Concrete Cylinder Compression Testing Machine

Accurate versatile portable and dependable all in a compact design.

Concrete cylinder compression testing machine.

Test mark is an international leader in the design and manufacture of concrete compression testing machines and accessories. To specifications exceeding current industry standards. Each series also offers several models with a range of capabilities for testing different sample types. Cylinders should be centered in the compression testing machine and loaded to complete failure.

Each frame can be fitted with a number of fixtures to allow testing of different concrete specimen types. Load frame capacities range from 250 000 to 500 000lbf 1 112 2 224kn for our standard 250 300 400 and 500 series or we can help you design a custom compression machine with capacities up 1 000 000lbf 4 448kn to test a wide range of concrete sample types and sizes. The cm 2500 series has all the features you look for in a basic easy to use machine for field or laboratory use. The only work done on site is to make a concrete cylinder for the compression test.

Humboldt s concrete compression frames are designed to handle the daily demands of testing concrete cylinders beams blocks and cubes. All compression frames are built in the u s. The strength is measured in megapascals mpa and is commonly specified as a characteristic strength of concrete measured at 28 days after mixing. Plastic beam mold 6 x 6 x 21.

The loading rate on a hydraulic machine should be maintained in a range of 20 to 50 psi s 0 15 to 0 35 mpa s during the latter half of the loading phase. A common break pattern is a conical fracture see figure. These accurate and versatile machines will test everything from concrete cylinders to low strength concrete beams. Other tests specified by this standard include flexural testing and determination of indirect flexural strength by splitting.

Fire proofing depth gauge. The type of break should be recorded. The compressive strength is a measure of the concrete s ability to resist loads which tend to crush it. As1012 defines the correct procedures equipment and sampling equipment for this test.

Humboldt s compression machines span a testing range from 30 000 to 500 000 lbs.
