Cement Tensile Testing Machine

Tensile strength of cement test procedure.

Cement tensile testing machine.

Cement sacks tensile testing machine computerised model. Cement is usually subjected to compressive stresses when used in the form of concrete or mortar. The most comprehensive test for cement or for a mixture of it with sand is done by determining its crushing strength unfortunately it requires a very costly machine and therefore the usual practice is to use the tensile test instead which can be carried out very cheaply. I the mortar of cement and sand is prepared.

The most commonly used test equipment for cement concrete is compression testing machine or ctm as it is widely known. The quantity of water is 5 per cent by weight of cement and sand. This test is commonly used by cement manufacturers in order to determine the quality of cement. This machine having special type of grip to avoide slipage of hdpe woven sacks.

Heico range of products include almost all the testing equipment generally used in the laboratories of construction organizations including solutions for cement concrete and steel bars. The strength of hdpe woven sacks directly show on screen in kgf and newton selectable. The proportion is 1 3 which means that x gm of cement is mixed with 3 x gm of sand. Iii the mortar is placed in briquette moulds.

It can also be used to test the flexure strength of the sample. Ii the water is added to the mortar. Uniaxial tensile test id one of the difficult and complicated tests to perfume on concrete but gives the true tensile strength of concrete.
