Brick Platen Assembly for Concrete Compression Test Machines
Supports the following standards: AASHTO T-67, ASTM C39, ASTM C67
The brick platen assembly is designed for testing brick in compression. The set consists of an upper spherically-seated platen and a lower platen. The upper platen is 6.5" (165mm) wide x 8" (203mm) long x 1.875" (48mm) thick, through-hardened to HRC 60 or better, plane to .0005" (.02mm) and hard-plated for wear and corrosion resistance. The platen is closely held in its spherical seat, but in such a manner as to allow the contact platen to tilt freely and seat securely under load.
The bottom bearing block is used beneath the test specimen to minimize wear on the lower machine platen. It is 8" (203mmm) long x 6.5" (165mm) wide x 1.875" (48mm) thick, through-hardened to HRC 60 or greater, plane to .0005" (.02mm) and is hard-plated for wear and corrosion resistance.
Optional spacers are required to close the vertical opening of the machine when testing bricks.
A high-quality concrete compression testing machine stand improves the testing process by providing a sturdy frame that allows you to position your compression platens at a convenient height. Machine stands are one of the most essential concrete compression machine accessories. Our concrete compression testing machine stands are built with durable steel frames ideal for 250k/ 300k machines.
