The Qualitest manual cement compression and flexure testing machines consist of very rigid two column single or double chamber frame, manual power pack and data acquisition system LPI.

Manual Power Pack

The Hand Operated (Manual) Power Pack has been designed to be used with range of Qualitest Compression machines & flexural frames to use on site and/or where electricity is not available.

The pump is equipped with a radial piston pump so that the loading is continuous as long as user turns the wheel installed on the pump. The loading is uniform as on an automatic machine. The operator can easily load the machine up to 300 bars.

LPI

The LPI Battery Operated Digital Readout Unit has been designed to use with load cells or pressure transducers on different material test applications.
The unit operates with DC voltage source of -1.5 to 1.5 volts.

• Real time numeric display of load and load rate
• 1 channel with two different calibration table (can be used for 2 sensors)
• Peak hold property
• Multi-point calibration
• Can operate with 2 x AA batteries
• Easy preload zeroing
• Serial port for PC or printer
• 8 keys keyboard

250 KN Semi-Automatic (Motorized) Cement Compression Testing Machine QT- CTM 6321

15/250 KN Semi-Automatic (Motorized) Cement Flexure Compression Testing Machine QT- CTM 6421

Standards:

EN 196-1, 459-2, 1015-11, 13454-2; ASTM C109, C348, C349; BS 3892-1, 4551-1

The Qualitest Semi-Automatic (Motorized) range of single testing chamber and double testing chamber compression and flexure testing machines have been designed for reliable and consistent testing of mortar samples. These compression and flexure testers are the results of continuous applications and research studies to upgrade the machines with the latest technologies and conform with current standards EN 196-1, 459-2, 1015-11, 13454-2; ASTM C 109, C348, C349 and BS 3892-1, 4551-1 in terms of its technical properties taking into account client requirements by using suitable accessories. These testers also meet the requirements of CE norms for safety and health of the operator.

The Qualitest Semi-Automatic cement compression and flexure testing machines allow operators who have minimal experience to perform the tests.

The Qualitest Semi-Automatic cement compression and flexure testing machines consist of a very rigid two column single or double chamber frame, hydraulic power pack and data acquisition system LPI.

The Maximum horizontal clearance for placing the sample is limited by the border of the platens. Sample must be placed such that its ends will not overlap the ends of platens and it must be centered perfectly.

The suitable vertical clearance for the specimen can be adjusted using the distance pieces.

Power Pack

The Motorized (Semi-Automatic) Power Pack, controlled by a pressure rate control valve, is designed to supply the required oil to the load frames for loading. The power pack can load different frames with required pace rates. A rapid approach pump is supplied as standard. The power pack is equipped with a safety valve (maximum pressure valve) to avoid machine overloading.

Dual Stage Pump

• Low pressure gear pump
• High pressure durable variable output pump

On the dual stage pump, high delivery low pressure gear pump is used for rapid approach, while low delivery high pressure durable variable output pump is used for test execution. Rapid approach property of the machine shortens the time interval from the piston starts moving until the upper platen touches to the specimen and helps to save a great amount of time in case of numerous specimens are going to be tested.

The Qualitest automatic cement compression and flexure testing machines allow less experienced operators to perform the tests.

Once the machine has been switched on and the specimen is positioned and centered by the help of centering apparatus. The only required operations are;

• Setting test parameters, including pace rate (only required when the specimen type is changed.)
• Choosing the compression or flexure frame by using the changeover valve.
• Pressing the START button on the control unit.
• The machine automatically starts the rapid approach; switches the test speed after 1% of the load capacity of the machine and stops once the specimen failure.
• Automatically saves the test parameters and test results.
