Used for the determination of compressive and flexural strength of cement samples, this device includes two different loads for two independent measuring ranges.
Apparatus:
- Flexural tests on cement prisms 40.1x40x160 mm (with the range 0 - 15 kN)
- Compression tests on portions of prism 40.1x40x160 mm broken in flexure, cubes side 40, 50, 70, 100 mm 2”, cores with max. height of 180 mm (with the range 0 - 300 kN).
- The applied load is measured by two strain gage load cells (15kN and 300 kN) at high accuracy.
This solution eliminates the weights of the piston and lower compression platen, packing set frictions etc., granting very high accuracy (max. error within ± 0,5%). The load chamber 0 - 15 kN permits very accurate tests on specimens having low strength (both in compression and in flexure).
Equipped with an electric microswitch to stop the piston after the specimen breakage, in order to avoid damages to the compression or flexure device.
