Description

70-S12Z00

Combined 500/1000 kN frame, 500 kN for tensile testing on steel rebars up to 26mm diameter and 1000 kN for compression testing on concrete.
Comprehends presuure transducer, tensile jaws with wedges grips and 150 mm travel displacement transducer allowing test execution under crosshead separation control to EN EN ISO 6892-1 (method B) and EN 15630-1, when connected to our AUTOMAX Multitest control console.

70-S12Z10

500kN tensile frame with double effect piston (to be used in tensile mode only) for tensile testing on steel rebars up to 26mm diameter.

Comprehends high accuracy load cell, tensile jaws with wedges grips and 150 mm travel displacement transducer allowing test execution under crosshead separation control to EN EN ISO 6892-1 (method B) and EN 15630-1, when connected to our AUTOMAX Multitest control console.

This frame is meant to be connected to an existing AUTOMAX Multitest control console in order to have a unique system suitable to perform both concrete and steel testing.

It is suitable to perform tension tests on steel rebars up to 26 mm dia. and compression tests on cylindrical concrete specimens up to dia. 160×320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm, using the appropriate accessories.

The frame consists of a very rigid structure with double acting cylinder assembly.
It is supplied complete with a set of tensile holders, 4 wedge grips for flats up to 13 mm thickness, 4 wedge grips for rounds up to 26 mm dia. and 2 sets of grip liners 4 and 8 mm thick.
Furthermore it is fitted with a 150 mm travel high precision displacement transducer allow­ing test execution under cross­head separation control. See Technical Specifications.

Spherical seat and compression platens for concrete specimens are not included and have to be ordered separately (see Accessories).

It is also available a version for tensile tests only fitted with high accuracy load cell.

COMPRESSION ACCESSORIES (for model 70-S12Z00 only)

70-S0012/1  
Set of lower platen and upper platen with spherical seat, 216 mm dia., for testing cylinders up to dia. 160×320 mm and cubes from 100 to 150 mm. To be completed with the suitable distance pieces depending on the specimen height.
Weight approx.: 45 kg

Distance pieces
Made of steel, these pieces are used to reduce the vertical clearance of the compression machine to a height that is appropriate for the size of the specimen and considering that, in general, the maximum piston travel is 150mm.
