STANDARDS: EN 12390-5, 1339, 1340, 14488-5 | ASTM C78, C293, C1550 360 KN CAPACITY
The frame has been designed to perform different kind of tests, from the simple third/centre point flexural test on beams to the advanced FRC
displacement controlled tests and energy absorption tests on sprayed concrete. Accurate results are granted by the high stiffness of the frame
according to the international Standards requirement (more than 200 kN/mm) and by a high precision load cell measurement system fitted into the
frame. The high horizontal daylight of the testing chamber allows to test big dimension specimens. Rollers are optional and must be ordered
separately according to user needs.

DEFLECTION MEASUREMENT DEVICE
STANDARDS: EN 14488-3 | ASTM C1609, C1018
This device is fixed directly on the fiber reinforced concrete beam under test.
The device is placed between the loading bearers of a flexure frame or of a flexure device in a compression frame.
The test is performed by applying a flexural load to the concrete beam with load and displacement control and with automatic deflection measurement
of the loaded specimen.
It is possible to test fibre reinforced concrete beams 100x100x400 or 500 mm and 150x150x500 or 600 mm dimensions.
The deflection device is steel made with chromed finishing; it is supplied complete with transducer holders, vertically positioned on the two
opposite sides of the beam, but without the two transducers, for the measurement of deflection (mod. S336-11), and without the fork form
transducer (mod. C090-16) to be ordered separately.
Dimensions: 300x450x300 mm
Weight: 8 kg approx.
