Four columns prestressed frame machines for production routine tests, designed to be in compliance with the ASTM standards. All the machines are divided by their capability and their load measuring system.
All Italian MATEST concrete pressure testing machines are classified according to their capacity and load measurement system, with electric or manual modes. Load measurement system: Bourdon type instrument, DIGITEC or CYBER-PLUS graphic display unit, AUTOTEC or SERVO-PLUS servo control automatic system available for selection.
The Cyber and Servo Plus models feature sturdy and reliable electronic controllers, as well as a 5.7-inch touchscreen color display. Two USB ports, one SD port, and eight channels are used for pressure sensors (force measurement) or displacement sensors (elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio measurement).
Compression Testing Machine 1300 Kn Capacity
To Test Cylinders Up To Ø 160x320mm And Cubes Up To 150mm Side
• vertical daylight: 336 mm
• Horizontal daylight between columns: 270 mm
• Compression platens Ø 216 mm
• High stiffness and heavy weight 4 columns frame(german-style).
• Calibration accuracy: Class 1
• ram travel 55 mm
Compression Testing Machine 1500 Kn Capacity
Similar to 1300kN, this version improves the bearing capacity while maintaining other parameters. Suitable for cylinders below 160x320mm and cubes below 150mm.
Compression Testing Machine 2000 Kn Capacity
This machine is suitable for cylinders up to 160x320 mm and cubes up to 150 mm side.
Three systems are available with this load capacity, differing from each other by the inner free space in which place the sample. It can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems.
2000 kN Wide Platens：Version of the 2000kN provided with larger platens and a reduced big vertical daylight.It is able to test cylinders up to 280 mm height and cubes up to 200mm side.
2000 kN Block Platens：Another version of the 2000 kN, designed to test bigger samples. The distance between columns is increased, amplifying the space for lodging the samples, replacing cylindrical platens with rectangular ones. Indeed, it is able to test cylinders up to 160x320 mm, cubes up to 300mm side and blocks up to 500x300mm. It can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems.
Compression Testing Machine 3000 Kn Capacity
Suitable for cylinders up to 160x320 mm and cubes up to 200 mm side.It can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems.
3000 kN Block Platens：A modified version of the 3000 kN, provided with a bigger frame. It is characterized by larger space between the columns, increasing the space where samples are lodged. Instead of cylindrical platens, rectangular ones of higher dimension are provided. It is able to test cylinders up to 160x320 mm, cubes up to 300 mm side and blocks up to 500x300 mm.It can be provided with all the MATEST load measuring systems.
Compression Testing Machine 5000 Kn Capacity
These machines are characterized by the high load capacity available, with a vertical daylight of 530 mm, allowing to test cylinders up to 250x500 mm and cubes up to 300 mm.
It can be provided with two load measuring systems: the Cyber-Plus Evolution and the Servo-Plus Evolution. The other systems are not available with this type of machine.
