CIVIL LAB EQUIPMENTS

The loading frame has a fully welded construction with a top crosshead, base and solid side walls with the precision ground hydraulic piston fixed to the base. The machine’s platens come with a self- aligning action and suitably sized spacers to accommodate a variety of specimen sizes. The two speed pump allows fast approach of platens, for daylight closure and also allows automatic, precise control over the load application; a pace rate on the display gives operator feedback on the loading rate, peak load and stress. The calibration range of the machine is from 10% to 100% of the machine capacity, over which range the accuracy is ± 1% of the applied load
