Analogue Compression Machine 2000kN

Analogue Compression Machine is used to determine the compressive strength of concrete by gradually and uniformly applying specific compressive to a concrete sample until it fails, crushing, or cracking. The force and deformation results are displayed using analog gauges which require manual recording.

While digital compression testing machines are becoming more common due to their precision and ease of use, analogue compression machines are more cost savings and used in some settings where digital equipment may not be available or where there's a preference for analogue readings. The result will be displayed using analog gauges which require manual recording.

Newly upgraded model with a brand new outlook. Old AC motor replaced by new imported DC motor for more durability, low noise pollution, low oil temperature & low power consumption.

Features of Analogue Compression Machine 2000kN 

• Energy saving: The machine is designed to consume minimal energy during operation. This feature ensures efficient use of power resources, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
• Less vibration & noise: The machine is engineered to minimize vibration and noise levels during testing. This ensures a stable testing environment, which is crucial for accurate and consistent results. Reduced vibration and noise also contribute to a more comfortable working environment for operators.
• Simple operation system: The testing machine is equipped with a user-friendly interface and controls, making it easy for operators to set up and conduct tests. The simplicity of the operation system enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors during testing procedures.
• Piston travel switch: This feature involves a switch mechanism that detects the travel or movement of the piston within the testing machine. It serves as a safety measure and helps control the compression process by signaling when the piston has reached a predetermined position or when the test is complete. This ensures precise control over the testing procedure and helps prevent damage to the machine or test specimens.

Additional Features of Analogue Compression Machine 2000kN 

• Upgraded fully covered safety enclosure: This feature entails a protective enclosure that fully covers the testing area of the machine. The enclosure enhances safety by preventing operators from coming into direct contact with moving parts or hazardous materials during testing. It also helps contain debris or fragments in case of specimen failure, reducing the risk of injury or damage to surrounding equipment.
• Extended base frame for comfortable operation level: The machine is equipped with an extended base frame that provides a stable and ergonomic platform for operation. This extended base frame ensures that operators can comfortably access and operate the machine at an optimal working height, reducing strain and fatigue during prolonged testing sessions. Additionally, it enhances stability, minimizing the risk of the machine tipping or shifting during operation.
• Load gauge with direct MPa value: This feature involves a load gauge integrated into the machine's interface, displaying the applied force in megapascals (MPa) directly. This direct measurement in MPa provides a straightforward and precise indication of the compressive strength of the material being tested. It eliminates the need for manual conversion of force readings, streamlining the testing process and improving accuracy.

Standard: EN 12390-3, ASTM C39, AASHTO T22

• EN 12390-3: This is a European standard that specifies the method for determining the compressive strength of hardened concrete specimens. It outlines procedures for preparing and testing cylindrical or cubical concrete specimens under specified conditions. EN 12390-3 provides guidance on equipment, specimen preparation, testing procedures, and calculation of results. Compliance with this standard ensures that concrete meets the required strength criteria for various construction applications.
• ASTM C39: Published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), ASTM C39 is a widely recognized standard used in the United States and internationally for determining the compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens. Similar to EN 12390-3, ASTM C39 provides detailed procedures for specimen preparation, testing methods, and calculation of results. It is commonly referenced in construction specifications and quality control procedures to ensure the performance of concrete meets specified requirements.
• AASHTO T22: AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) T22 is a standard test method used in the United States for determining the compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens. It is specifically tailored for applications related to transportation infrastructure, such as highways and bridges. AASHTO T22 outlines procedures similar to ASTM C39 for specimen preparation, testing, and result calculation, ensuring the quality and durability of concrete used in transportation projects.

Test Procedure of Analogue Compression Machine 2000kN 

• Preparation of Specimens: Prepare cylindrical or cubical concrete specimens according to the relevant standards (e.g., EN 12390-3, ASTM C39, AASHTO T22). Follow specific guidelines for mixing, casting, curing, and demolding specimens to ensure consistency and quality.
• Machine Setup: Verify that the testing machine is calibrated and in proper working condition. Ensure that all safety features are functional, including the safety enclosure and emergency stop mechanism. Install the appropriate testing accessories, such as platens or fixtures, based on the specimen size and shape.
• Specimen Loading: Place the prepared specimen on the lower platen of the testing machine. Align the specimen centrally with the loading axis to ensure uniform distribution of force. Apply a thin layer of lubricant between the specimen and platens to minimize friction during testing.
• Testing Procedure: Gradually apply compressive force to the specimen using the machine's hydraulic or mechanical system. Record the applied force (load) and corresponding deformation (displacement) at regular intervals. Continue applying force until the specimen fails or reaches the desired maximum load, as specified by the testing standard or project requirements. Monitor the test closely for any signs of instability, such as excessive deflection or cracking.
• Data Collection: Record the maximum load sustained by the specimen before failure. Measure the dimensions of the specimen (diameter and height for cylinders, dimensions for cubes) for calculating compressive strength. Optionally, record additional data such as load-displacement curves for further analysis.
• Result Calculation: Calculate the compressive strength of the specimen using the maximum load and dimensions according to the formula specified in the testing standard. Convert load and displacement measurements to the appropriate units (e.g., newtons, millimeters) as needed. 
• Reporting: Document all test parameters, including specimen identification, testing conditions, and results. Prepare a test report summarizing the testing procedure, results, and any observations or deviations from the standard procedure. Ensure that the test report complies with relevant standards and project specifications.
