Flexure Testing Machine

Share  | 

• Hand operated
• Electrically operated

• The hand operated flexural testing machine consists of a hand operated load frame.
• There are two rollers in the lower platen, the distance between whom can be adjusted.
• The center to center difference between the two rollers varies according to size of the beam.
• There is a pressure gauge fixed on the load frame to indicate load.
• There is also a small pumping unit attached to the load frame.
• The hand operated machine is light weight and can also be used in field laboratory.
• The electrically operated machine has a separate electrically cum hand operated pumping unit housed in a cabinet.
• The machine has a motorised load frame, with a constant rate of strain to supply load on the specimen.
• In the electrically operated machine, there is a pressure gauge, an on/off switch and a slow/fast level to control rate of loading. All these are attached to the front panel of the pumping unit.
• A micro switch and relay are also attached inside the pressure gauge to protect the unit from over loading.
