Concrete Cylinder Compression Testing Machine

Concrete compression testing machines are available with total capacities from 250 to 500mlbf 1 112 to 2 224kn equipped with our pro or pro plus controllers.

Concrete cylinder compression testing machine.

Each series also offers several models with a range of capabilities for testing different sample types. All compression frames are built in the u s. A common break pattern is a conical fracture see figure. The loading rate on a hydraulic machine should be maintained in a range of 20 to 50 psi s 0 15 to 0 35 mpa s during the latter half of the loading phase.

To specifications exceeding current industry standards. Concrete testing equipment in australia laboratory testing of concrete is focused on compression testing of cylinder samples. Load frame capacities range from 250 000 to 500 000lbf 1 112 2 224kn for our standard 250 300 400 and 500 series or we can help you design a custom compression machine with capacities up 1 000 000lbf 4 448kn to test a wide range of concrete sample types and sizes. Humboldt s compression machines span a testing range from 30 000 to 500 000 lbs.

The only work done on site is to make a concrete cylinder for the compression test. Fire proofing depth gauge. The type of break should be recorded. These accurate and versatile machines will test everything from concrete cylinders to low strength concrete beams.

The cm 2500 series has all the features you look for in a basic easy to use machine for field or laboratory use. The compressive strength is a measure of the concrete s ability to resist loads which tend to crush it. Accurate versatile portable and dependable all in a compact design. Cylinders should be centered in the compression testing machine and loaded to complete failure.

The strength is measured in megapascals mpa and is commonly specified as a characteristic strength of concrete measured at 28 days after mixing. Plastic beam mold 6 x 6 x 21. As1012 defines the correct procedures equipment and sampling equipment for this test. Test mark is an international leader in the design and manufacture of concrete compression testing machines and accessories.

Other tests specified by this standard include flexural testing and determination of indirect flexural strength by splitting.
