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 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-4010 and UTC-4110 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-4010 and UTC-4110 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.
