UTC-5501 Flexural Testing Assembly for Concrete Beams

The test assembly, conforming with EN 12390-5, ASTM C78, ASTM C293, BS 1881:118, is used for center or two-point (third-point loading-ASTM) loading flexural tests on 100 mm or 150 mm concrete beams.

EN 1338, 1339, 1340, 12390-5, 12390-6; BS 1881; ASTM C78, C293, C496, UNI10834

Can be used with all UTEST flexural testing frames. The distance of lower rollers can be adjusted between 100 mm to 800 mm. The distance between upper rollers can be set to 100 mm or 150 mm. For center-point loading flextural test one of the rollers can be removed and the other placed in the center. The rollers dimensions are 38 mm dia. x 160 mm length.

UTC-5502 Flexural Testing Assembly for Concrete Kerbs

The testing assembly, conforming with EN 1340, is used for flexural tests on concrete kerbs. The set consists of two lower rollers 38 mm dia. x 620 mm long and 40 mm dia. upper loading piston with ball seating assembly.

Can be used with all UTEST flexural testing frames. The distance of lower rollers can be adjusted between 100 mm to 800 mm. 

UTC-5504 Flexural Test Assembly

UTC-5504 Flexural Testing Assembly consist of two lower rollers and one upper roller of 38 mm dia. and 620 mm length is used for flexural tests on concrete paving flags and concrete terrazzo tiles, natural stone kerbs and slabs. The distance of lower rollers can be adjusted between 100 mm to 800 mm. Conform with EN 1339, EN 1343, EN 12372.

For the samples with low strength 10 kN loadcell connection flange and  adapter for the load cell should be ordered separately .

UTC-5506 & UTC-5507 Auxiliary Testing Frames for The Measurement of Deflection on Concrete Beams

The Auxiliary testing frame is used for the measurement of deflection during the flexure test on 100x100x400/500 mm and 150x150x500/600 mm beams conforming to ASTM C1018.

The auxiliary testing frames can be used on all UTEST flexural testing frames.

For displacement controlled test, UTC-5507 Auxiliary testing frames with high accurate displacement transducers should be used with UTC-4850 or UTC-4860 advanced servo controlled automatic power packs with proportional valve units or UTC-4870 advanced servo controlled automatic power pack with servo valve.

For load controlled test, UTC-5506  Auxiliary testing frames with linear potantiometric displacement transducers or UTC-5507  Auxiliary testing frames with high accurate displacement transducers should be used with any UTEST servo controlled or automatic power packs.

UTC-5506 Auxiliary Testing Frame is supplied complete with 2 pcs. linear potantiometric displacement transducers (10mm x0.001mm UTGM-0060) and UTC-5507 Auxiliary Testing Frame is supplied complete with 2 pcs. high accurate displacement transducers (10mm x0.001mm UTGM-0072).

UTC-5501 Flexural Test Assembly for concrete beams should be ordered separately.

Splitting Tensile Test for Concrete Paving Blocks and Compressive Strength Test with Flexural Testing Frames

The test assembly is used to perform splitting tensile test for concrete paving blocks and compressive strength tests with the Utest flexure testing frames.

The set consists of UTCM-1116 Upper Platen (with spherical seating assembly) Ø165 mm and Lower Platen Ø165 mm and UTC-5510 Distance Piece (Ø165 x 20 mm thick). For the splitting tensile test for concrete paving blocks (EN 1338), splitting tensile test device (UTC-0355) should be ordered separately.

For the compressive strength test, depending on the height of the specimens to be tested, Ø165 mm distance pieces (15 mm: UTC-4630, 30 mm:UTC-4631, 50 mm: UTC-4633, 90 mm: UTC-4634) should be ordered separately.
