COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE
VERSATILE UKAS-CALIBRATED STRENGTH TESTER
High-quality,
versatile
compression
testing
machine
with
UKAS-
accredited calibration.
The
CRT-CTM250-II
performs
a
variety
of
compressive
strength
tests,
including Duriez, Indirect Tensile Strength, and Marshall Stability.
Its
rigid
floor-standing
frame
with
bench-height
surface,
twin
columns,
and
adjustable
cross-head
houses
a
hydraulic
cylinder
up
to
200kN.
Cylinder
movement
is
controlled
by
software
using
feedback
from
a
stroke
transducer or load cell, while the operator is protected by a safety enclosure.
Designed
for
precision
and
ease
of
use,
the
CRT-CTM250-II
quickly
adapts
between
Duriez,
Marshall,
and
tensile
tests,
with
integrated
software
for
accurate
data
capture.
Reliable,
safe,
and
modular,
it
is
ideal
for
laboratories
and research facilities requiring consistent high-quality testing.

Software performs compaction, specimen de-moulding and the strength test
•
Real time plots of displacement and force are displayed on screen
•
The rate of loading is accurately closed-loop controlled by the software
•
Displacement and load information are saved to disk during both compaction and the strength test
•
Stored test data can be analysed and compared with other test data utilising a spreadsheet package
•
Utilities are included for transducer check, diagnostic routines and calibration
•
Flexible software with additional options available for non-standard tests
