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.

Description:

This unit for finding flexural strength of clay roofing tiles and Cement flooring tiles.  

Flexural load is applied on the tiles using lead shots.

 

Specification:

The machine consists of a stand on which two 40mm dia. bearing rollers or 12mm dia. rollers are placed at centre distance of 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, or 2720mm as the case may be.

 

The third upper roller applies centrally flexural load by means of lever arrangement.

 

Lead shot contained in an upper vessel start flowing into lower container at a rate of 45 to 55 kg per minute of 200kg per minute there by, starting loading the specimen.

 

Arrangement is made such that loading automatically stops when specimen breaks. Supplied without lead shots. 

 

 

This is used for determination of resistance to wear for cement concrete flooring tiles.

 

Specification:

Tile Abrasion Testing Machine specimen of size 7.06cm x 7.06cm is pressed tace-wise under specific load on a grinding path and abrasive powder is evenly spread on the rotating grinding path and after specific number of revolutions of the grinding disc the second parallel side of the tile is subjected to wear for similar number of rotations.

 

The wear of the tile is measured on a thickness gauge specifically made for the purpose. 

The machine consists of a disc rotating at a speed of 30 rpm in a circular tray.

 

A bracket is provided to hold the specimen. A counter balance lever loads the specimen.  

Load applied is 30kgf. A funnel is fitted to evenly spread abrasive powder on the grinding path.

 

This is used for compacting concrete into cube moulds. 

 

Specification:

This rod is made of steel. It is 16mm diameter, 60mm in length and rounded or bullet shaped at one end.
