The digital compression testing machine has been designed to meet the need for a simple and economic means to test concrete for its compressive strength.
LOADING UNIT.
The loading unit consists of a cross-head and base with solid channel supports connecting the base and cross-head firmly.
The Hydraulic jack is fixed to the base. The platen of the machine are hardened ground and polished. The upper platen is provided with self-aligning action. To facilitate testing of various size specimens. Platen is adjustable with adjusting screw. The machine is equipped with Manual pace rate controller. The pace rate of the machine is manually controllable with slow / fast Oil pressure valve.
The Complete unit comprises a Loading Unit which is of Solid channel welded construction, having a cross-head with a spherical seated platen. The lower platen is attached to the top of the piston. The Loading capacity is of 1200 KN, Cubes up to 200 mm & Cylinders up to 150 mm dia X 300 mm height can be tested using the appropriate spacers.
The pump facilitates rapid approach of the platens for daylight closure and also provides Manual control over the application of load. Maximum load is held and retained for approx. 15 min, unless cancelled, using the panel mounted reset switch.
Salient fetchers of data manager PC software (Optional Ar Extra Cost.)
- Two way communication i.e machine operates from computer and from the touch screen controller both (Stat, stop, save data and save graph)
- Results directly saved in excel file
- Graph also saved in excel file
- Capable to save customer name, other details of cutomer, ageing of cube moulds, identification mark of the cube mould, date and time of testing
- Capable to print direct report from the computer
- Capable to select different test perameters like pace rate, sample size and area from the computer (software)
NOTE : Use of 3 KVA Three Phase Servo controlled stabilizer is essential to protect the machine against voltage fluctuations. Warranty void in case of any damage due to power fluctuations.
