KE Compression Testing Machine

About KE Compression Testing Machine

The Compression testing machine is used to determine the compressive strength of a concrete cube, which has usually been made from fresh concrete cast in a standard test mold. The value of compressive strength can then be used to assess whether the batch that the concrete cube represents meets the required compressive strength. Compression testing machine electrically operated Capacity 2000 KN Least count 1 kn Measuring range 0-2000 kN Load. Loading Unit: The hydraulic jack of 2000 KN capacity us fixed to base. The upper platen has got a self-aligning action and is attached to a screw which passes through the cross head and can be raised or lowered for initial clearance adjustment, The lower platen rest on the jack ram and is positioned with the help of a cantering pin. Loading is accomplished by the upward movement of the lower platen. Pumping Unit: The motorized pumping unit which is housed in an elegant console is of double plunger type and is driven by 3 phase 440 volt 50 cycles electric motor. The pumping unit is separate unit connected to the hack by means of a steel connecting tube. A junction box is suitably fixed to connect the motor to the main through a push bottom starter.
