Concrete Testing Equirpments

COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINES
ASEW series Compression Testing Machines meets the international Load Measurement Standards including BS : 1610 grade 1.0.ASTM E4,As 2193 Grade A ., BS 1881-115 , IS 516 & IS : 14858 (2000).

The ASEW Series Machines are high capacity machines featuring rigid distortion-resistant load frames designed to meet the demands of testing high-performance concrete in a production testing program where accurate and repeatable test results are required. Compare its frame specifications to those of other manufacturers and judge for yourself which machine will stand up to the long term punishment of testing high performance concrete.

Designed for easier operation and loading of specimens, all load frames feature a wide horizontal opening, large lower platen , bottom-mounted piston with dust shield, heavy duty load frame mounting for easier loading of heavy test specimens, our quick change platen system and steel front and rear safety guard doors. The lower platen is through hardened to 55 HRC or greater for longer service life, plated for corrosion resistance, ground plane and has concentric circles for easier centering of test specimens. A quiet running hydraulic pump is rated for continuous duty, with all of its components and those of the loading control valve manufactured to ISO 9001 international quality standards. The control valve is pressure compensated for a smooth and constant rate of loading.

Available with different load indicating systems, select from a basic budget minded unit or an advanced system that will automatically calculate and display stress test results, store test data, print or transfer to PC all of the test data required for a test report. These Machines feature a space saving design configuration for easy accessibility and safer operation by positioning the operator to the side of the load frame during a test. This is accomplished by mounting the digital indicator on the top of the load frame.

Standard safety features are steel fragment guard doors on both frame openings and a high pressure hydraulic safety valve which prevents the machine from operating beyond its maximum capacity. Optional safety features is an electronic overload protection switch that automatically turns the hydraulic pump off when the machine reaches its maximum capacity.

Concrete is generally mixed by man at site itself. The properties of Concrete depend on the properties of its ingredients and their proportion , and it varies from mix to mix. Therefore the test must be conducted to ensure that the concrete used is in accordance with design specifications. A frequent test is the test of Compressive strength , in which concrete samples are tested to failure.

The Machines are designed with extreme simplicity which makes even a non technical personnel to operate with ease. The Machines are designed with extreme simplicity which makes even a non technical personnel to operate with ease. The Machines are made portable for quality control testing in areas where commercial testing are not available. The Machines are calibrated with an accuracy of +- 1 % as per the standards requirement. The Machines are available in various capacities from 50 KN to 5000 KN .

Optional test platens and spacer sets are available for testing a wide range of specimen types, all meeting ASTM and AASHTO specifications.

Machines meet ASTM C-39, E-4 and AASHTO T-22 specifications.

Analogue, digital as well as Computerized models are available.
