Flexural Testing Machine

Flexural Testing Machine: MTCT-115

Although generally not such an important property of concrete than compressive strength, tensile strength values are often important to know when the concrete used free of reinforcement and may be subjected to some tensile force. The test method essentially involves applying a load at the centre of a beam of concrete supported at its ends. The load required to break the specimen is then recorded.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
For 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm beam, the centre distance between the rollers is 600 mm, while it is 400 mm for beams of size 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm.
It is 200 mm centre to centre, for 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm size beam and 133 mm for 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm size beam.
Total capacity of the machine is 100 KN.
150mm dia pressure gauge of 0-100 KN x 1 KN least count to indicate load is fixed on the load frame.
A separate electrically cum hand operated pumping unit housed in a cabinet is supplied.
On/Off switch and a slow/fast lever to control rate of loading are fitted on the front panel of the pumping unit.
