The machine is mainly used to
conduct
tensile strength examination of
cement. The
tensile testing method allows tensile strength determination of a
hydraulic cement mortar by casting and testing cement briquette
specimens.
Types
Cement tensile testing machines are mainly of two types depending on
their mode of operation :
- Hand operated Tensile Strength Tester
- Electrically operated Tensile Strength Tester
Salient Features
- The hand operated cement tensile testing machine has automatic
loading system by lead shots.
- The machine is suitable for tensile test of cement up to 540 kg.
- The equipment is provided with a Brass briquette mould with base
plate and lead shots.
- The hand operated machine is also supplied with two calibrated
scales.
- Electrically operated tensile tester uses an accurate, friction
free, double lever loading system. The load is applied by means of
sliding weight on the top lever.
- The capacity of the unit is 900 kilograms.
- Provided with a micro-switch, which stops the machine immediately
on failure of the briquette.
- The equipment can be used for subsequent tests only after the
sliding weight is adjusted to its zero position.
- The machine is suitable for operation on 230 volts, 50 cycles,
single phase A.C. supply.
Applications
