Compression Machines
Compression Machines
Four columns prestressed frame machines for production routine tests, designed to be in compliance with the ASTM standards.
The requirements respected are: ASTM C39 | BS 1610 | NF P18-411 | AASHTO T22
Their main features are:
- Compression platens are surface hardened over 55 HRC and rectified.
- Device to check piston’s excursion during test.
- The columns are prestressed to provide a very high rigidity.
- Piston having 50 mm stroke and cylinder are coupled with high quality packing set.
- The tank has an oil level and oil discharge.
- Dial speed selector to display, pre-select and control oil flow.
- Multipiston power pump assuring continuity of delivery.
- Fast approach ram device to avoid dead times.
- Ball seating is accurately machined.
All the machines are divided by their capability and their load measuring system.
Types of Compression Testing Machines :
- Analogue Compression Testing Machine
- Digital Compression Testing Machine
- Automatic Compression Testing Machine
- Servo Controlled Compression Testing Machine
Concrete compression machine 1300 kN analogue, 1 gauge
ASTM C39 AASHTO T22 NF P18-411 BS 1610
Compression testing machine 1300 kN motorized 1 gauge to test cylinders up to diameter 160×320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm side.
Suitable for cylinders up to 160×320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm side.
It has the possibility to be provided with a hand operated system to apply the load. In that case, one- and two-gauge load measuring systems are available.
Considering the motorized versions, it can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems
2000 kN Compression Machines, Wide Platens
Version of the 2000kN provided with larger platens and a reduced maximum vertical daylight.
It is able to test cylinders up to 280 mm height and cubes up to 200mm side.
It can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems.
2000 kN Compression Machines, Block Platens
Another version of the 2000 kN, designed to test bigger samples. The distance between columns is increased, amplifying the space for lodging the samples, replacing cylindrical platens with rectangular ones.
Indeed, it is able to test cylinders up to 160×320 mm, cubes up to 300mm side and blocks up to 500x300mm.
It can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems.
5000 kN Compression Machines
These machines are characterized by the highest load capacity available, with a vertical daylight of 530 mm, allowing to test cylinders up to 250×500 mm and cubes up to 300 mm.
It can be provided with two load measuring systems: the Cyber-Plus Evolution and the Servo-Plus Evolution. The other systems are not available with this type of machine.
