HIGHLIGHTS
Frames
These machines, featuring a very rigid four columns frame, have been designed for the testing of the cement prism either in compression or in flexure.
Four versions are available:
65-L27F1x
models, double testing chamber, 15/300 kN cap., inbuilt flexural jig for 40x40x160 cement prisms and compression apparatus for portions of 40x40x160 mm prisms broken in flexure.
Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11.
65-L28F1x
models, double testing chamber, 15/300 kN cap., fitted with round platens for testing in compression and flexion cement, mortar, resins and other materials.
Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11, ASTM C109, C348, C349 using the suitable accessories.
65-L18F1x
models, 300 kN cap., fitted with round platens for testing cement, mortar, resins and other materials and other materials.
Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11, ASTM C109, C349 using the suitable accessories.
65-L38F1x
models, 300 kN cap., fitted with round platens for testing cement, mortar, resins and other materials featuring increased vertical and horizontal daylights.
Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11, ASTM C109, C349 using the suitable accessories.
All models are fitted with high accuracy load cell/s or load measurement.
Models fitted with compression platens 165 mm dia. (65-L28F1x, 65-L18F1x) have a vertical span of 200 mm hence can house all standard accessories for cement and mortar testing (see accessories) and furthermore can be used to test other specimens directly on the standard compression platens adjusting, if necessary, the vertical daylight, with the suitable distance pieces (see accessories).
Model 65-L38F1x features increased vertical and horizontal dayligths to allow different kind of test, for example it’s possible to perform flexural test on concrete beams with suitable accessory.
Compression platens can be supplied complete with Platen surface hardness certificate.
