Automatic 500/1000kN Testing Machines for Steel and Concrete for Steel and Rebars Testing Instrument

The Automatic 500/1000kN Testing Machines for Steel and Concrete have been designed for use, in the field or laboratory to perform tension tests on steel rebars up to 26 mm dia. and compression tests on cylindrical concrete specimens up to dia. 160×320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm, using the appropriate accessories.

Load measurement and data acquisition by the DIGIMAX UTM microprocessor digital display and processing unit.

Frame
The frame consists of a very rigid frame with double acting cylinder assembly.
It includes a set of tensile holders, 4 wedge grips for flats up to thickness of 13 mm, 4 wedge grips for rounds up to 26 mm dia. and 2 sets of grips’ liners 4 and 8 mm thick.
Spherical seat and compression platens for concrete specimens are not included and have to be ordered separately (see Accessories).
High precision displacement transducer, 150mm travel, can be mounted (as accessory) on the piston/cylinder assembly to obtain stress/elongation graph based on the crossheads separation measurement.

AUTOMAX PRO-M Power Control System fitted with superior hydraulics can also perform, in addition to standard failure tests, the Modulus of Elasticity Determinationtests, Characterizations of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) under Displacement-controland tensile tests on steelspecimens.
Easy connection by Ethernet cable to PC using UTS software to obtain the stress/elongation graph and test results complete elaboration conforming to EN Standard. See Accessories

Hydraulic power pump
The power system consists of a dual-stage pump: low pressure/high delivery for fast piston approach and high pressure/low volume for loading. It is optimised to prevent any overheating effects even under intensive use and severe working conditions. A special flow control valve allows the rate of loading to be pre-set conforming to specifications.
