testing equipment for asphaltic and unbound materials, however our engineers endeavour to work on more energy efficient designs and manufacture energy efficient testing equipment.As part of our overall commitment to corporate social responsibility, Cooper Technology developed it’s first eco-friendly testing equipment called Auto Lift Arm ECO Wheel Tracker in 2010. It is small and compact machine for maximum energy efficiency.

AUTO LIFT ARM ECO WHEEL TRACKER IS 28% MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT THAN ITS PEER WHEEL TRACKING MACHINES.

RESPECT FOR ENVIRONMENT

We understand the importance of environment. At Cooper Technology we try to minimise waste and take every single and even simple steps like switching off the lights and equipment when not needed, switching off computer monitors during the night, avoid printing unnecessary emails and recycling paper. We have cut-down hardcopy catalogue printing by 85% and prefer to promote our product digitally.

Remote Support ServiceCooper Technology provides an easy access, cost effective remote service support program that allows us to fix many issues on your computer, and Cooper testing equipment, from the comfort of your laboratory or business. All you need to do is download our custom remote support program and we will do the rest. Once work is completed all traces of the program are removed and we are unable to access your computer again until you initiate the connection. All connections from our office to your system are encrypted so you can rest easily knowing that your information is completely safe.

We can fix a large range of problems remotely including, but not limited to:

• Software problems• Installation of programs• Software patches• Software upgrades• Maintenance• Program configuration• Tests and PC optimisation

This is just a small list of what can be accomplished remotely and, best of all, you don’t even have to be at the system once you run the program.

Calibration ServicesBritish scientist Lord Kelvin is quoted from his lecture to the Institution of Civil Engineers, 3 May 1883 as saying:

“I often say that if you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers your knowledge is a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge but you have

scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be.”

This famous quote emphasises the importance that measurement has in science, industry and commerce. Prior to dispatch, where appropriate, each piece of our test equipment is calibrated by qualified engineers using procedures and equipment which is scrutinised annually by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). The International Laboratory Cooperation (ILAC) links UKAS with accreditation bodies worldwide. All equipment needs to be UKAS calibrated and traceable to national standards in order to satisfy typed testing as described in the EN13108. Although equipment from Cooper Technology normally continues to perform correctly and produce accurate results for many years, over time and through application there could be some component wear and the output from electronic components may drift. A highways material laboratory is not an ideal environment for instruments that must, in some cases, measure displacements within accuracies in excess of one millionth of a metre.

The Benefits of CalibrationTo comply with your internal quality assurance policy and to demonstrate a disciplined commitment to sound laboratory management.

• To have the confidence that your test equipment continues to function correctly and to ensure that it maintains the required level of measurement accuracy you would expect.

• To enhance your customers’ confidence in a reliable and accurate testing service.

• To gain national and international recognition of your testing and to • help you to access foreign markets where laboratory accreditation is

compulsory.

The equipment needs checking and calibrating at least annually by one of our fully trained, UKAS approved engineers from Cooper Technology Calibration Division. On completion of the calibration, our engineer will provide you with an update on the condition of the equipment, together with a traceable calibration certificate.

What do people think about us?It is very important for us to know your opinion about our products, processes and services. We value your comments and suggestions, it helps us to peruse excellence in products, processes and services. If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to write to us: [email protected].

I would like to comment on how impressed we are with the new Wheel Tracker ECO Small Device since we purchased the machine beginning this year. It has been in constant use. The benefit that we have seen in that this version is fully automated from start to finish, compared to the standard 1 arm wheel tracker, which is quite a bit labour intensive where you have to physically place the arm/wheel on the specimen, wait until test temp is achieved before starting the test, and lifting the wheel off the specimen at the end of the test. Our technicians also find our software a lot more user friendly.

DESCRIPTION

TG-0411 AND TG-0412 SIEVE SHAKERS

TG-0411 and TG-0412 impart a circular motion to the material being sieved so that it makes a slow progression over the surface of the sieve. They are ideal for on-site and heavy duty applications when heavy or large bulk samples are to be analysed.The sieve shakers are equipped with a dynamic power source which ensures the right vibration is imparted to the sieves and sample for fast, accurate and reproducible tests. The vertical movement is fixed to ensure the sample spends maximum time on the sieve surface. The unique vibratory action also helps keep the apertures clear and free from binding.The Sieve Shakers are fitted with a very efficient clamping device that ensures sieves are held firmly without over-tightening and allows them to be quickly removed and replaced. The timer can be preset for any duration up to 60 minutes. The TG-0412 model has the additional frequency adjustment facility.

Sieve Capacity: 15 pieces of 200 mm sieves + pan and cover;10 pieces of 300 mm or 315 mm sieves + pan and cover.

Wet sieving kits in the appropriate sizes may be used with this shaker.The TG-0413 sieve shaker has been specially designed to operate with heavy samples without loss of performance. It is equipped with a dynamic power source which ensures the right vibration is imparted to the sieves and sample for fast, accurate and reproducible tests. The vertical movement is fixed to ensure the sample spends maximum time seeking apertures rather than being suspended in mid air. The unique vibratory action also helps keep the apertures clear and free from binding.The TG-0413 Sieve Shaker imparts a circular motion to the material being sieved so that it makes a slow progression overthe surface of the sieve. It is ideal for on site and heavy duty applications. When heavy or large bulk samples need to be analysed it’s important to use a shaker that is built for the job.

DESCRIPTION

Aggregate Abrasion Machine determines the Aggregate Abrasion Value by testing the measure of the resistance of aggregate to surface wear by abrasion.Two specimens are pressed against the surface of a steel disc rotating in a horizontal plane, with a force of 0.365 Newton’s per sq. centimetre. Sand, fed by hoppers, is used as an abrasive. After 500 disc revolutions the amount of material abraded is measured by calculation of the weight loss of the aggregate.The percentage loss in mass of chippings as known as the ‘Aggregate Abrasion Value’ (AAV), and ranges from about 1 for hard flints to over 16 for aggregates normally considered too soft for use in road surfacing.CRT-AAM-AGG should be ordered separately.

STANDARDS

EN 1097-8:2009 (formerly BS 812 pt114: 1989); ASTM E303-93;ASTM D3319-99

DESCRIPTION

Accelerated Polishing Machine is used to produce polished stone samples of aggregates used in road surfaces, to simulate actual road conditions. In 1950 increased traffic flow and higher speeds, together with concerns about road safety led to research into the relationship between road materials and skid-resistance. Research at the UK Transport Road Research Laboratory showed a significant relationship between polishing of aggregates used in road surfaces and skid resistance. Tests were devised using an Accelerated Polishing Machine and a friction measuring device (known as the Pendulum Skid Tester, also supplied by Cooper, to determine (PSV) Polished Stone Value).

Fourteen specimen aggregate samples are clamped around a rotating Road Wheel. These samples are subjected to two timed stages of abrasive polishing under a loaded rubber tyre. First by Corn Emery grit, and secondly by Flour Emery powder.

Accessories/consumables are not included in the price of the main device and may be purchased separately if required.

KEY FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

The Cooper-Wessex Pendulum Skid Tester CRT-PENDULUM is high quality skid resistance testing equipment. Originally designed in the 1940s in the US, the instrument was further developed in the 1960s at the UK Transport Research Laboratory for the testing of road surfaces.

The CRT-PENDULUM measures the frictional resistance between a rubber slider mounted on the end of a pendulum arm and the test surface. This provides highway engineers with a routine method of checking the resistance of wet and dry surfaces to slipping and skidding, both in the lab and on site.

It is based on the Izod principle: a pendulum rotates about a spindle attached to a vertical pillar. At the end of the tubular arm a head of known mass is fitted with a rubber slider. The pendulum is released from a horizontal position so that it strikes the sample surface with a constant velocity. The distance travelled by the head after striking the sample is determined by the friction of the sample surface. A reading of Skid Resistance is obtained.

KEY FEATURES

• Designed for laboratory and in situ road surface testing • Dispatched calibrated to EN1097-8 (accredited under ISO

9001:2000) • Low friction arm, and lightweight pointer• Comes with integral ‘F’ scale for use with small slider set

This mould is also used for determining the length change of hardened cement paste, mortar and concrete.

The test also requires TCM-0037 or TCM-0038 Length Comparators. By removing the special rack, TA-0880 Aggregate Reaction Bath can also be used as a general purpose water bath.

DESCRIPTION

The TC-1035 Semi-Automatic Grinding Machine provides fastgrinding of cylinder specimen ends to obtain plane and parallel surfaces according to EN and ASTM standards. The ony difference between automatic machine and semi-automaticmachine is that the cradle of the semi-automatic machine is moved toward the grinding wheel by the user.

All grinding process is automatic except the movement of the cradle for semi-automatic machine. The optimum cycle to be applied by the user is 5-6 cycle/per minute. Three units of Ø38 to 100 mm or two units of Ø150-160 mm concrete cylinders ends can be ground simultaneously with the suitable cradle and water restraint panel. The length of the specimen must be longer than 70 mm.

The Planeness and the perpendicularity of the test cylinder ends are in accordance with ASTM and EN standards. The Planeness accuracy of grinded surface is 0.05 mm. The deviation of O perpendicularity of the side with reference to the end faces is 5 . The cradle which specimens are fixed on has automatic bidirectional radial displacement ability. The safe and ergonomic design prevents the user to exposure to water and dust and provides easy access to the water inlet and outlet.

Specimen cradles and water restraint panels can easily be installed without the need for any assembly. Mobility of the machine is achieved with the help of the integral wheels, and all components of the system can be safely accessed for easy maintenance. The machine is manufactured from stainless steel for resistance to corrosion.

DESCRIPTION

This test method has been developed to assess the deterioration of rocks over a period of time when subjected to water immersion. Slake durability is a simulated weathering test to determine abrasion resistance during wetting and drying cycles of shale and similar soft rocks as used in embankments and other construction-related applications. Samples are alternately tumbled in mesh drums through a water medium and oven-dried for two cycles. The percent loss of mass is referred to as the slake durability index.The TR-0800 Slake Durability Apparatus consists of a motorised drive unit which is mounted on a baseplate and which can rotate two or four drums at a speed of 20 rpm. The tank assemblies are filled with water to a level 20 mm below the drum axis. The test drums are manufactured from 2.00 mm mesh, 140 mm dia. x 100 mm long.

DESCRIPTION

TR-0563 The type L Original Schmidt is the ideal option for testing thin walled items with a thickness between 50 to 100 mm (2“ and 4”) or for analysing small components. It is also suitable for examining cast stone components which are sensitive to impact. In rock mechanics, the type L Original Schmidt is commonly used for the classification of rock cores and brittle rock.

TR-0563 Type L Hammer is a portable and relatively inexpensive İnstrument for measuring the surface hardness of rock. The hammer can be used efficiently in both laboratory and the field setting.

The mechanism of operation is simple: a hammer released bya spring, indirectly impacts against the rock surface througha plunger and the rebound distance of the hammer is then read directly from the scale ranging from 10 to 70 MPa (1,450 to 10,152 psi).The type L hammer is used on NX or larger core specimens orblock specimens having an edge length of at least 6 cm. TC-3040 Calibration Anvil, manufactured from a special steelalloy, is used for the calibration of test hammers.

DESCRIPTION

TR-0564 Rock Schmidt Test Hammer (Proceq) is the world’s most advanced rebound hammer fully adapted specifically to the extremely varied rock testing applications (testing on cores and blocks). The RockSchmidt incorporates statistical methods based on ASTM and ISRM recommendations and provides the user with the freedom to define his own statistical process for determining a rebound number.

DESCRIPTION

• Impact Angle Independence: The rebound value is independent of the impact direction

• Optimised for Field Work: Tighter sealing against dirt and dust intrusion for longer life. Significantly lighter and moreergonomic than the classic Schmidt hammer. A large number of readings can be saved and downloaded later toa PC

• Preset Statistics: Statistics methods recommended by ISRM and ASTM are implemented into the hammer for automatic calculation of the rebound number. The option is also there to define a user specific statistics method

• Unconfined Compressive Strength: ISRM recommends a correlation between UCS and the rebound value based on the formula UCS = aebR (where R is the rebound value). A correlation in this format may be defined in the PC software and downloaded onto the RockSchmidt

• E-Modulus: ISRM recommends a correlation between elastic modulus and the rebound value based on the formula Et = cedR (where R is the rebound value). A correlation in this format may be defined in the PC software and downloaded onto the RockSchmidt

• Weathering Grade: Impacting on the same location twice can be used to correlate to weathering grade. The ISRM recommended method has been included in the device
