The 1300kN is Hand-operated Compression Testing Machine used for testing the concrete square cube and cylinder. It is an ideal material testing equipment for many construction and laboratory testing personnel who may require a strong, manual testing machine.
While there is motorized version of the device, the hand operated one has better control and accuracy that is preferred by laboratories that prefer hand operated models of testing devices. This machine is made to ensure that the tests you conduct adhere to standards of ASTM C39 and AASHTO T22 among others.
These characteristics make this equipment suitable for any professional, whether working as a construction engineer or a laboratory technician to achieve accurate test results.
Key Features of the 1300kN Hand-Operated Compression Testing Machine
The 1300kN Compression Testing Machine (Hand Operated) has the following basic features that make it suitable for use in testing concrete and materials, in and out of laboratory. The machine is very well constructed to allow precise measurements when carrying out some tests.
Testing Capacity and Compatibility
This model is adaptable for a range of testing requirements because it can handle concrete cylinders up to Ø160x320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm on each side. The 1300kN capacity makes sure that the compressive strength of even highly-strength concrete may be adequately examined.
High Stiffness Frame and Gauge Details
With a 4-column frame that is extremely sturdy, the machine remains durable even when subjected to heavy loads. Concrete cubes and cylinders are tested using resistance scales particularly designed for a Ø250 mm gauge that is part of the manually driven mechanism. These characteristics guarantee that customers may get accurate readings at every stage of the examination procedure.
Hand Operation and Accuracy
Different to full automation, this machine will enable the users to manually control the rate of testing with a high degree of accuracy. The gauge is also divided into small divisions of 1300kN (4 kN) to capture fine changes in deformation. This makes the process more reliable and does not require the use of sophisticated electronic equipment.
These key features make the 1300kN hand-operated machine as the right choice for users in the material testing industry.
Applications of 1300Kn compression Machine
This hand operated Compression testing machine 1300kN is preferred by material testing laboratory due to its flexibility and accuracy. Its main use is for determining the compressive strength of concrete cubes and cylinder that is crucial in determining the structural capability of construction materials..
Testing Concrete Cubes and Cylinders
This machine is capable of testing concrete specimens of cylinders upto Ø160mm x 320mm and 150mm cubes to meet international test standards such as ASTM C39, AASHTO T22 and BS 1610. Reinforcing the importance of reliable moderate strength stone test, it is critical in construction to determine whether the materials can take the imposed loads. This machine is useful in finding out if there is any form of concrete quality deficiencies or problems prior to construction.
Construction Material Testing
Besides concrete the machine can be utilized in testing other construction products including bricks and blocks so as to conform to safety and durability standards. It also applies to different fields such as civil engineering, geo technical laboratories, and even quality control department of a large construction conglomerates.
How to Operate the 1300kN Compression Testing Machine
The 1300kN Hand-Operated Compression Testing Machine calls for precision and specific procedures for tests with a view of achieving authentic results. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you effectively operate this machine:
Step-by-Step Guide:
Preparation: Ensure that the concrete cube or cylinder specimen is placed towards the centre of the lower platen. Make sure that the specimen is well positioned so that there would be no distortion in the load bearing during the test
Manual Operation: Pressing on the upper platen with the hand pump use gentle up and down motions with enough force. The manual mechanism provides for control over the rate of application of load and this is very important in considering standards such as ASTM C39
Monitoring the Gauge: Take close attention to the 250 mm gauge, which shows the applied load in divisions of 4kN, or 1300kN. This makes it possible to quantify the specimen's compressive strength precisely.
Recording of Results: After the specimen breaks, note the highest load that was used. The tested material's compressive strength may be determined using this data.
Maintenance and Safety: Make sure the machine is kept up to date and clean at all times. Regular calibration of the gauge is recommended to preserve accuracy. Taking safety measures during operation, such as donning protective gear, is also crucial.
