Description

Compression and flexural testing machine High Performance with dual testing chamber and two independent measuring ranges 300 kN AND 15 kN with load cells, Servo-plus progress control unit.

This testing machine is equipped with two load chambers with two independent measuring ranges. It is suitable to perform:

1. Flexural tests on cement prisms 40.1x40x160 mm (with the range 0-15 kN)
2. Compression tests on portions of prism 40.1x40x160 mm broken in flexure, cubes side 40, 50, 70, 100 mm 2”, cores with max. height of 180 mm (with the range 0 – 300 kN) by using the suitable compression devices (accessories E170 – E172-01).

The applied load is measured by two strain gage load cells (15kN and 300kN) at high accuracy. This solution eliminates the weights of the piston and lower compression platen, packing set frictions etc., granting very high accuracy (max. error within +/- 0,5%).

Equipped with an electric microswitch to stop the piston after the specimen breakage, in order to avoid damage to the compression or flexure device.

Note: Range 0-15 kN can be increased on request up to 25 kN.
