Concrete Block Strength Testing Machine

Methods for testing compressive strength of concrete 1.

Concrete block strength testing machine. Rebound hammer or schmidt hammer astm c805 method. Humboldt s compression machines span a testing range from 30 000 to 500 000 lbs. Hollow and solid concrete blocks. Ele s comprehensive range of concrete compression machines is able to test concrete mortar and cement samples such as cubes cylinders flagstones and beams.

The testing machine shall be wiped cl ean. Concrete strength testing equipment measures compressive or flexural strength of concrete to assure compliance with specifications. Typically concrete cubes are cured and tested in a manual or automatic concrete compression machine at 7 days and 28 days to assess compressive strength. Used to determine the splitting tensile strength of concrete cylinders.

To specifications exceeding current industry standards. The compressive strength testing machine consist of two steel bearing blocks one is in rigid position on which the masonry unit is placed and another one is movable which transmit the load to the masonry unit when applied. All compression frames are built in the u s. Humboldt s concrete compression frames are designed to handle the daily demands of testing concrete cylinders beams blocks and cubes.

Concrete paving blocks are ideal materials on the footpaths for easy laying better look and finish. Equipment includes concrete compression machines and accessories cylinder capping pads end preparation apparatus and capping compound masonry block caps and a portable concrete beam tester. We re your one stop source for concrete air meters compression machines concrete test hammers corrosion testing ultrasonic tests testing for moisture in cured slabs concrete cylinder testing and all related accessories. Humboldt provides a complete selection of concrete testing equipment for fresh and in place concrete structures in accordance with astm aashto and other standards.

Passing ability of self consolidating concrete equipment accessories for consolidation strike off temperature sample handling and initial set determinations. Concrete cylinder end grinders are essential tools for modern concrete labs the concrete cylinder end grinders eliminate the need for sulfur or unbonded capping of concrete strength specimens. Cored units shall also be measured for minimum thickness of face shells and webs. Specimens 20 full size units shall be measured for length width and height.

From these 3 blocks are to be tested for block density 8 blocks for compressive strength 3 blocks for water absorption. If the bearing area of masonry unit is more than the bearing area of steel blocks then separate steel plates are used. 1 flexural strength test on paver.
