BUILDING LIME, GROUT AND MUD TESTING APPARATUS

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 04:58:07 +0000

Thanks to IMPACT equipment it is possible to test all the physical and chemical characteristics of mortars, cements, slurries and limes.

Air content: porosimeters to determine the amount of air present in the fresh mixture according to ASTM or EN regulations

Lime yield: stainless steel extinguishing vessel with cavity insulated with rock wool

Workability and consistency of mixtures: motorized or manual shafts according to ASTM and EN standards

Stability of cement and lime: chatelier molds and tanks and steam baths to determine the expansion of the sample immersed in cold or boiling water

IMPACT offers a wide range of products that allow you to perform all the operations foreseen for the realization of the mortar specimens, from the mixing of the different components to the draft of the hardened specimens.

For mixing: mixers having different capacities and the possibility of setting automatic cycles, with or without protections, in compliance with international regulations.

For forming specimens: steel molds of different sizes.

For the compaction of the mixture: bedding that thanks to vibrations allow to homogenize the distribution of the aggregates and the powders inside the mixture.

For seasoning: climate cabinets and thermostatic baths

CEMENT COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL DEVICES

These devices, designed specifically for different types of tests, are simple to use because it is sufficient to place them between the compression plates of the machine, without the need to add spacers.

The models meet the requirements of ISO, EN, ASTM, GOST, DIN, BS.

CEMENT COMPRESSION FLEXURAL MACHINE WITH DUAL TESTING CHAMBER

These high-performance models are equipped with two loading chambers with two independent measurement scales. The value of the applied load is detected in real time by two high precision electrical load cells with strain gauge bridge.

These machines, equipped with appropriate accessories, are able to perform:

bending tests on prisms measuring 40.1 x 40 x 160 mm with a 15 kN measurement scale (up to 25 kN on request)
compression tests on portions of prism with dimensions 40.1 x 40 x 160 mm broken in flexion, cubes of side 40, 50, 70, 100 mm and 2 ”, cores with maximum height of 180 mm with the measurement scale to 300 kN

COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL TESTING MACHINES

The wide range of machines for testing cements and mortars that we offer allows us to meet multiple needs. The different types of frames are specifically designed for specific uses:

Frames with a single measurement scale of 250, 300 or 500 kN, suitable for performing compression tests
Frames with double measuring scale: 250, 300 or 500 kN for compression tests and 50 or 15 kN for bending tests
Double chamber frames with two measuring scales independent of each other: 300 kN for compression tests and 15 kN for bending tests

All the frames are equipped with a safety device that interrupts the test after breaking the specimen to prevent the accessories used during the tests from being damaged.
