FLEXURE TESTING MACHINE AZA1135

The Azalab Flexure Testing Machine (AZA1135) is purpose-built to measure the flexural (bending) strength of concrete beams with high precision and structural stability.

Manufactured in accordance with IS:516, BS 1881, and ASTM C78, this machine offers accurate and repeatable results for construction laboratories, quality control units, R&D centers, and cement industry test facilities.

Its compact, rugged steel frame provides exceptional rigidity while remaining portable enough for site laboratories. The unit uses a double-acting hydraulic pump paired with a retraction spring to ensure smooth piston movement and automatic return after loading.

Load application occurs through the downward movement of the hydraulic piston, and measurements are read through a bourdon tube type fully calibrated dial gauge. Calibration is performed using an NCCBM-certified proving ring.

The machine features a self-aligning roller assembly with spacers that accommodate different beam sizes, ensuring precise and consistent placement before testing.
