Description:
- UTC-5729 and UTC-5739 compression testing frames with rigid welded steel walls for masonry units, cubes and cylinders consist of a loading cylinder assembly, lower and upper (spherically-seated) loading platens. acc. to EN standards.
- The frames are tested and certified for force transfer stability and the self-alignment of the upper loading platen conforming to EN 12390-4 by Utest.
- EN compression testing frames provides the stability needed for accurate and repeatable test results over the years of operation.
- The frames are supplied with factory calibration certificate for force transfer stability and the self-alignment of the upper loading platen conforming to EN 12390-4.
- Any hydraulic power pack with control and read out unit and a pressure transducer for measuring the loads, can be positioned on the right-hand side of the load frame for easier accessibility, increased productivity and for safer operations.
- All frames have a single acting up stroking ram and also have front and rear protective doors and limit switch for piston stroke for safety. The diameter of the piston is designed to work with the load capacity.
- There is a low friction coaxial PTFE seal between the cylinder and the piston fitted to the cylinder.
- The lower loading platens are provided with concentric centring lines and fixture for centring specimens
- UTC-4682 Pedestal that is made of steel to facilitate the user’s placement of specimens in the frames for compression test should be ordered separately.
- See the below table for supplied items with the frames.
