Flexural Testing Frames

EN 1339 | EN 1340 | EN 12390-5 | ASTM C78 | ASTM C293 | ASTM C1550 | EN 14651 | EN 14488-5 | ASTM C1609 | ASTM C1018 | AS/NZS 4456:2003
Flexure frame
Flexural Frame for Standard Beams, 150 kN cap.

A simple and practical frame developed for testing on standard concrete beams.
The distance of both pair of loading and support rollers can be easily adjusted: one of the two upper rollers can be removed and the other placed in the centre for centre point loading test.

50-C0920/FR: 150 kN cap. flexure frame complete with rollers, pressure transducer and connection kit for separate control console

50-C0920/B: Pedestal for flexure frame model 50-C0920/FR. Total height 615mm.
50-C0920/2: Piston travel limit switch for 50-C0920/FR frame

Max. vertical clearance: 158 mm ; Horizontal clearance: 185 mm
Roller size: dia. 40x160 mm ; Piston travel: 75 mm
Distance between upper rollers: adjustable from 100 to 200 mm
Distance between lower rollers: 300 or 450 mm

Flexure frame
Flexure frame
High stiffness flexural frame, 200 kN cap., SIMPLEX

This high stiffness flexural frame has been especially designed for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete. These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state stiffness limits which are exceeded by this new model (better than 200 kN/mm).
 
The new layout also allows easier frontal specimen loading and positioning.
The horizontal daylight accommodates large specimens (slab, flagstones), concrete beams and kerbs long up to 650 mm.
Two models are available, either with pressure transducer or with load cell, both fitted with piston travel limit switch and connection kit to separate control console.

50-C1510/FR: SIMPLEX - 200 kN cap. high rigidity flexural frame,  complete with pressure transducer and connection kit for separate control console. Rollers not included.
 
50-C1511/FR: SIMPLEX - 200 kN cap. high rigidity flexural frame, complete with load cell and connection kit for separate control console. Rollers not included.

Flexure frame
High stiffness flexural frame, 200 kN cap., DUPLEX

This high stiffness flexural frame has been designed to have a double testing mode: parallel and orthogonal. Parallel mode is meant to be used for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete.
Orthogonal mode is meant to be used to test specimens with more than 650mm length.

50-C1500/FR: DUPLEX - Parallel and orthogonal testing mode - 200 kN cap. high rigidity flexural frame, complete with pressure transducer and connection kit for separate control console. Rollers not included.
 
50-C1501/FR: DUPLEX - Parallel and orthogonal testing mode - 200 kN cap. high rigidity flexural frame, complete with load cell and connection kit for separate control console. Rollers not included.

Flexure frame
Flexure frame
High stiffness flexural frame, 350 kN cap., SIMPLEX

This high stiffness flexural frame has been especially designed for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete. These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state stiffness limits which are exceeded by this new model (better than 200 kN/mm).
 
The new layout also allows easier frontal specimen loading and positioning.
The horizontal daylight accommodates large specimens (slab, flagstones), concrete beams and kerbs up to 880 mm long.
In addition the frame is suitable to host round FRC slab to ASTM C1550.

The frame is fitted with high precision load cell (recommended for FRC testing), piston travel limit switch and connection kit to the control console. Bearers not included.

50-C1711/FR: SIMPLEX - 350 kN cap. high rigidity flexural frame, complete with load cell and connection kit for separate control console. Rollers not included. Includes set of spacers to reduce the vertical daylight by: 50mm, 80mm, 100mm, 130mm, 150mm and 180mm.

This high stiffness flexural frame has been designed to have a double testing mode: parallel and orthogonal. Parallel mode is meant to be used for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete. Orthogonal mode is meant to be used to test long specimens having more than 880mm length.

The frame is fitted with high precision load cell (recommended for FRC testing), with piston travel limit switch and connection kit to the control console. Bearers not included.

50-C1701/FR: DUPLEX - 350 kN cap. high rigidity flexural frame, complete with load cell and connection kit for separate control console. Rollers not included. Includes set of spacers to reduce the vertical daylight by: 50mm, 100mm and 150mm

Flexure frame
Flexure frame
Universal, open structure flexural frame, 300 kN cap.

UNIFLEX 300 flexural frame has been designed to satisfy the stringent requirements prescribed by the standards concerning, above all, the determination of deformability and ductility index of sprayed concrete and fiber reinforced concrete.

The “C” shaped open structure allows an easy and practical front loading but, once the specimen is in the loading position, the structure is closed by a vertical rod hydraulically clamped and controlled to compensate frame deformation during the test thus ensuring high rigidity.

Fitted with high precision strain gauge load cell for accurate and reliable test results.
The frame has to be connected to a control console and completed with the suitable testing accessories depending on the test to be performed. 

50-C1601/FR: UNIFLEX 300, Universal open structure flexural frame, 300 kN cap., complete with connection kit for separate control console.
