MANHOLE TOPS TESTING MACHINE & CONCRETE CREEP TESTING SYSTEM

Manhole Tops Testing Machine
Ref. Standard EN 1917

EKE 0350:

Manhole Tops Testing Machine has been designed to make test according to E 1917 standard on concrete manholes and inspection chambers, unreinforced, steel fiber and reinforced manholes.

Testing Machine is consists of four column 1000 kN capacity frame and  EKE 4830 Automatic power Pack, dual stage, controlled by TFT Graphics Data Acquisition Unit and capable of performing test with the load control. The power pack programmed to make the test according to the standard requirements. It loads the required load 5 times and keeps the maximum load on sample during specified time. (Up to 120 second). Piston is located on the upper crosshead and has a spring mechanism to get back to the initial point. The adaptors for man hole are not supplied with the machine and are  required to be purchased separately.

-    Dimensions: 850 x 1100 x 1215 mm
-    Weight (Approx.) : 15.000 kg

Concrete Creep Testing System
Ref. Standard EN ISO 7500-2

EKE 0400:

ENKAY Creep Testing System on Concrete specimen is designed to determine time – dependent deformation of concrete under sustained and constant load.

Deformation is monitored periodically over time and compared to unloaded specimens to obtain the creep strain of the concrete, which can then be used to calculate the deep compliance, or “ Specific creep” of the material.

The systems capacity on the picture that seen above is 300 kN on each loading frame and the cylindrical specimens dimensions are 130 x 700 mm. on the system one power pack is used for 3 frames. For creep systems custom designs are provided with required capacity and specimen dimensions with suitable accessories.

The standard creep test consists of a loading frame, data acquisition unit and hydraulic power pack and load control system to apply constant load on cylindrical specimens. (If required, the mold with required dimension for the cylindrical specimens is supplied separately)
