Compression and Flexural Testing Machine 300kN/100kN, Digimatic

Compression and Flexural Testing Machine, Digimatic is a combination of compression and flexural test machines to measure the resistance to compression and bending (flexure) of cement and mortar by applying controlled forces to specimens.

The purpose of these tests is to determine which material parameters are best for construction like strength, elasticity, and deformation characteristics, which ensure the safety and durability of materials in various applications ranging from construction and manufacturing to research and development.

This machine consists of a simple and practical frame design for testing concrete beams and with an additional optional device for testing mortar specimens, two prestress column designs including a pressure transducer, loading rate control knob, and digimatic control unit.

Standard

1. EN 12390-5: This European standard specifies the method for the determination of the flexural strength of hardened concrete specimens. It outlines the procedure for testing concrete beams under third-point loading, where a load is applied at two points while the specimen is supported at its midpoint. The standard guides specimen preparation, testing equipment, loading procedures, calculation of flexural strength, and reporting of results.

2. EN 196-1: This European standard specifies the method for the determination of compressive strength of cement mortar. It provides detailed procedures for preparing mortar specimens, curing conditions, testing equipment, and the testing procedure itself. The standard also includes guidance on calculating and expressing the compressive strength of mortar based on the test results.

3. ASTM C 39: This ASTM standard outlines the procedure for determining the compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens. It provides detailed instructions for preparing and testing cylindrical concrete specimens under axial compression. The standard covers specimen preparation, curing conditions, testing equipment, testing procedure, calculation of compressive strength, and reporting of results.

4. ASTM C 109: This ASTM standard specifies the method for determining the compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars, using prisms or cubes as test specimens. It provides procedures for specimen preparation, curing conditions, testing equipment, loading procedures, calculation of compressive strength, and reporting of results. This standard is widely used for testing cement mortar specimens in construction and research applications.

5. ASTM C348/AASHTO T22: ASTM C348 and AASHTO T22 are equivalent standards that specify the method for determining the flexural strength of concrete using a simple beam with third-point loading. These standards provide detailed procedures for preparing and testing concrete beam specimens, including specimen dimensions, curing conditions, testing equipment, loading procedure, calculation of flexural strength, and reporting of results. They are commonly used in construction projects and material testing laboratories to evaluate the flexural strength of concrete.

Test Procedure

1. Preparation of Specimens: Prepare the test specimens according to the relevant standards or specifications. This may involve casting concrete or mortar specimens in molds of specified dimensions and curing them under controlled conditions.

2. Mounting Specimens: Secure the specimens in the loading frame of the testing machine according to the test method being used. Ensure proper alignment and support to prevent any lateral movement during testing.

3. Adjustment of Testing Parameters: Set the testing parameters such as load rate, displacement rate, or strain rate depending on the specific test requirements and standards being followed. These parameters may vary based on the material being tested and the desired test conditions.

4. Initiation of Test: Start the test by applying the specified load or displacement to the specimen using the compression or flexural loading mechanism of the testing machine. Ensure that the loading is applied uniformly and steadily to avoid any sudden shocks or fluctuations.

5. Data Acquisition: Monitor and record the load and displacement or deformation data continuously throughout the test using the built-in sensors or external measurement devices connected to the testing machine. This data will be used to analyze the mechanical behavior of the specimen during testing.

6. Maintenance and Calibration: After completing the test, perform any necessary maintenance tasks on the testing machine and ensure that it is properly calibrated for accurate and reliable performance in future tests. Regular maintenance and calibration are essential to ensure the integrity of test results and the long-term reliability of the testing equipment.
