OUT OF PRODUCTION.
This machine of compact design, is utilized to carry out tensile tests on steel reinforced bars from diameter 4 to 26 mm and flat max. 25x15 mm.
Horizontal and vertical daylights are now increased for easier specimen handling. It can also carry out compression tests on concrete cube specimens
max. side 150 mm and cylinders max. diameter 160x320 mm.
The new and sturdier four columns loading frame is overdimensioned to assure high rigidity and stability. The loading piston, double action, is rectified
and lapped. The piston is foreseen of an hydraulic maximum and minimum piston stroke’s security device, by avoiding any damage risk due to wrong manipulations of the unit. An hydraulic selector allows to select the tensile or the compression test. The heads holding the jaws are obtained from only one block of high resistance steel. The “V” autoclamping form allows a quick and practical churking of the specimen and the grips locking system ensures safe bar handling after failure. The machine is supplied complete with pair of jaw-holders, but without hardened jaws and accessories for tensile and compression tests, which must be ordered separately (see accessories).
