High Stiffness Flexural Frame, 350 kN Cap.
Description & Specification
High Stiffness Flexural Frame, 350 kN Cap.

Concrete Testing Equipment
Technical Specifications
Parallel mode is meant to be used for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete.
These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state stiffness limits which are exceeded by this new model (better than 200 kN/mm).
This remarkable result comes from the frame sections but it is also derived from the particular layout which keeps the specimen aligned with the frame crossbeams maximizing structural rigidity.
The horizontal daylight accommodates large specimens (slab, flagstones), concrete beams and kerbs long up to 880 mm.
The frame is fitted with high precision load cell (recommended for FRC testing), with piston travel limit switch and connection kit to the control console.
This high stiffness flexural frame has been designed to have a double testing mode: parallel and orthogonal. Orthogonal mode is meant to be used to test long specimens having more than 880mm length.
Main Features:
High rigidity (200 kN/mm), especially suitable for testing FRC and sprayed concrete
Max span between lower rollers: 1.5m
Load measurement by high precision load cell
Piston return by counterweights
Piston travel limit switch included
Double testing mode: parallel and orthogonal
Suitable for testing Round panel dia.800 mm
For testing different kind of specimens (beams, flagstones, slab).
