Humboldt HCM-0123, Cylinder Splitting Set for HCM-4000/5000 Concrete Compression Machine
Supports the following standards: ASTM C496, AASHTO T-198
The cylinder splitting head has a bearing contact area of 12" (304 mm) long by 2" (50 mm) wide, its surface is machined plane to .001" (.025 mm) and has a scribed center line of the face of the bar for easier centering of test samples.
Note: A lower bearing plate 12.5" (317 mm) long by 7" (178 mm) wide is supplied with HCM-0120 Splitting Test Set for use in CM-2500 series machines.
A concrete cylinder splitting tool is an essential accessory for any concrete compression test machine. It is used to split cylindrical concrete specimens after they have been tested for compressive strength. The tool consists of a pair of hardened steel jaws that are designed to grip the concrete cylinder securely, preventing it from slipping or twisting during the splitting process. The jaws are then slowly forced apart, using hydraulic pressure or manual force, until the cylinder splits cleanly in two. This allows for further analysis of the specimen, including the determination of its density and moisture content. The concrete cylinder splitting tool is a vital tool for ensuring accurate and reliable results in concrete testing.
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.
