High Stiffness Flexural Frame, 200 kN Cap., DUPLEX
High stiffness flexural frame designed for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials such as Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete. This frame is suitable for testing various kinds of specimens (beams, flagstones, slab).
This high stiffness flexural frame has been designed to have a double testing mode, parallel and orthogonal.
Parallel mode is meant to be used for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete.
These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness (set at 200 kN/mm by the relevant international Standards). Our model fully complies with the Standards thanks to its specific layout which keeps the specimen aligned with the frame crossbeams, making most of its structural rigidity.
Orthogonal mode is meant to be used to test long specimens having more than 650 mm length.
The horizontal daylight accommodates large specimens (slab, flagstones), concrete beams and kerbs long up to 650 mm.
Two models are available, either with pressure transducer or with load cell (recommended for FRC testing) , both fitted with piston travel limit switch and connection kit to separate control console.
Bearers not included. Please see accessories.
Frames includes two rulers, two additional rulers are available on request. Rulers with graduations in inches are available on request.
