Concrete Cylinder Compression Testing Machine

Concrete testing equipment in australia laboratory testing of concrete is focused on compression testing of cylinder samples.

Concrete cylinder compression testing machine.

The type of break should be recorded. The strength is measured in megapascals mpa and is commonly specified as a characteristic strength of concrete measured at 28 days after mixing. 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. 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.

Each frame can be fitted with a number of fixtures to allow testing of different concrete specimen types. The only work done on site is to make a concrete cylinder for the compression test. 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. Accurate versatile portable and dependable all in a compact design.

The compressive strength is a measure of the concrete s ability to resist loads which tend to crush it. Each series also offers several models with a range of capabilities for testing different sample types. As1012 defines the correct procedures equipment and sampling equipment for this test. To specifications exceeding current industry standards.

Plastic beam mold 6 x 6 x 21. All compression frames are built in the u s. Other tests specified by this standard include flexural testing and determination of indirect flexural strength by splitting. Humboldt s compression machines span a testing range from 30 000 to 500 000 lbs.

These accurate and versatile machines will test everything from concrete cylinders to low strength concrete beams.
