Compression Testing Machine
(Electrically cum Hand Operated-Three Gauges) CTM-3G
This is a hydraulic, electrically operated unit, designed for
conducting compression tests on concrete specimens up to 20 cm.
Diameter (or width and depth) and 30 cm, in height and also rocks
and various other materials. Cold Crushing Strength (CCS) test is
also possible.
The machine consists of a steel cross head and cast iron base with
two pillars connecting the base and cross head by means of nuts. The
hydraulic jack is fixed to the base. The upper platen has got a self
aligning action and is attached to a screw which passes through the
cross head and can be raised or lowered for initial clearance
adjustment. The lower platen rests on the jack ram and is positioned
with the help of a centering pin.
Loading is accomplished by the upward movement of the with the help
of a centering pin. Loading is accomplished by the upward movement
of the motorized pumping unit is of plunger type and is connected to
the jack by means of a steel connecting tube.
A maximum red pointer is provided to facilitate taking of the
readings after failure of specimens. The pressure gauges of 20 cm
diameter with isolating valves are fixed on the pumping unit at an
angle for easy readability..
The machine is fitted with control which enables the rate of
application of load to be varied. The machine is equipped with
facilities for hand operation as well.
The electrical pumping unit is fitted with three micro switches one
for each pressure gauge and will switch off the machine
automatically as the load on the machine approaches its full
capacity of the gauge in case the isolating valves are not operated.
This will protect the pressure gauges and the whole unit so that in
case of break down of power supply, the machine will stop and will
not restart unless the starting switch is operated.
The machine satisfies the essential specifications of Indian
Standard No. 516-1959. For operation on415 Volts, 3-ph or 230 Volts,
1-ph A.C.
