Standards: IS 516, BS 1881

Specification: In these load frames, "C" channels are used. They are welded at the top as well as the bottom and can withstand high loads. A hydraulic jack is fitted at the centre of the base of the load frame, over which can be fitted the lower platen and spacer block with the help of a centering pin. A lead screw passes through the top of the frame. At the lower end of this lead screw is fixed the upper platen with a spherical seat for self alignment. The plates are accurately machined, hardened, and polished. The lower platen grooves to correctly place the specimen. The ram dia of the machine varies from the requirements of the customer. The lower pattern is at the base of the frame above the ram and it is rectangular in shape. Sufficient clearance is provided between the platens to allow the cylindrical or cube moulds to fit in. A spacer is provided to adjust cubes and cylinders. A 20 cm dia. pressure gauge with a maximum load induction pointer is fitted on the top panel and, in turn, is connected to the hydraulic pressure pipe. On the right hand, a console is fitted within which the electrical motor is fitted along with its coupling, which in turn is connected to the pumping unit. A slow/fast loading rate regulator is fixed on the top of the console for adjusting the rate of loading. The machine is duly calibrated and passed after inspecting and analysing it with a compression level indicator, which is provided as a dip stick.

Note: The platens are normally rectangular in shape, but on special request, square platens or circular platens can be supplied at an extra cost.

Optional:

1. Ranges: 50 kN to 3000 kN
2. Extra gauges can be attached to the machine (max. 3 nos. ), for better accuracy and results.
3. Electrical connection can either be Single Phase on 220 V A.C., or 3 Phase 440 V A.C.
