Compliance Standards
- EN 196-1, BS EN 13888-2, IS 17190
Applications
- To determine the compressive strength of the cement mortar grout
Construction details
- Designed to test portions of 40x40x160 prisms broken in flexure
- Robust frame fitted with an upper platen (incorporated within the lower platen) with spherical seat that moves vertically sustained by a spring.
- The upper platen receives the load from compression testing machine through an intermediate spherical seating.
- The apparatus has to be placed and centered directly on the lower machine platen of a CTM. The total height is 195 mm.
- Vertical clearance of the compression machine can be adjusted using suitable distance pieces accordingly.
Note
- An operator shall use the CTM of suitable capacity to get the correct results.
