The UTEST Automatic range of single testing chamber and double testing chamber compression and flexure testing machines have been designed for reliable and consistent testing of mortar samples. These compression and flexure testers are the results of continuous applications and research studies to upgrade the machines with the latest technologies and conform the current standards EN 196-1, 459-2, 1015-11, 13454- 2; ASTM C 109, C348, C349 in terms of its technical properties taking into account client requirements by using suitable accessories. These machines also meet the requirements of CE norms for safety and health of the operator.
Tests can be performed by either on UTC-4930.FPR U-Touch PRO Control Unit or on a computer with using USOFT-4830.FPR Software which is provided free of charge with the machines. The advantages of performing tests on computer with using UTEST Software, such as reporting, graphical output, etc. can be seen in detail at the USOFT-4830.FPR pages. (The UTEST Software for Automatic Compression / Flexure Testing Machines with UTC-4830FPR Hydrolic Power Pack)
Compression and flexture jigs, distance pieces, and also removable transparent front-rear safety doors (should be factory installed) should be ordered separately.
The UTEST automatic cement compression and flexure testing machines allow less experienced operators to perform the tests. Once the machine has been switched on and the specimen is positioned and centered by the help of centering apparatus. The only required operations are;
The UTEST automatic cement compression and flexure testing machines consist of very rigid two column single or double chamber frames ( see table) and UTC-4830FPR automatic hydraulic power pack with U-Touch PRO Control Unit
Main FeaturesU-Touch PRO Control Unit UTC-4930.FPR is designed to perform automatically compression, flexure and splitting tensile strength tests of construction materials such as cement mortar, concrete, masonary units/blocks by controlling the Utest automatic compression / flexure testing machines.
All the operations of U-Touch PRO are controlled from the front panel touch screen display.
U-Touch PRO Control Unit has easy to use menu options. It displays all menu option listings simultaneously, allowing the operator to access the required option in a seemless manner to activate the option or enter a numeric value to set the test parameters. Digital graphic display is able to draw real-time "Load vs. Time", or "Stress vs. Time" graphics
PLEASE see the pages of “U-Touch PRO Control Unit for Automatic Compression/Flexure Testing Machines” for details of the properties.
