Automatic Compression-Flexural Cement Machine
The new automatic testers which combine high productivity with Energy Saving
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Frames
These machines, featuring a very rigid four columns frame, have been designed for the testing of the cement prism either in compression or in flexure.
Three versions are available:
65-L27C0x, L27C1x
models, double testing chamber, 15/300 kN cap., inbuilt flexural jig for 40x40x160 cement prisms and compression apparatus for portions of 40x40x160 mm prisms broken in flexure.
Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11.
65-L28C0x, L28C1x
models, double testing chamber, 15/300 kN cap., fitted with round platens for testing in compression and flexion cement, mortar, resins and other materials.
Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11, ASTM C109, C348, C349 using the suitable accessories.
65-L18C0x, L18C1x
models, 300 kN cap., fitted with round platens for testing cement, mortar, resins and other materials and other materials. Conforming to EN 196-1, 1015-11, ASTM C109, C349 using the suitable accessories.
All models can be fitted with pressure transducer/s for load measurement (65-L27C0x, 65-L28C0x, 65-L18C0x) or with high accuracy load cell/s (65-L27C1x, 65-L28C1x, 65-L18C1x).
Models fitted with compression platens 165 mm dia. (L28Cxx,L18Cxx) have a vertical span of 200 mm hence can house all standard accessories for cement and mortar testing (see accessories) and furthermore can be used to test other specimens directly on the standard compression platens adjusting, if necessary, the vertical daylight, with the suitable distance pieces (see accessories). Compression platens can be supplied complete with Platen surface hardness certificate. See upgrading options.
Pilot, Automatic power and control system
Dual stage pump, centrifugal for fast approach and multi-piston for loading, DC motor, ES Energy Saving technology to reduce the power consumption and ensure silent operation. For detailed information see Additional information.
Hardware
132,000 points effective resolution, three channels, touch screen graphic display 240×128 pixel, sampling rate 50/sec, large storing capacity on USB pen drive, test data downloadable to PC, Ethernet port, real time management software (optional, see accessories 82-SW/DM DATAMANAGER)
Firmware
Simultaneous display of load-specific load, actual load rate and load/time graph; LAN connection to PC; advanced memory management; multi coefficient calibration.
Recording facility of up to 10 test profiles for each channel including type of test (e.g. compression, flexural, indirect tensile), specimen size and shape, load rate, standard in use and other general information. Each one of the recorded test profile can be recalled automatically to save time
Sbafety features
Includes: Max. pressure valve to avoid machine overloading; piston travel limit switch; emergency stop button; front door and rear transparent fragment guard on request, see Upgrading Options.
