EN 12390-4 - EN 772-1 Automatic Compression Testing Machines with Welded Walls for Masonary Units, Cubes and Cylinders
UTC-5729.FPR and UTC-5739.FPR models Automatic Compressıon Testıng Machines are manufactured for compression testing of masonary units, cubes and cylinders acc. to EN standards .These machines also meet the requirements of CE norms with respect to the health and safety of the operator.
The machines allow inexperienced operators to perform the test. Once the machine has been switched on and the specimen is positioned and centered by the help of fixtures or/and concentric centering lines of lower loading platen, the only required operations are;
Setting test parameters, including pace rate (only required when the specimen type is changed).
The Machines consist of a welded steel frame (see table) and UTC-4830FPR automatic hydraulic power pack with U-Touch PRO Control Unit.
Main Features
Pace Rate control between 1 kN to 25 kN
Accuracy Class 1 acc. to EN 12390-4 starting from with the 5% of the machine capacity (Special calibration option Class 1 starting from 1% of the full range with UTC-0210)
Supplied with factory calibration certificate for force transfer stability and the self-alignment of the upper loading platen conforming to EN 12390-4
Tests automatically with closed loop control
The tests can be performed by controlling the machine either on U-Touch PRO control unit (UTC-4930.FPR) or on a computer with using free UTEST Software (USOFT-4830.FPR) which is provided free of charge with the machines.
Load measurment with a pressure transducer
Hydraulic pump with dual stage for rapid approach
Welded steel walled frame with a single acting piston
Piston return at the end of test automatically
U-Touch PRO Control Unit
U-Touch PRO Control Unit UTC-4930.FPR is designed to perform automatically compression, flexure and splitting tensile strength tests of construction materials such as concrete, cement mortar, 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
UTEST Software for Automatic Compression / Flexure Testing Machines
UTEST software USOFT-4830.FPR provides to perform automatically compression, flexure and splitting tensile strength tests of construction materials such as concrete, cement mortar, masonary units/blocks by controlling the Utest automatic compression / flexure testing 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 pages of UTEST Software for Automatic Compression / Flexure Testing Machines.
Optional Additional Frame
For compression and especially flexural testing, additionally second testing frame should be ordered separately.
In this case, the machines provide load control of two seperate testing frames with closed-loop P.I.D control with automatic test procedure by using selecting test channel And additional selector valve.
Safety Features
Maximum pressure valves to avoid machine overloading
Limit switch for piston stroke
Emergency stop button
Removable transparent front and rear safety doors
Software controlled maximum load value
