The Matest Elastic Modulus Determination system is an automatic solution designed to measure the Young's modulus of concrete with high precision. It can be used with high-stability frames of 2000, 3000, 4000 or 5000 kN capacity, coupled with the Servo-Plus Progress automatic servo-controlled system housed in a separate pyramidal frame.
The system includes a hydraulic installation with a high-performance valve controlled by the digital unit. This allows automatic control of load increase and decrease rates, maintaining a constant load when required.
The electronic measuring system features a 32-bit microprocessor managing up to 8 high-resolution channels for load cells or strain gauge transducers.
The UTMII software enables automatic data acquisition and processing, allowing the determination of both the initial and stabilized secant modulus of elasticity, fully compliant with EN 12390-13 Standard.
To perform the Elastic Modulus test, in combination with an automatic high-stability frame, the following items are required.
