Concrete is one of the used materials in the construction industry. Several variables contribute to define the quality of the concrete utilized for a structure: workability, consistency, setting time and air content are only few examples. 



Matest proposes a wide range of testing equipment and high stiffness compression machines (manual, semi automatic or automatic) which allow to test concrete cubes, cylinders and blocks and satisfy the EN and other International Standards. Each machine has its own kN capacity and control unit to perform tests on materials with different strength and composition.

These frames are designed to give costumers suitable solutions for several different situations.

One of the important difference between the available frames is the distance between columns and the vertical daylight, both parameters which define the available space for lodging specimens of different dimensions in the machine. Another fundamental feature is the structure of the machine, which can be chosen depending on the needs in terms of machine stifness or practical reason.
