Concrete Flexural Strength Testing Machine

Gilson compression testing machines are the stiffest in the industry and meet or exceed astm c39 requirements and aci 368 recommendations for rigidity.

Concrete flexural strength testing machine.

As modulus of rupture in mpa the flexural strength is expressed and by standard test methods astm c78 third point loading or astm c293 center point loading it is determined. Forney flexural beam testers are the most versatile machines in the industry. Manual or vfd automatic control. Temperature changes ground vibrations cyclic loading of road pavements and many other external influences will set up internal stresses within a concrete member.

With a span length at least three times the depth flexural strength of concrete is measured by loading 6 x 6 inch 150 x 150mm concrete beams. Spares kits for flexural machines. In the lab or the field. Their design provides maximum rigidity throughout their working range as the downward movement of the piston applies load.

Double upper bearer for third point test and center. Flexural test device for concrete beams. 370 mm when adjusted for 150 mm beams and 320 mm for 100 mm beams. Backed by the best technical support team in the industry.

The flexural and transverse strength of concrete is of interest to engineers for many reasons. Modern concrete technology utilises a wide range of materials such as glass or steel fibres to improve the flexural strength of the concrete. The 370 mm vertical daylight can easily obtained removing the lower platen of the compression tester. Movement of strucutres which may be induced by e g.

Test for beam flexure or strength in materials with failure below 30 000 lbf.
