Product Code : EL-CTLE-10925
Digital Compression Testing Machine (Channel and Pillar Type) (code EL-CTLE-10925) is an electrically pumped compression tester for concrete, with load shown in kN on a 4-digit digital indicator. It is built as either a channel or a pillar type frame in ranges from 50 kN to 3000 kN; micro switches stop the motor before overload, relays prevent it restarting after a power breakdown, and a control knob sets the pace rate.

What Is the Digital Compression Testing Machine (Channel and Pillar Type) Used For?
In a compressive strength test the load has to rise at a steady pace rate, since loading too fast or too slow changes the failure load recorded. The operator places the concrete specimen, starts the electrically operated pump and turns the control knob while watching the digital readings in kN, holding the rate steady until the specimen fails. The micro switches cut the motor if the load nears the preset maximum capacity, so the gauge is not overloaded, and the relays keep the motor from starting again unexpectedly when power returns after a breakdown. For this digital machine the standards listed are IS 516 and BS 1881.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of digital channel or pillar machines required.
- Frame type and capacity — channel or pillar type, with a range between 50 kN and 3000 kN.
- Supply — single phase 220 V A.C. or 3 phase 440 V A.C. electrical connection.
- Extra gauge — whether the optional extra gauge (max. 1 no.) is to be attached.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the load displayed?
The digital indicator has a 4-digit display calibrated in kilonewtons and is preset to the maximum load capacity of the machine.
What stops the machine from being overloaded?
Micro switches switch off the motor when the load approaches the maximum capacity of the gauge, so the machine is not overloaded during a test.
What happens after a power cut?
Relays are incorporated so that the motor does not restart on its own when power returns after a breakdown in the supply; the operator has to start it again.
How is the pace rate controlled?
The electrically operated pumping unit has a control knob for the pace rate, which an experienced operator adjusts during the test by observing the progress of the digital readings.
Which frame types and capacities are available?
Both channel and pillar type frames are available, in ranges from 50 kN to 3000 kN, with single phase 220 V or 3 phase 440 V A.C. connection.
What should an export enquiry give?
An export enquiry should give the number of machines with frame type and range, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing needs and any tender reference.
