It is used for testing 40mm x 40mm x 160mm mortal specimens for flexural strength. (Rilem- Cembureau Test) by single pointed loading. 

 

Specifications:

 

It is a motorized, mechanical unit.

The speed is adjusted so that the load increase on the specimen is between4 to 6kg/sec.

A flexure test attachment for keeping the specimen in position is also supplied.

This consists of two rollers 10mm. diameter and spaced 100mm apart, and a third roller of the same diameter equidistant from 10mm. diameter and spaced 100mmapart, and a third roller of the same diameter equidistant from the first two and for transmitting the applied load to the oppositeface of the prism.

The unit is for operation on 230 Volts, single phase, 50 cycles A.C. Supply. Loads are measured on a provingring fitted with a sensitive dial gauge.

Supplied without proving Ring.
