Digital Cement Compression/Flexural Machine

Main image shows compression machine with Compression & Flexural Devices, available separately.

Compression/Flexural Testing Machine to EN 196/1 – ASTM C109 – BS 3892 – DIN 1164

Load Frame

• 165mm diameter upper and lower platens
• 189mm vertical daylight between platens
• Dual loading chamber:
  0 - 250 kN (for compression tests)
  0 - 15 kN (for flexure tests)
• Applied load is measured by two highly accurate load cells (15kN and 250kN capacity) having a maximum error within ± 0.5%
• Low capacity piston (15kN) allows accurate testing of samples with low strength, both in compression and in flexure
• Maximum piston stroke approximately 35mm
• Applied load is displayed through the digital readout
• Polycarbonate hinged safety guards to CE Directive
• 2 column rigid frame construction, fitted on a steel base, complete with container for sample debris collection
• Calibration accuracy: Grade 1.0
• Supplied complete with lower compression platen and coupling piece to fit compression/flexural devices

Power supply: 230V 50Hz 1ph 750 W
Dimensions: 700mm x 400mm x 1500mm high
Weight: 250kg
