This machine has been designed for use, in the field or laboratory to perform tension tests on steel rebars up to 26 mm dia. and compression tests on cylindrical concrete specimens up to dia. 160x320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm, using the appropriate accessories. The system includes the power and control system for the automatic execution of compression and tensile tests. 

Frame 

The frame consists of a very rigid frame with double acting cylinder assembly.

High precision displacement transducer, 150mm travel, is mounted on the piston/cylinder assembly to obtain stress/elongation graph based on the crossheads separation measurement.

It includes a set of tensile holders, 4 wedge grips for flats up to thickness of 13 mm, 4  wedge grips for rounds up to 26 mm dia. and 2 sets of grips' liners 4 and 8 mm thick.

Main Features:

Compact design

Heavy duty high-functionality jaws rated for severe prolonged use for testing up to 26 mm dia. rebars 

Ideal for site testing and educational purposes

Possibility to connect a second frame for concrete compression tests 

Affordable testing machine for accurate test execution.
