UNIVERSAL AUTOMATIC TENSILE TESTING MACHINES: 600 KN, 1000 KN, 1500 KN, 2000 KN CAPACITY

Category:

STANDARDS: EN ISO 6892-1, EN 7500-1 | EN 10002, EN 10080, EN 50081-1, EN 15630-1, EN 15630-3 | ASTM A370, ASTM E8UNI 7676 (Wire Strands)
The machine is designed to meet requirements of works, laboratories and universities for quality control
and research purposes. This system is suitable to test metallic round and flat rebars, to determine tension, compression, bending
shear strength and to determine compression and flexure strength on concrete.

LOAD FRAME FEATURES
Models: 600 kN, 1000 kN, 1500 kN, 2000 kN Capacity. Other
load capacities (700 kN and 1200 kN) available on request.
(see next pages)
Hydraulic servo-controlled system regulating the load rate
Four thick columns and two lead screws grant high structural
stiffness
Two different work spaces, the upper one for tension and the
lower one for compression, bending and shearing, for a comfortable
test execution
High precision load cell, class 1 according to ISO 376 standard,
grants accurate force measurement
Hydraulic jaws, for stronger clamping of specimens
Possibility to fit accessories for tensile tests on nut bolts, headed
and shouldered specimens, wire ropes
Integrated displacement photoelectric encoder
Movable lower crosshead with button panel for an easy machine
operation and specimens positioning
Compression platens included for an easy machine calibration
Machine CLASS: 1
Load frame H001BS (1000 kN) is specially designed (improved
tension space and power pack) to also perform tensile tests on wire
strands (UNI 7676).
A second frame (accessory) can be easily connected to perform a
compression test on concrete specimens, including configurations
for Elastic Modulus and Poisson ratio determination.
The most common combination is with C092-09, 2000 kN compression
frame useful for testing cubes up to 150 mm side and
cylinders up to 160×320 mm also with capping retainers
(ASTM C1231).

FIRMWARE
Fully automatic test cycle with closed-loop digital feedback

Electronic control unit “Servo-plus Evolution” with Touch-Screen
colour display, that runs like a standard PC based on Windows
operating system for management and analysis of data, test
results, graphs.
The Touch-Screen icon interface allows an easy set-up of parameters
and an immediate test execution.
The machine can also be connected to a PC for a remote test
execution through suitable Software.

Direct connection to Intranet (connection to a LAN network) and
Internet to establish a remote communication and receive an
immediate diagnostic analysis from Matest technicians, or for any
software updates.
Unlimited memory storage with: 2 USB ports, 1 SD card slot, 1
RS232/485 serial port.
Possibility to select different languages.
Hardware technical details: see p. 18
The machine is supplied complete with loading frame, control unit,
compression platens and hydraulic power pack for jaws closing,
while PC, software, grips, printer and extensometers (see next
pages) are optional and must be ordered separately according
to the user needs.

ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES
C092-09
COMPRESSION FRAME, 2000 kN capacity, connected to the same control unit. Vertical daylight: 376 mm with a distance piece of 40 mm high.
Useful to test concrete cubes up to 150 mm side and cylinders up to 160×320 mm also with capping retainers. Technical details: see p. 238
Note:
It is possible to connect different types of compression frames and
other frames (up to 2) for many other tests:
flexure, splitting, cement, etc.
Ask our technicians for more details.

Note:
Electronic extensometers and software are listed at p. 439, 449.

H009-01
PERSONAL COMPUTER for remote test execution with a pre-installed
software. Complete with LCD, monitor 22”, keyboard, mouse,

connection cable.
Note:
The PC is recommended, but not necessary: the machine can in
any case perform tests without any external PC.

H009N
SOFTWARE for tensile tests on steel (Load/Deformation, graphic,
test certificate etc.)

H014
ELECTRONIC EXTENSOMETER
Measuring base 50 mm, Deformation range +1 mm / -0.2 mm
Maximum percent measurable deformation: +2%
It gives the possibility to take the longitudinal deformations of the
specimen during the tensile test. A graph load/deformation is
obtained and from this graph the coefficient of elasticity together
with the loads RP0.1 – RP0.2 – Rt1 can be identified even on materialsthat are not presenting a yield point that can be clearly identified.
The appliance is delivered complete with connection cables.
