About Digital Flexure Testing Machine
Specification:
Capacity: 250 kN
The Digital Flexure Testing Machine is designed to test flexural strength of concrete beams. The design provide maximum rigidity throughout their working range. The load is applied by the downward movement of the piston.
A spacer is for testing different size of beams. The load is indicated on a calibrated digital load indicator of range: 0 - 100 kN x 0.1 kN (0- 10,000 kgf x 10 kgf). The digital load indicator is calibrated by Certified Proving Ring / Load Cells.
Features:
- Light weight, rugged high strength frame
- Double action hydraulic pump
- Self-aligning roller assembly
- Hydraulic jack provided with retraction spring
- For testing beams of 100 x 100 x 500mm and 150 x 150 x 700mm
Note: Compression platen for compression test should be ordered separately.
