Flexure Testing Machine
Product Code : JA-CT-9905
The Flexure Testing Machine (SKU JA-CT-9905) tests the flexural strength of concrete beams. Its frame is designed for rigidity throughout the working range, the load is applied by the downward movement of the piston, and a spacer allows different sizes of beam to be tested. On the hand-operated version the load is read on a calibrated Bourdon tube gauge of 0-100 kN x 0.5 kN. Models of 100 kN capacity are listed with hand, electric, digital, automatic pace-rate and Windows-based automatic operation, plus a 200 kN digital machine for timber. It is supplied by JaincoLab for concrete testing laboratories.
Specifications
The machine has a rigid frame, downward piston loading, a spacer for beam sizes and a 0-100 kN x 0.5 kN Bourdon gauge; 100 kN models and a 200 kN timber model for 200 x 200 mm samples up to 4.8 m long are listed, and beam sizes and roller spans are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the flexure testing machine
Technicians set a cured beam on the supports, apply load through the piston at a steady rate until fracture and calculate the modulus of rupture from the failure load and span.
- Flexural strength of concrete beams
- Modulus of rupture for pavement concrete
- Quality control of precast elements
- Flexural tests on timber sections
- Concrete technology practicals
