Hydraulic Compression (Cube) Testing Machine

Hydraulic Compression (Cube) Testing Machine, Model EM (H) is designed for the determination, of compressive strength of cement by testing concrete cylinders and concrete cubes. The machine works on hydraulic system, where the pressure is supplied with a hand operated pressure pump which lifts the hydraulic ram for applying load to the concrete cylinder or cube under test kept between the two top and bottom platens. The top platen is attached to a lead screw, which has spherical seating for self alignment and is fitted with a hand wheel for adjustment. The applied load is indicated on the hydraulic gauge, which is marked in 1/tonne division and is fitted with a maximum red pointer, in addition to live pointer. A release valve is provide on the hydraulic pump to release the pressure, when the specimen breaks, The entire system is supported on a stout, and perfectly balanced steel structure, with extra thick steel plates both at the top and bottom. The machine is nicely painted in hammerton spray.
