Matest flexural testing machines provide versatile solutions for concrete testing, accommodating specimens of different dimensions and configurations. The main differences between frames are the distance between columns and the maximum vertical daylight, which define the space available for lodging specimens. The structure of the machine can be selected based on required stiffness or practical laboratory needs.
These machines are available as motorized or hand-operated models and feature gauge load measuring systems. Advanced options include Digitec or Cyber-Plus Progress graphic display units and Autotec or Servo-Plus Progress servo-controlled automatic systems for fully automated testing.
Frames can be stand-alone or combined with another testing frame, offering flexibility for multiple applications. Load can be applied using two-point or centre-point loading, and hardened, rectified rollers with graduated scales ensure easy adjustment and accurate, repeatable measurements.
