Standards
EN 12390-4, EN 12390-3

UTC-6727, UTC-6737, UTC-6748 and UTC-6758 compression testing frames with four column for cubes and cylinders consist of a loading cylinder assembly, lower and upper (spherically-seated) loading platens. acc. to EN standards.

EN four column compression testing frames provides the stability needed for accurate and repeatable test results over the years of operation.

The frames are supplied with factory calibration certificate for force transfer stability and the self-alignment of the upper loading platen conforming to EN 12390-4.

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 their load capacities. There is a low friction coaxial PTFE seal between the cylinder and the piston fitted to the cylinder.

The lower loading platens are provided with centering lines and fixture for centering specimens.

UTC-4684 and UTC-4686  Pedestals that are made of steel to facilitate  the user’s  placement of specimens in the frames for compression test should be ordered separately.

See the below table for supplied items with the frames.
