HAND OPERATED FLEXURAL TESTING MACHINE 

Hand Operated Flexure Testing Machine (250 kN)

Product Code: MSI 2057

The Hand Operated Flexural Testing Machine (250 kN) is a highly rigid, specialized hydraulic testing apparatus engineered to evaluate the modulus of rupture and flexural strength of concrete beam specimens. Built to deliver massive loading capacities up to 250 kN, this robust manual system is perfectly optimized for both field testing stations and commercial laboratories prioritizing structural reliability without electrical dependency.

The system is built on a heavy-duty 150 kg structural load frame standing 850 mm tall, offering excellent mechanical stability under peak load profiles. It features an integrated adjustable lead screw assembly that modifies the vertical workspace layout, enabling seamless configuration for standard concrete beams measuring 100 x 100 x 500 mm and 150 x 150 x 700 mm.

🎯 Applications

• High-Capacity Flexural Strength Testing of Heavy Concrete Beams

• Modulus of Rupture Determination for Pavement, Highway, & Runway Concrete

• On-Site Construction Field Labs & Mobile Testing Units

• Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Quality Audits & Mix Validation

• Civil Engineering & Third-Party Material Testing Laboratories

• Academic Research & Civil Engineering Training Institutes

⭐ Features

• High-Capacity Frame: Delivers a powerful 250 kN maximum capacity to easily snap high-strength structural concrete beams.

• Heavy-Duty Hydromechanics: Equipped with an 82 mm diameter ram featuring a 50 mm travel stroke for steady, smooth load increments.

• Large Analog Display: Outfitted with an expansive 200 mm diameter pressure gauge calibrated in kilonewtons for high-visibility visual logs.

• Adjustable Workspace: Integrated lead screw assembly allows operators to mechanically adjust the vertical daylight clearance up to 160 mm.

• Field Operational: Completely hand-operated design requires zero external power cables or grid connections, making it ideal for remote project sites.

• Fine-Tuned Resolution: Precision-calibrated system features a crisp least count of 0.5 kN for accurate data charting.

🔬 Working Principle

The concrete beam sample is centered on the lower structural rollers across the 210 mm horizontal clearing boundary. The operator adjusts the upper lead screw assembly to bring the vertical daylight to the required level based on the specimen's depth. The manual hydraulic lever is pumped steadily, forcing the 82 mm ram outward.

The vertical movement exerts up to 200 kg/cm² of system pressure, transferring hydraulic force into a controlled linear push on the beam surface. The force metrics are continuously shown on the large 200 mm dial indicator. Upon beam failure, the maximum kilonewton breaking load is captured via the pointer mechanism before the pressure system is bled down.

💡 Advantages

• Massive structural frame mass (150 kg) effectively dampens high-energy recoil shock waves at sample fracture.

• Zero electrical power dependency means tests can be performed directly on remote road construction alignments.

• Large 200 mm analog dial features a clear 0.5 kN resolution to minimize operator reading errors.

• Integrated lead screw makes clearing adjustments fast and straightforward when switching between beam dimensions.
