Automatic Cement Compression & Flexural Test Press
The Automatic Cement Compression and Flexural Press is designed for flexural strength and compression testing of 40.1x40x160 mm mortar prisms or for compressive strength testing of 40.1x40 mm sample portions, 50x50 mm, and 70.7 mm mortar cubes.
The Automatic Cement Compression and Flexural Press meets CE standards for operator safety and health. Load measurements are performed using a Load Cell (high-precision load cell).
The Automatic Cement Compression and Flexural Testing Press can be ordered in two different configurations:
A single frame with two columns for compression or flexural tests (the test frame either compression or flexural needs to be defined during order process) or a frame with dual test areas suitable for flexural/compression tests.
The press's upper ball-seat mechanism plate and lower rigid table are manufactured from high-quality, Ø 165 mm hardened steel (greater than HRC 53), and the surface roughness is less than 3,2 µm (micron) to meet the standards.
The Automatic Hydraulic Power Unit consists of a dual-stage pump, pressure transducer, safety valve (to prevent overloads), digital readout and control unit, oil tank, and load cell connection jacks.
Safety features include: Maximum Pressure Valves to prevent overloading, Limit Switch to limit piston travel, Emergency Stop Button, and Software-controlled maximum load limiting.
7″ TFT Touchscreen: The device has 8 calibration reading points. It is equipped with numerous features, including sample dimensions, test speed, channel selection, language selection (English, Turkish), test information, company logo, test results, and the ability to plot real-time "Load/Time" or "Stress/Time" graphs.
The computer software allows for entering sample, company, laboratory, and test values.
Loading time graphs, test reports, and sample reports can be generated.
Automatic Cement Compression and Flexural Testing Presses feature an easy-to-use touchscreen and interface to enable operators to perform tests.
The test preparation steps are as follows:
* Setting test parameters, including speed ratio (via the touchscreen)
* Selecting the compression or flexural frame using the oil-way valve
* Selecting the flexural/compression channel via the touchscreen according to the test to be performed
* Selecting the sample dimensions via the touchscreen
* Pressing the START button on the control unit will automatically start the test; it will run the test and stop after the sample was broken.
