Want to buy digital cube testing machine for compressive strength test of concrete cube and mortar cube. Then this article will be a very useful guide to you. Here we have provide a complete details on the four types of CTM (Compression Testing Machine) with specifications.
Digital Cube Testing Machine (Price, Types and Specifications)
Digital cube testing machine is a Compression Testing Machine (CTM) which is used to find out the compressive strength of concrete cube or mortar cube. Even it is used to find the compressive strength of bricks and pavement. This machine shows how much load a test specimen (concrete cube or mortar cube) can bear.
Capacities of Digital Compression Testing Machine
The CTM machines are available in following different capacities:
- 1000 KN
- 2000 KN
- 3000 KN
- 5000 KN
Types of Digital Compression Testing Machine
Generally, there are four types of digital compression testing machine are available in the market :
- Digital CTM with manual pace controller,
- Fully automatic CTM,
- Hand operated CTM, and
- Electrically operated CTM.
Manual Cube Testing Machine
Manual cube testing machine is a digital compression testing machine with manual pace controller with following specifications.
- New model of machine are available in market for 1000/2000/3000/5000 KN capacity.
- The pace rate of the machine is manually. controllable from 1 KN/sec to 9 KN/sec.
- The load indicator of the machine will show bar graph to control the pace rate of the machine.
- Direct reading of total applied load in KN.
- Direct reading of compressive strength in N/mm². So, no calculation required.
- Peak hold facility.
- Back light facility to observe the reading even in the dark.
- Automatic internal calibration (without proving ring).
- Overload safety cut out.
- Electrical over load trip facility.
- Password protected calibration to prevent unauthorized manipulation.
- Type of pumping: Electrical
- Least Count: 0.5 KN
- In built memory storage function to save last 10 readings.
Fully Automatic Cube Testing Machine
Features:
- Pace rate automatically controllable from 1 KN/sec to 9 KN/sec.
- Automatic pace rate controlling with the accuracy of 2%.
- Large eye catching display.
- The machine automatically starts the rapid approach; switches to the test speed once the specimen comes into contact with the upper platen; automatically release the pressure upon specimen failure.
- Test execution conforming to EN 12390-4, ASTM C39, AASHTO T22.
- Dual stage pump assuring fast piston approach and precise test execution
- For easy debugging of unexpected malfunctions.
- Load v/s Time graph generating in indicator directly.
- Direct print from the indicator.
- Automatic internal calibration (without proving ring).
- Overload safety cut out Electrical over load trip facility.
- Password protected calibration to prevent unauthorized manipulat.
- Type of pumping: Electrical
- Loading Range: 1000/2000/3000/5000 KN
- Least Count: 0.1 KN
Hand Operated Cube Testing Machine
Features:
- Low cost model.
- Machine Work on the Hydraulic System.
- Suitable for testing of Concrete Cube and Cylinder.
- Useful for mobile concrete laboratory on wheel.
- Stable, easy to use and maintain.
- Mainly for the machine with low capacity (1000 KN).
- A lead screw passes through the top of the frame
- In these load frames "C" channels are used.
- They are welded at the top as well as bottom and with stand high loads.
