Compression Testing Machines

Compression Testing Machines (All Models) Analogue, Digital, Micro Processor Based and Automatic Compression Testing Machines (AIM 302 - AIM 320)

Concrete is a man-made material, essentially mixed at site. The properties of concrete depend on the properties of its ingredients and their proportion and it is likely to  vary from mix to mix. Tests must be conducted, therefore, to ensure that the concrete used is in accordance with design specifications. A frequent test, is the test of compressive strength, in which concrete samples are tested to failure.

Compression Testing Machines :

Aimil Series Compression Testing Machines are the finest of their types available. Their rugged construction and extreme simplicity makes it possible for even non- echnical personnel to operate them with ease and complete dependability. In particular, the portable units, which are small in dimensions, sturdy and light in weight, make quality control testing possible in areas where commercial testing facilities are not available and where the transportation of larger and much heavier machines would be difficult.
Aimil Compression Testing Machines conform to IS: 14858(2000) and calibrated with an accuracy of ± 1% as per the requirement of 1828(Class1) . It can also be supplied as per BS : 1881 and other associated International Standards. These machines are available in 50kN, 100kN, 500kN, 1000kN, 2000kN, 3000kN & 5000kN Capacities.
