Four-Column Long Stroke Compression Testing Machine – 4000 kN
Manufactured by 3R Industries
This fully machined four-column frame is controlled with a foot meter and has a testing force of 4000 kN (2000 kN and 3000 kN models are also available).
It’s used in civil engineering testing labs for carrying out tests on both blocks and cylinders, with the QC/LC frame (Four Columns / Long Stroke) featuring a cylinder with 200mm strike, removing the need to use spacers, which are heavy and often difficult to centre.
The height of the lower platen (980 mm) provides the user with optimum working comfort, limiting back problems.
