How Compression Testing Works
Specimen Preparation
Concrete cubes or cylinders are prepared as per standards.
Specimen Placement
The specimen is placed centrally between the loading platens.
Apply Load
The hydraulic system applies load at a controlled rate.
Specimen Failure
The specimen fails at its maximum compressive load.
Record Results
The maximum load is recorded, and compressive strength is calculated.
Concrete Testing Methods Available
Concrete Cube Testing
Concrete cube testing determines the compressive strength of standard concrete cubes, typically 150 mm. It is widely used for quality control of concrete.
Cylinder Testing
Cylinder testing determines the compressive strength of concrete cylinders and is suitable for structural and research applications.
