ASTM & AASHTO  compression testing frames for cylinders consist of a rigid welded steel walls, a loading cylinder assembly  and lower and upper (spherically-seated) bearing  platens.

The frames provide the stability needed for accurate and repeatable test results over the years of operation.

Any hydraulic power pack with control and read out unit and a pressure transducer for measuring the loads, can be  positioned on the right hand side of the load frame for easier accessibility, increased productivity and for safer operations.

All frames have a single acting up stroking ram and also have front and rear protective doors and limit swich for piston stroke for safety. The diameter of the pistons are designed to work with the load capacity. The lower bearing  platens are provided with concentric centering line/s

UTC-4680A or UTC-4682A Pedestals  that are made of steel to facilitate  the user’s  placement of specimens in the machines for compression test should be ordered separately.

See the below tables for supplied items with the frames
