The ram carrying the lower platen is contained in the base of the frame and is protected by a shroud. Sufficient clearance between the platens allows the compression testing of concrete cylinders up to 160 mm diameter by 320 mm long. To allow for the compression testing of concrete cubes, a range of distance pieces is available. Tension tests on steel reinforcing bars are conducted by replacing the platens with special grips. As standard the machine is supplied with the following size grips for testing bars, 10 mm, 12 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm diameter. The machine is motorised, incorporating a change-over lever to select either compression or tension output from the pump. ±Compression testing of concrete cubes and cylinders. ±Calibration in compression is accurate to 1% of indicated load, satisfying BS EN ISO 7500-1; ASTM E4. ±Self-aligning upper platen for compression tests. ±Easily fitted grips for tension testing.SpecificationsPower Supply220-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, 1 phDimensions L x W x H (mm)440 x 600 x 1250Max Vert.

Movement of structures which may be induced by temperature changes, ground vibrations, cyclic loading of road pavements and many other external influences, will set up internal stresses within a concrete member. Modern concrete technology utilises a wide range of materials such as glass or steel fibres to improve the flexural strength of the concrete. These modified concretes often require the use of special tests and equipment. Lower loads are used to test concrete in flexure; however, the shape and size of test specimens is such that larger and often heavy specimens can be difficult to handle. ELE has designed the range of machines offered to provide for ease of specimen positioning and subsequent testing. The range of flexural test equipment offered provides a wide variety of choice and test methods including low strength compression tests using optional ball seating assemblies.Flexural & Transverse (Flags) Frame 100 kN.
