What can concrete testing equipment do?

 

Concrete is the backbone of construction industry. Whether it is a dam or a residential building, concrete is often used to create the foundation for a structure. Often, a hardness test is needed to check whether this structural element can take the load of the entire construction. Thus, concrete testing equipment is used on the construction sites for testing hardness and other properties.

Functions of concrete testing equipment

There are different kinds of tests done on a construction site. These tests are done by the engineers and technicians using a specialize set of equipment. Here is the list of tests done on-site.

·           Fresh concrete testing

This test checks the quality and workability of concrete before being used in advance structural application such as high-rise construction, long distant project like pavement and road.

·           Concrete strength testing

This test checks the flexural or compressive strength of concrete for quality assurance and industry compliance. Cylinder beams and molds are used to collect sample concrete from site for this lab testing process.

·           Cement testing

This testing checks the consistency, setting time, strength, shrinkage rate of cement.

·           Concrete curing

Concrete testing equipment is also used to ensure development of maximum strength under specific conditions of temperature and moisture.

Benefits of using concrete testing equipment

Our top-quality testing equipment are designed and developed so that the fresh and molded concrete can be tested without causing any damage to the infrastructure.

Hardness and strength testing is mandatory process to ensure the integrity of the infrastructure of a construction project. This is carried out smoothly due to the modern features of the testing equipment provided by our prestige manufacturers. Accuracy and quick report generation are highlight features of these equipment.

Advantages of Universal Testing Machine

The main advantage of investing in a universal testing machine is that the device can be used to test the strength, durability, and suitability for most any material. A universal testing machine has the capability to pull, compress, bend, or stretch material to its breaking point. It is primarily used by laboratories that manufacture and or mould different types of plastics. A universal testing device features one or two vertical columns mounted on a base. A second horizontal plate contains attachments that are used to hold the sample and slides up and down during stress testing samples. Dual vertical column machines are preferred by most laboratories as they can handle larger samples in terms of size and weight. Determining tensile strength is the most common test performed in a universal testing machine. This is done by holding one end of a sample in place while the other is pulled away until two sides are torn apart. The same process is used for testing flexural str

Uses for Universal Testing Machine

Universal testing machine or UTM is aptly named as it can perform various types of tensile and compression tests on different materials. There are also many different terms used to refer to a UTM that you will commonly hear in the industry, among the most popular of which are a tensile tester, bend tester, and compression tester. Some types of UTMs are stripped of some capabilities and/or are marketed to specific sectors, like texture analyzers for food, peel tester for adhesives, labels, and tapes, and top load compression tester for pipes and packaging. True UTMs can perform all of these and more. They are great multi-purpose instruments for any QC or R&D laboratory. The following are only a few common uses for UTMs: Tensile testing – One of the most common applications for UTM, a tensile test measure how strong a material is, how long it can stretch, and how stiff it is as the material is pulled apart until breaking point. Compression testing – Compr

Precautions to Be Taken While Using a Piezometer

The piezometer is a measuring device that determines pore pressures underground and liquid pressure. By determining pore pressure, you can understand the behaviour of the ground before, during, and after a construction project. Certain precautions must be taken when using a piezometer to ensure proper usage and the accuracy of results. Here are some of them: Have the right equipment – Invest in a state-of-the-art piezometer that uses a proven method of converting fluid pressures on the sensitive diaphragm into frequency signals which are ideal in the demanding environment common with civil engineering applications. Modern piezometers are capable of long distance signal transmission without degradation. They can tolerate wet wiring conditions and resist external electrical noise, too. Some manufacturers make piezometers specific for different applications, for instance, you should be able to find one with a heavy-duty body that can be b
