Description:
Flexural tests concrete beam have their own importance in concrete road constructions as well as Building constructions.
Normally concrete beams of sizes 10cm x 10cm x 50cm or 15cm x 15cm x 70cm are tested for flexural strength.
Specification:
The machine consists of a hand operated load frame. The lower platen has two rollers, the distance between the rollers is 600mm, white it is 40mm for beams of size 100mm x 500mm.
The upper platen has also a pair or rollers whose distance is adjustable. It is 200mm center to center for 150mm x 150mm x 700mm size beam and 133mm for 100mm x 100mm x 500mm size beam.
A pressure gauge to indicate load is fixed on the load frame. A small pumping unit is attached to the load frame. Total capacity of the machine is 100KN and a 150mm dia. pressure gauge-100KN x 1KN is fitted on the machine.
Since this is a hand operated light weight machine, it is useful for field Laboratory also.
