GENERAL Purpose Testing Frames for Cubes and Cylinders

General purpose testing frames for cubes and cylinders consist of a rigid welded steel walls, a loading cylinder assembly and Ø 216 mm or Ø 300 mm a lower and an upper (spherically-seated) loading platens by taking into account user requests for general purposes.

The frames have a 380 mm vertical clearance that make possible to perform compression test of cylinders with capping retainers and neopren pads.

The General Purpose compression testing frames provides the stability needed for accurate and repeatable test results over the years of operation.

Any hydraulic power pack with control and read out unit and a pressure transducer for measuring the loads, can be positioned on the right hand side of the load frames for easier accessibility, increased productivity and for safer operations.

All frames also have front and rear protective doors and limit swich for piston stroke for safety,

UTC-4680 and UTC-4682 Pedestals that are made of steel to facilitate the user’s placement of specimens in the frames for compression test should be ordered separately.

See the below tables for supplied items with the frames.
