section C
151

The accurate and satisfactory test of fresh and hardened con-

crete are essential elements for any type of building realization.
The final quality of the concrete utilized in the structure depends
from many variables like: workability, consistency, setting, time,
volumic mass, air content, compressive strength, temperature,
linear variations, etc.
Matest proposes a complete range of testing and research
equipment on concrete to satisfy practically all the above quality
variables, in compliance with the EN, ASTM and the most known
International Standards. In the second part of this section a com-
plete range of instruments is available for non-destructive tests,
to investigate and evaluate the progressive ageing and durability
of concrete structures submitted to the chemical attacks, air
pollution, time.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The load frame is extremely strong and oversized to grant high rigidity and stability.
The upper head holds the precision lapped ball-seating and the compression platen.
Compression platens are surface hardened over 55 HRC and ground.
Design emphasis has been placed on simplicity both of construction and operation so that our machines are rugged, easy to use and
maintain, and designed for heavy continue use.
They are designed to conform to International Specifications as: EN, ASTM, AASHTO, BS, NF, DIN, UNI, UNE.
They are available in 1300 kN, 1500 kN, 2000 kN, 3000 kN, 4000 kN, 5000 kN capacity, both hand-operated and motorized, at one or two
gauges, with electronic digital display measuring system, and with automatic servocontrolled console with microprocessor.
The different versions give the possibility to test cubes, cylinders, blocks. All the machines can be equipped with safety guards.

COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINES “TESTED FOR HIGH STABILITY”,
FOUR COLUMNS PRESTRESSED FRAME
The compression machines “tested for high stability” meet the stringent requirements of the:
EN 12390-4 / BS 1881:115 / DIN 51220. / UNI 6686, part 3 / NF P18-411 / UNE 83304 / ASTM C39 / AASHTO T22
The machines are manufactured with specific quality features (processing, tolerances) of frame, piston/cylinder group, spherical seat, com-
pression platens, distance pieces etc., conforming and meeting the high stability verification. (force distribution).
The conformity of the stability is certified with the verification of the self-alignment (foot-meter test) of the machines’s components and
the restraint on movement of the upper spherical seat/platen, by using a special electric strain load column at 5 measuring points which is
connected to its suitable datalogger (technical details: see pag. 251)

section C
An incorrect and not uniform load application to the specimen causes irregular, unsatisfactory and premature failure. The obtained
compression resistance can be substantially lower than the effective resistance.
The most important feature of the “high stability frames” is their uniform distribution of the applied load on all the specimen’s surface
under test. The sample breakage is satisfactory and the strength results are correct, high and true.

• The four columns frame is prestressed on 8 ring nuts and the clamping is obtained and checked by a dynamometric spanner, allowing
to get a very high stiffness and stability on all load range and to keep these features in the time.
• The spherical seat, in oil bath with null end float, is studied and manufactured to grant, during the starting phase of the test, an accurate
self-alignment without frictions of the upper compression platen to the specimen. By applying the load, the ball seating assembly locks
and keeps the position until the specimen’s failure.
• Piston and cylinder are coupled with high quality packing set. 199
• Compression platens are hardened over 55 HRC and rectified.

UPGRADING OPTION: COMBINED TWO FRAMES GROUP
All motorized compression testing machines listed in the previous pages can be upgraded with an hydraulic two ways distribution block
for connection and control (alternative, and non-simultaneous) to a second frame, like for example flexural frame or cement compression
frame, with obvious functional and economic advantages (especially in the digital solutions).
A hydraulic two ways distribution valve may activate the standard frame or the second combined frame by utilizing only one hydraulic
pressure source.
The load of the second combined frame is measured:
- For the gauges group with an additional specific gauge fixed on the second frame.

Two channels thermometer K-type thermocouple,
with Windows software for data download to PC
This model is used to automatically measure and store the temperature of concrete casting during the curing phase.
This watertight thermometer is provided with two inputs to connect separately two K-type thermocouple probes.
The data read by the probes can be transferred every 2 seconds to a PC by means of the RS232 port and the appropriate cable and
software supplied with the equipment.
This advanced thermometer displays the current measure along with the minimum and maximum temperatures recorded by the two
probes during the working cycle. These data are displayed on a two-levels backlit display.
The thermometer can also display:

PLASTIC CUBE, CYLINDER AND BEAM MOULDS
These one-piece moulds, very appreciated by the user, are made from hard plastic, strong, light, undeformable; resistant to vibrations shocks
and wear. They do not require mounting and dismounting operations, thus saving time and labour. They just require a simple clean and
demould oiling before being ready for use again for many times. The specimen is expelled from the mould by compressed air or water.
The moulds: C223, C224, C230N, C232N, C228, C229 are produced by Matest and have competitive manufacturer prices.
CUBE MOULDS 150 MM SIDE
The cube moulds 150 mm side can be supplied in three different models, each one with different characteristics and weight.
All the 3 models have a reinforced band on the walls, and the inside surfaces are very smoothed getting easier the specimen’s ejection.

FLAT JACKS. Tests on brickworks

Determination of the resistance and deformation under load

Evaluation of the tensile stress
Measurement of the elastic modulus and breaking load

The complete test is developed in two steps:

DETERMINATION OF THE STATIC LOAD (TENSILE STATUS)
One flat jack is used.
section C

Two datum points are fixed across a mortar joint and the distance between the points is measured.
Successively a horizontal cut is carried out with the suitable tool (drill, cutting saw) level with the mortar layer, and it is measured the
variation of the two datum points.
The flat jack must be introduced, it is pressurized in different growing phases and the variation between the datum points is measured, by
determining the static load.

DETERMINATION OF THE DEFORMATION AND RESISTANCE (IN-SITU STRESS)

Two flat jacks are used.
It must be done a second cut, parallel to the first one, level with the mortar layer, having a distance of approximately 50 cm from the first cut.
Another flat jack must be introduced.
Three couples of datum points are placed on the brickwork portion between the two cuts.
286 Start to pressurize the two flat jacks at growing phases.
The variation of distances of the datum points at different pressure steps allows to delineate a strength-deformation curve, obtaining elastic
modulus, Poisson and breaking point values.

A known water pressure is applied on the specimen’s
surface for a known time, as requested by Standard,
using a suitable air compressor (see accessory) having
at least 5 bar pressure.
A manometer checks constantly the applied water
pressure.
The apparatus is supplied “complete with graduated
