Smart-Jig for IDEAL-CT & TSR Testing

Smart-Jig for IDEAL-CT & TSR Testing: The Ultimate Upgrade for Your Load Frame

Give New Life to Your Existing Load Frames Upgrade your laboratory's capabilities without the high cost of a new machine. The InstroTek Smart-Jig is an innovative, self-contained testing jig designed to modernize older load frames, enabling them to perform advanced asphalt strength tests with digital precision and ease.

Versatile, Two-in-One Testing Capability The Smart-Jig is engineered to perform two critical asphalt loading tests, ensuring compliance with the latest industry standards:

1. Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR): Fully compliant with AASHTO T-283, ASTM D4867, and EN 12697-12.
2. IDEAL Cracking Tolerance Test (IDEAL-CT): Meets the requirements of ASTM D8225-19.

(Note: The host load frame must meet the minimum requirements outlined in ASTM D8225 for IDEAL-CT testing. Please contact InstroTek to verify compatibility with your specific load frame model.)

Seamless Data Management with Smart Technology The Smart-Jig is the first device of its kind to feature an integrated high-precision load cell, advanced electronics, and built-in Bluetooth connectivity. This all-in-one design eliminates complex wiring and external data acquisition systems.

Paired with our user-friendly SmartLoader Application—available for both Android and Windows devices—users can:

• Control tests directly from a smartphone or the included tablet.
• View real-time data plots during testing.
• Instantly calculate, analyze, and store test results.
• Effortlessly generate and share professional reports, eliminating manual calculations and potential human error.

Why Upgrade to the Smart-Jig? Don't discard your reliable but outdated load frame. Many older units suffer from slow data capture rates and obsolete mechanical plotters that are expensive and difficult to maintain. The Smart-Jig bypasses these limitations by providing:

• High-Resolution Data Capture: A state-of-the-art system captures data at 40 Hz, providing the detail needed for accurate, repeatable results.
• Cost-Effective Modernization: Avoids the need for special graph paper and pens, saving hundreds of dollars in annual consumable costs.
• Built for Durability: Constructed to withstand the harsh conditions of the construction materials testing environment, each Smart-Jig comes with a 1-year warranty.
• All-Inclusive System: The package is ready to use out of the box with a pre-loaded Android tablet and software—no additional parts or accessories are required.

The Smart-Jig is the most intelligent and economical upgrade available to extend the life and functionality of your existing load frame.
