A large selection of accessories and upgrading options makes our concrete testing solutions flexible and modular allowing each user to expand their material characterization capabilities from Quality Control to Advanced Research. Our products are complemented by a full range of testing equipment for fresh and hardened concrete plus onsite Non-Destructive...

► CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW Measuring compressive and flexural strength is crucial when testing concrete, and for this to happen, the correct loading rate must be applied. This is why, all our concrete strength and flexural testing systems are fully automatic. Our smart and intuitive automatic range is highly accurate both during testing and when acquiring data. Our systems comply with Standards from Quality Control to advanced tests such as Displacement-controlled tests on Fiber Reinforced Concrete. Most automated machines available Our experience and...

► CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW Concrete Compression and Flexural Testing Machines Our wide range of automatic concrete compression machines for compression and flexure testing offers multiple models — from Quality Control to advanced testing. Whatever your budget, all our models are high performing, complemented by a rich selection of accessories and upgrading options that make our range flexible and easily expandable to suit every need. All our testers (except for the WIZARD Auto) introduce new cutting-edge connective technologies that integrate your testing...

► CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW MoE, FRC, Shotcrete Strength and Special Testing Our range of advanced consoles, frames and accessories can perform, in addition to standard compression and flexural tests, advanced tests such as determination of Modulus of Elasticity (MoE) and Fiber Reinforced Concrete characterization under displacement-controlled tests. These advanced test methods are more frequently requested than before for two main reasons. First, we build taller skyscrapers and longer bridges that need to meet a minimum Elastic Modulus value to fulfil...

► CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW Retrofit, Stand-alone Control Console and Frames Upgrade your manual compression machine to automatic load control with our new range of stand-alone automatic control consoles that allow you to convert any frame, from any brand, into an automatic system that meets the demands of our 21st century concrete and cement testing. Our five models of control consoles provide a cost-effective way to retrofit any make of compression testers fitted with old Bourdon gauges or unreliable electronic readout unit and power pumps into one that...

CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW Fresh Concrete Testing Our fresh concrete testing equipment include instruments for sampling and mixing concrete in its fresh state, as as well as assessing its workability, consistency, air content, bleeding, density and setting time. We also offer testers for Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) according to EN Standards and other niche test methods, such as gyratory compaction for no-slump concrete and heat of hydration determination in adiabatic conditions. The gyratory compaction method is very popular in Scandinavia and has been...

CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW Hardened Concrete Testing Hardened concrete testing equipment are designed to prepare and cure concrete specimens (concrete cubes & cylinders and prisms) according to the most important international Standards also following the best industry practice. In this range, you will also find other types of equipment for measuring a wide range of parameters such as water absorption, shrinkage and creep behavior. Automatic Motorized PullOff Bond Strength Tester This apparatus is mainly used to evaluate the bond strength of two layers...

CONCRETE & BUILDING MATERIALS TESTING EQUIPMENT | PRODUCT OVERVIEW Non Destructive Testing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods are used to evaluate — without causing any damage — on-site concrete properties such as strength, corrosion of reinforcement, permeability, cracking and void Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester Velocity of mechanically generated pulses through concrete mainly depends on its elastic properties. Concrete lab technicians can use the ultrasonic method for assessing concrete quality such as homogeneity (internal cracking, potential defects, deterioration due to freeze/ thaw...
