IPC Global was formed in 1981 and it is recognised as being among the market leaders in the materials testing industry. They specialize in the development. distribution and design of materials testing technologies. They supply a wide range of technologies for testing soil, rock, asphalt and a variety of other construction materials. Every day IPC systems are used for quality assurance and to enhance research within the civil engineering, manufacturing and construction industries. IPC systems are in use all around the globe and comply with a variety of global standards including ISO, ASTM and AASHTO. The IPC range of products for 2011 includes a number of new additions and improved designs. New and improved soil testing machines are available in the form of cyclic triaxial machines which may be used to test soil and other unbound materials. The system has the ability to conduct isotropic, saturation, dynamic modulus and resilient modulus testing. IPC have a variety of systems for testing asphalt. The IPC AMPT(asphalt mixture performance tester) is a fully integrated package. It was designed to conduct tests which comply with NCHRP 9-19 and also 9-29. The most significant feature of this type of testing equipment is the chamber in which the sample is confined and analyzed. IPC Global uses a very modified, geotechnical triaxial cell, which doubles as an environmental chamber. This means that the sample can be seen at all times without needing any special lighting.
