AZA 1141 COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL TESTING MACHINES SPLITTING TENSILE TEST DEVICE

Description

Compression testing machine, flexural testing machine, and splitting tensile test device are combined in a single robust system for comprehensive strength testing of concrete and similar materials. This integrated machine by AZA-LAB is engineered to perform compression testing, flexural testing, and splitting tensile testing with high precision and reliability in accordance with international standards.

The compression testing machine segment is designed for evaluating the compressive strength of cube and cylinder specimens as per ASTM C39. It applies axial load via hydraulics or servo-controlled actuators to ensure uniform stress distribution across the specimen. The high-strength steel frame reduces deflection and maintains accuracy even under high-capacity loading, ranging from 1000 kN to 3000 kN.

Alongside compression, the flexural testing machine component caters to testing concrete beams for flexural strength, complying with ASTM C78. The setup features a dedicated loading frame with third-point or center-point load application, helping identify the modulus of rupture in standard beam sizes such as 100x100x500 mm.

Adding to the system’s versatility, the splitting tensile test device follows ASTM C496 to determine the indirect tensile strength of cylindrical specimens. This is particularly useful for concrete, which performs poorly under direct tension. The machine uses specially designed fixtures to apply diametral compressive force, causing the specimen to split along its vertical axis.

All test functions operate from a shared control console featuring digital readouts of force, displacement, stress, and failure timing. Higher-end models come with automated data acquisition and PC connectivity for streamlined reporting. Manual control variants are also available for simpler lab environments or field use.

AZA-LAB’s testing system is fabricated from corrosion-resistant steel with precise machining to ensure alignment and consistent performance across test cycles. Interchangeable platens, jigs, and spacers enable fast changeovers between different test setups, increasing lab productivity without occupying extra floor space.

Whether you’re conducting research, quality control, or compliance verification, this compression testing machine with flexural and tensile device ensures all your mechanical testing needs are covered in a single, space-saving unit. Each machine is factory calibrated and shipped with documentation for standard compliance and operational safety.
