What Is the Concrete Railway Sleepers and Bearers Static Testing Machine Used For?
Prestressed and reinforced concrete sleepers and bearers carry rail loads in bending, so samples from production are loaded statically at specified sections to check their bending behaviour and the onset of cracking. The sleeper is set on the lower rollers, spaced to suit the test up to 1400 mm, and the ram applies load through the flexural test assembly while the load cell records the force. The frame can be linked to an existing compression machine as a second frame or driven by any power pack as a stand-alone machine. The standards listed are EN 13230-2, EN 13230-3 and EN 13230-4.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of frames required.
- Flexural test assemblies — the assemblies needed for the sleeper or bearer tests, which are ordered separately.
- Drive — whether the frame will be connected to an existing compression machine as a second frame or run with a power pack as an independent machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the load capacity of the frame?
The frame has a capacity of 600 kN and is designed for minimum deflection when the maximum load is applied.
How far apart can the lower rollers be set?
The distance between the lower rollers can be set up to 1400 mm, giving room for sleeper and bearer sections on the flexural assemblies.
Can it be used with an existing compression machine?
Yes. It can be connected to any compression machine as a second frame, or used with any power pack as an independent flexural machine.
How is over travel of the ram prevented?
The double acting ram has a 350 mm piston stroke with a safety limit switch, which shuts the machine down when the maximum ram travel is reached.
Are the flexural test assemblies included?
No. Flexural test assemblies should be ordered separately; the frame is designed to accept all the accessories needed for flexural, transverse or compression tests.
Which standards are listed for the machine?
The standards listed are EN 13230-2, EN 13230-3 and EN 13230-4, and load is measured with a strain gauge load cell on the frame.
