Measurement of Beam Deflection and Toughness

The Measurement of Beam Deflection and Toughness test is performed to assess the flexural performance and the residual resistance characteristics of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and shortcrete.

This test has to be performed with a suitable flexural frame having proper stiffness and capacity as, for instance, our models 50-C15xx/FR or 50-C17xx/FR, and a control console capable of applying load in displacement control as our model MCC or Automax Ultimate.

The complete set includes a frame suitable for proper positioning of transducers on the beam specimen, two high precision displacement transducers and an electric mean device (not required for Automax Ultimate control console).

Mean device P0331/2 (see Accessories) shall be used with MCC control console only. See Technical Specifications.

Configuration required to comply with ASTM C1609:

50-C1500/5
Auxiliary testing frame for the measurement of deflection of beams

82-P0331/C High accuracy displacement transducer 10mm travel (2 PCS needed)

82-P0331/2 Electric mean device for displacement transducer 82-P0331/C (Note: not required for Automax Ultimate control console)
