Specifications

What Is the Compression Testing Machine (Four Pillar Type Load Frame) Hand Cum Electrically Operated Used For?

Being both hand and electrically operated, the machine suits laboratories that want motorised loading for routine cube and cylinder tests but may also need to work the pump by hand. After setting the plate opening with the head screws and fitting the spacer for the specimen type, the operator applies load with the motor-driven pump, adjusting the rate with the slow/fast regulator, or loads it by hand. The highest load reached is held by the maximum load pointer on the gauge and converted to compressive strength using the specimen area; the standards listed for this machine are IS 516 and BS 1881.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity — the number of hand cum electrically operated machines required.
• Range and ram size — a capacity between 50 kN and 3000 kN and the ram diameter to suit it.
• Power supply — whether the motor is for 220 V A.C. single phase or 440 V A.C. 3 phase.
• Optional gauges — any extra gauges to be fitted, to a maximum of 3 nos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the machine be loaded without the motor?
It is a hand cum electrically operated machine, so load can be applied either by the electric motor and pumping unit in the console or by hand.

What capacities and ram sizes are offered?
Load ranges from 50 kN to 3000 kN are offered, and the ram diameter is varied according to the requirements of the customer.

How is the frame put together?
The steel loading frame has 4 pillars fixed to the base and top plate, with the upper and lower plates adjusted by a head screw on either side of the pillar.

How is the load indicated and controlled?
A 20 cm dia. pressure gauge with a maximum load pointer shows the load, while a slow/fast loading rate regulator on top of the console sets the rate of loading.

Is the machine checked before it is supplied?
The machine is duly calibrated and passed after inspection, and a compression level indicator is provided in the form of a dip stick.

What options are available?
Extra gauges, up to a maximum of 3 nos., can be attached, and the electrical connection can be single phase 220 V A.C. or 3 phase 440 V A.C.
