Manual Compression Testing Machine
PCTE offers 600 kN and 1500 kN capacity Manual Compression Testing Machines. They are produced to perform reliable compression tests on concrete specimens especially suitable for on-site applications when an electric power supply is unavailable.
Being a cheaper alternative, the UTEST-made manual testing series incorporates the exclusive design of the manual power pack, with precision and simplicity. It is hand operated and allows even an inexperienced operator to complete excellent compression and flexural* tests on-site.
The UTC-4602.MLP and UTC-4713G.MLP are supplied in Class 1 starting from 10% of the full range as per the ASTM C-39 standard. With their remarkable performance, the UTC-4602.MLP and UTC-4713G.MLP are a reliable and practical solution for remote site locations where electrical power is unreliable, or non-existent. The compression machines consist of a heavy-duty welded frame, hydraulic power pack and data acquisition system LPI.
*Requiring separate compression frame or adaptor.
