General Description

These load frames are extremely stiff, rugged and oversized to ensured the required high rigidity and stability.The upper head holds the precision lapped ball-seating and the compression platen.Compression platens are surface hardened HRC 60 and ground. Design emphasis has been placed on simplicity of construction and operation, so that our machines are durable, easy to use and maintain, and designed for heavy continued use.The M-Line compression testers are designed to conform to International Specifications such as: ASTM, AASHTO, EN, BS, NF, DIN, UNI, UNE, and are available in 1200 kN, 1500 kN, 2000 kN, 3000 kN, 5000 kN capacities, both hand-operated and motorized, at one or two gauges, with electronic digital display measuring system, and with automatic servocontrolled console with microprocessor.The different versions provide the possibility to test cubes, cylinders, and blocks. All the machines can be equipped with optional safety guards.


Hydraulic System

Piston has large diameter: this allows the hydraulic circuit to work at low pressure with longer life of working components and higher precision in the results.Piston is ground and lapped, and a packing high quality set of three elements is utilized. Motorized models foresee a dial device to visualize, pre-select and control the flow allowing an uniform load rate as requested by Standards.A fast approach ram action device is foreseen to avoid dead times during stroke of the ram.The manual pump is two stage for fast approach ram action and automatic change for test pressure.Power pump is multipiston, assuring continuity of delivery.A movement indicator visualizes instant by instant the piston’s excursion during the compression test.A hopper is foreseen avoiding the powder of the broken specimen to enter into the cylinder of the press damaging the packing set.
