Standards: EN 1338, 1339, 1340, 12390-5, 12390-6, BS 1881, ASTM C78, C293, C496
The HİRA Semi-Automatic (Motorized) range of 100 kN, 200 kN, 300 kN and 400 kNcapacity Flexural Testing Machines have been designed for reliable and consistent testing of flexural test on standard concrete beams, concrete or natural stone kerbs, concrete paving flags, and natural stone slabs and tensile splitting test of concrete paving blocks with suitable apparatus.
The Semi-Automatic Flexural Testing Machines consist of;
Heavy Duty Welded Load Frame,
Semi-Automatic Hydraulic Power Pack,
Digital Readout Unit
Flexural test assemblies should be ordered separately.
Flexural Load Frame
The multipurpose HİRA Flexural Testing Frames are designed for minimum deflection at maximum load resulting in very high accuracy. The load frame is a welded steel fabrication carrying the ram fitted to the steel base. All Frames have a single acting up stroking ram with over travel switch protection to stop the machine when maximum ram travel is reached. A load cell is used for load measurements on all frames.
Flexural Frames are designed to accept all accessories required for flexural or compression tests.
Flexural Frames are 100 kN, 200 kN, 300 kN capacity U Type and 300 kN, 400 kN capacity C Type open structure designed to allow easy and practical front loading of the specimen.
The very rigid C type design is ideal either for conventional flexural test or for more sophisticated tests such as deformability and ductility index.
The load frame provides the stability needed for accurate and repeatable test results over the years of operation.
All frames can be connected to HİRA compression machine as a second frame or can be used with any HİRA power pack as an independent Flexural Machine.
The main characteristics are:
• High stability welded assembly
• High accuracy load measurement with load cells
• Can accept wide range of accessories for mentioned standards
• Can be connected to HİRA Compression Machine or Hydraulic Power Pack
