2000kN Cube and Cylinder Compression Machine

Designed to test 100mm, 150mm and 200mm cubes and cylinders up to 320mm long

Fully compliant with BS EN 12390-4 in terms of Force measurement &the stringent stability, alignment & restraint requirements of the Load Frame.

• Compact Welded steel load frame with a high degree of mechanical stability
• Ball-seated upper platen
• Lower platen, positively located on the loading ram, marked to allow centring of both cubes and cylinders
• Loading ram with cover to prevent debris damaging it during testing and a limit switch to prevent it from exceeding the maximum limit of travel
• Frame fitted with mesh guards at front and rear to protect the operator
• Front guard is hinged for ease of access
• Supplied with 300mm diameter upper and lower platens and 200mm diameter distance pieces to allow for testing cubes and cylinders

Fully Automatic Servo-Control

With pace rate, continuous load display and rapid platen approach facility. The motor operates micro-processor controlled multi-piston electric pump with a variable hydraulic output.

Fully Automatic Digital Control Unit

User-friendly menu driven software enables fully automatic test performance for compression, flexural and tensile tests on concrete and mortar specimens
