Standards
EN 196-1, 459-2, 1015-11, 13454-2, 13892-2; ASTM C109, C348, C349;BS 4550-3.4
The UTCM-3722 and UTCM-3742, very rigid two column frames have been designed for compression and/or flexure testing of mortar prisms and cubes specimens. Load cells are used on both frames to provide high accuracy in load measuring. Both frames are fitted with round platens with 165 mm diameter and these should be used together with suitable flexure and compression devices.
Distance pieces and transparent front-rear safety doors (should be factory installed)_ should be ordered separately.
Loading Cylinder Assembly & Limit Switch
All frames have a single acting up stroking ram. The diameter of piston changes with regard to the capacity.
The maximum ram stroke is 20 mm, a limit switch is fitted to prevent over travel of the ram which cuts the power to the pump. There is a low friction coaxial bronze seal between the cylinder and the piston fitted to the cylinder.
