Product Code : EL-CTLE-10921
Digital Compression Testing Machine (Hand Operated) (code EL-CTLE-10921) is a C channel load frame for compression testing in which the applied load is read from a digital indicator mounted on the side of the machine. The indicator works on a single phase electrical supply, while the frame has a centrally fitted hydraulic jack, a grooved lower platen located by a centering pin and a self-aligning upper platen on a lead screw.

What Is the Digital Compression Testing Machine (Hand Operated) Used For?
Concrete strength checks depend on reading the load at failure correctly, and a digital indicator shows that load as a number rather than as a pointer position on a dial. For a test the specimen is centred on the grooved lower platen, the lead screw is lowered until the spherically seated upper platen bears on it, and load is applied through the jack by hand while the indicator displays the rising load. The load at failure is noted and divided by the loaded area of the specimen to give its compressive strength, and the standards listed for it are IS 516 and BS 1881.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the load read on this machine?
A digital indicator fitted to the side of the machine displays the load, and the indicator is electrically operated on a single phase supply.
What kind of load frame does it use?
The frame is built from C channels welded at the top and bottom, and a hydraulic jack is mounted at the centre of its base.
How are the platens arranged?
The lower platen, with spacer block, sits over the jack on a centering pin and is grooved for locating specimens; the upper platen hangs from a lead screw on a spherical seat.
What finish do the platens have?
Both platens are machined, hardened and polished, so the specimen is loaded between hard, finished bearing faces.
Which standards are listed?
For this digital hand operated machine, the standards listed are IS 516 and BS 1881.
