- Universal tensile/compression machine, motorised, measuring system with fully automatic touch screen control.
- This compact machine, is used to carry out tensile tests on steel reinforced bars from 6mm to 25mm diameter and flat bars up to 25mm x 15mm maximum size.
- It can also be used to carry out compression tests on concrete cubes up to 150mm and cylinders up to a maximum of 160mm x 320mm.
- The four-column load frame assures high rigidity and stability.
- The double action loading piston is rectified and lapped.
- The piston is protected by a hydraulic maximum and minimum piston stroke’s security device, to avoiding the risk of damage due to misuse.
- A hydraulic selector allows the user to select either the tensile or the compression test.
- The heads holding the jaws are machined from a single block of high tungsten steel and the jaws are hardened to over 65 HRC. The “V” auto-clamping form allows quick and practical positioning of the specimen.
- The machine is supplied complete with a pair of jaw-holders, but without accessories for tensile and compression tests,
Accessories must be purchased separately
