70-S10T02
Combined semi-automatic digital system, 500 kN cap. in tension and
1000 kN cap. in compression
70-S11U02
Automatic computerized system, 500 kN cap. in tension and 1000 kN
cap. in compression or up to 5000 kN with a second frame.
These machines have been designed for performing, in the field or labo-
ratory, tension tests on steel rebars up to 24 mm diameter and compres-
sion tests on cylindrical concrete specimens up to 160 mm diameter x
320 mm height and cubes up to 150 mm, using the appropriate acces-
sories. They are comparatively lightweight, with small dimensions, good
accuracy and a low cost, making them ideal for site and educational
purposes.
