Introduction
The testing machines we propose provide the highest possible degree of flexibility when making the correct selection according to the test requirement.
Considering that all the national European specifications are now superseded by the new EN 196 we can outline that there are just two main subdivisions:
A. EN 196-1 models
B. ASTM/C109, C348, C349 models
The difference between the two standards are basically the size of specimens and the specifications for the bearing compression plates and flexural jigs. The EN requires both the flexural or the compression test, the ASTM C348, C349 require the same with a little difference in the flexural jig, and the ASTM C109 the compression test only on 50 mm (2”) mortar cubes. Some versions of our testers can be conveniently used for testing other products and specimens such as bricks, resins, soil cement mixtures, gypsum, rocks, microcores, etc. using the appropriate accessory.
General description of testing frames
These machines, featuring a very rigid two column frame, have been designed for the testing of the cement prism either in compression or in flexure.
We propose four different groups of tester:
DIGIMAX SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODELS
