HS Four Column Automatic Compression Testing Machines are classification of concrete samples, performed according to characteristic and compressive strength specifications of concrete samples. These characteristic and compressive strength specifications are determined with to the done tests results with concrete compression machine.
First, Compression Testing Machines should be carried calibration according to the relevant standards in order to make reliable measurements. Compression machine should be within calibration values class 1 for enables a more reliable test results. Can find follow the Testmak concrete compression machine models and technical specifications for the sample specification.
Testmak HSF Automatic Compression Testing Machines have been manufactured for consistent testing of concrete cube and cylinder specimens. These machines are produced to between capacity range of 2000 to 3000 kN . Suitable for CE security norms and and EN 12390-3, 12390-4, BS 1881 to standards.
The HS Four Column Automatic Compression Testing Machines can controlled by the "TCM304" digital readout unit or with computer software. Test results, reporting and graphical print can be done with TCM304 software from computer. Testmak compression machine heavy duty welded and four column frame are produced two model as.
The suitable vertical clearance for specimen can be adjusted with distance pieces. Testmak all model compression machines calibration values are within class 1 starting from 50 kN. Surface hardness 55HRC, flatness tolerance 0.02 mm.
Can be done the following tests with this machines;
1- Compression strength tests.
2- Flexural and splitting tests by using proper accessories.
3- Mortar (Cement) compression tests by using proper accessories.
4- Core testing.

LCD Data Acquisition Control System
The Data Acquisition Control provides real-time graphical indication. Automatically determines the load rate in accordance with the international standards upon sample type. With the STOP and START buttons, the test will automatically stop or start.
LCD Data Acquisition Control System has different units are available (kN / kgf / lbf). Can do Automatic Load Rate upon Sample Type. Total load and also per area are given. and has real time graph indication. Stops Automatically, when Test is completed. Test results can be send printer to with software or from the thermal printer. Can do calibration easily from 5 points. Manual Control is available. Computer and printer are not included in the price.
Software
The tests and calibration can be done and monitored with a computer by connecting it to the machine. LCD Control unit can connecting with RS232 or USB port to the machine. Using the state-of-the-art software provided by TESTMAK with the machine will help performing and managing the tests in a very easy and fast way. By performing the tests via computer, the results can be saved and recalled when required. Reports can be generated automatically by the software and sent to printer.
