1. EN 12390-3: European standard for testing hardened concrete's compression strength. It covers how to prepare and test concrete samples to measure their ability to withstand compression forces. This includes steps like specimen preparation, curing, and using compression testing machines.
2. EN 772-1: Part of the EN 772 series, this standard focuses on testing the compression strength of masonry units like bricks and blocks. It provides guidelines for conducting compression tests on individual units to evaluate their load-bearing capacity and structural performance.
3. EN 12390-5: Another part of the EN 12390 series, this standard outlines the procedure for testing the flexural strength of hardened concrete. It explains how to prepare and test concrete beams or prismatic specimens to measure their ability to resist bending forces.
4. EN 12390-6: This standard, also part of the EN 12390 series, details how to test the compression strength of concrete specimens cured in conditions simulating real-world scenarios. It provides guidelines for testing concrete cured in water tanks to mimic conditions encountered in construction projects.
5. ASTM C39: American standard for testing the compression strength of cylindrical concrete specimens. It describes how to prepare, cure, and test concrete cylinders using compression testing machines. Widely used for quality control and acceptance testing of concrete.
6. ASTM C293: ASTM standard for testing the flexural strength of concrete beams using a third-point loading method. It provides guidelines for determining the ability of concrete beams to withstand bending forces by applying loads at two points.
7. AASHTO T 22: Standard published by AASHTO for testing the compression strength of cylindrical concrete specimens. It explains how to prepare, cure, and test concrete cylinders to evaluate their strength characteristics, commonly used in highway and transportation projects in the United States.

Test Procedre of Digimatic Compression Machine 2000kN:

1. Preparation: Cast cylindrical concrete specimens according to applicable standards and ensure proper curing.
2. Setup: Configure the Digimatic Compression Machine 2000kN to the required testing parameters, including load rate and target displacement.
3. Loading: Place the concrete specimen onto the compression platen of the machine, ensuring it is centered and aligned correctly.
4. Testing: Initiate the compression test using the machine's digital interface, gradually applying a compressive force until the specimen fails or reaches the desired endpoint.
5. Data Acquisition: Continuously monitor and record load and displacement data throughout the test process using the machine's digital display and data logging features.
6. Completion: Conclude the test once the specimen fails or meets the predetermined endpoint criteria, then carefully release the load and remove the specimen from the machine.
7. Analysis: Analyze the collected data to determine the compressive strength and other relevant mechanical properties of the concrete specimen.
8. Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance tasks on the Digimatic Compression Machine 2000kN as per manufacturer recommendations to ensure its continued accuracy and reliability for future testing.
