FLEXURAL FRAME 100 KN AZA1137
The Azalab AZA1137 Flexural Frame 100 kN is a precision-engineered apparatus used to determine the flexural (bending) strength of concrete beams, tiles, slabs, and paving blocks. Designed for reliability and consistent test results, this frame is used widely in construction testing labs, infrastructure QA/QC facilities, R&D institutions, and universities.
Built with a rigid steel structure—either a two-column or four-column configuration—the frame minimizes deflection under maximum load, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable results. With a capacity of 100 kN (10 tons), it accommodates standard concrete beam sizes such as 100×100×500 mm and 150×150×700 mm, along with various tile or slab formats.
The frame integrates a high-accuracy load cell with a digital indicator or PC-connected data acquisition system. Test force is delivered through a hydraulic power pack (manual or servo-controlled), allowing smooth, controlled application of load.
