  Concrete Compression Tester Accessories

2" (50mm) Cube Platen Sets Used for testing 2" (50mm) cubes and 3" (76mm) diameter cylinders or cores. Platen surfaces are ground and hardened. Set consists of a spherically seated upper compression platen and a lower pedestal. Meets ASTM C109, BS812, BS1881. 6" (152mm) Cube Platen Set Used for testing 6" (152mm) concrete cubes. Set consists of a spherically seated upper platen/spacer assembly and lower platen. Platen surfaces are ground and hardened. Meets ASTM C39. Masonry Block Platens Used for testing concrete block and other masonry products up to 12" (305mm) wide. The spherical disk is precision machined to assure that the maximum amount of contact surface is used for stability under load pressure. The load bearing plate is connected to the main body by four bolts that allow for adjustment compensation for out of parallel test specimens. Meets ASTM C140, E447. Block Platen Carrier Brackets Enables user to easily install and remove heavy upper block platen without lifting. Flexural Beam Test Set Used for either center or third point beam tests for modulus of rupture determinations. The upper head assembly has drilled and tapped mounting holes for the adjustment of the bearing blocks for center or third point testing configurations. Meets ASTM C78, C293. Machine Mounting Stands Used to raise the height of the compression machine to a more convenient height for sample placement. Please note that machine stands are supplied as standard on all machines that have a separate control console.
