Designed to test concrete sewer and drain pipes used in drainage works, water supply systems, irrigation systems etc.

Compression tests can also be performed on cylindrical pipes with sockets, provided that you specify, at time of request, the shape and dimensions of above sockets to verify the compatibility with the loading bearers. Suitable for testing round shaped pipes, cylindrical barrel shape over the full length without sockets. 

The difference between the two models concerns, mainly, the lower supports and the upper bearing beam. The machines do not include the elastomeric bearing strips or similar which have to be provided on site.

Hydraulic Ram Assembly

Consists of an alloy steel cylinder, of a piston tempered and ground, and hydraulic hoses and spherical seat.

Frame

The frame is made of structural steel and is bolted together with high strength bolts so it can be easily assembled and disassembled either for delivery or for movement from one site to another.

The two upper crossbeams are raised and lowered by a motor operated winch. The upper crossbeam is then locked in position by locking pins inserted through the columns.

Control Unit

Acquisition of both load and displacement readings

Multi test control console suitable to keep the load constant as required by the Standard 

Full PC control.
