What Is the Compression Testing Machine Hand Operated Used For?
Compressive strength is the property most often specified for concrete, and it is found by loading a specimen until it fails and dividing the maximum load by the loaded area. Here the operator sets the specimen on the grooved lower platen, using the spacer block where needed, and winds the lead screw down until the upper platen meets the specimen and its spherical seat settles. The hydraulic jack is then pumped by hand to apply load until failure, which makes the machine usable where no power supply is available; the standards listed are IS 516 and BS 1881.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of hand operated machines required.
- Capacity — the load range needed, between 50 kN and 3000 kN.
Frequently Asked Questions
What load ranges are offered?
The machine is offered in ranges from 50 kN up to 3000 kN, so the capacity can be chosen to suit the strength and size of the specimens tested.
How is the frame built?
The load frame is made of C channels welded at both the top and the bottom, with the hydraulic jack fitted at the centre of the base.
How does the upper platen align with the specimen?
The upper platen is fixed to the lower end of a lead screw that passes through the top of the frame, and its spherical seat lets it self-align with the specimen face.
How is the specimen positioned?
The lower platen and spacer block are located over the jack with a centering pin, and grooves on the lower platen help place the specimen correctly at the centre.
Which standards are listed for it?
The standards listed are IS 516 and BS 1881, and the platens of the machine are machined, hardened and polished.
What should overseas buyers include in an enquiry?
Overseas buyers should give the quantity and load range, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing requirements and any tender reference.
