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.

Accurate versatile portable and dependable all in a compact design. Each frame can be fitted with a number of fixtures to allow testing of different concrete specimen types. A common break pattern is a conical fracture see figure. Fire proofing depth gauge.

Humboldt s concrete compression frames are designed to handle the daily demands of testing concrete cylinders beams blocks and cubes. Plastic beam mold 6 x 6 x 21. The type of break should be recorded. Each series also offers several models with a range of capabilities for testing different sample types.

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. Other tests specified by this standard include flexural testing and determination of indirect flexural strength by splitting. Test mark is an international leader in the design and manufacture of concrete compression testing machines and accessories.

Cylinders should be centered in the compression testing machine and loaded to complete failure. All compression frames are built in the u s. Humboldt s compression machines span a testing range from 30 000 to 500 000 lbs. The cm 2500 series has all the features you look for in a basic easy to use machine for field or laboratory use.

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.

To specifications exceeding current industry standards.
