Series D - D - S

Testing systems for brittle materials such concrete or rock requires high stiffness load frames that minimize the amount of deformation energy that is stored in the frame.

Compression Testing Machines
for Analysation of Rock Mechanics

It is essential to minimize the released energy from the frame to the specimen to detect the first partial crack in the specimen either to release the load or to continue the test to show the decaying load carrying capacity of the specimen. Ideal for performing unconfined compression on concrete or rock samples, triaxial, bending, indirect tension, fracture, creep, and other compression tests.
