Humboldt Compression Machines for Concrete are the tool to accurately measure the compressive strength of concrete specimens. These machines perform standard tests, ASTM C39 and C78, to make testing easier and more precise. Concrete compression frames have automated controllers to make testing more efficient, to perform multiple standard tests quickly and accurately and to manage multiple compression frames. These machines are used in civil engineering labs and construction sites to test the quality and durability of concrete structures, such as test beams to determine flexural strength. The machines apply a compressive force to the specimen until it fails and then engineers can measure the maximum load capacity and calculate the compressive strength. Humboldt machines are known for their accuracy, durability and ease of use, that’s why they are the popular choice for concrete testing. With a Humboldt Compression Machine for Concrete engineers can ensure concrete structures meet industry standards and are safe to use.
