FAQs of Compression Testing Machine:
Q: How is the compression testing process performed using this machine?
A: The machine uses a four-pillar, double-acting hydraulic frame to apply controlled force to material samples placed between 225 mm diameter platens. The test speed, ranging from 0.5 to 5 mm/min, is digitally adjustable. Results are displayed on the LCD and stored, ensuring precise load application and measurement.
Q: What are the primary benefits of the digital LCD display and data storage options?
A: The digital LCD display allows for clear, real-time viewing of test results in selectable kN or kgf units. Data can be conveniently stored on onboard memory or exported via USB/RS232, simplifying record-keeping, analysis, and compliance documentation.
Q: When does the machine provide overload protection during testing?
A: Overload protection is automatically activated if the applied load exceeds the machines safety threshold. This, combined with an emergency stop switch and limit switch protection, ensures safety for both the operator and the equipment throughout all testing stages.
Q: Where can this compression testing machine be installed?
A: Designed with a compact footprint (1100 x 500 x 1400 mm), this machine is suitable for installation in industrial laboratories, construction material testing sites, and manufacturing plants. Its robust build allows it to operate reliably in environments from 5C to 50C.
Q: What standards does this machine comply with and why is it important?
A: The machine is designed according to IS:516, BS1881, and ASTM C39/C39M standards, which ensures that test results are recognized internationally for quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and construction safety purposes.
Q: How is calibration handled and documented for this machine?
