Auxiliary Cylinder Loading Shelf is for use with Humboldt HCM-2500 Series concrete compression machines.
In a concrete compressive test, a concrete cylinder loading shelf is used to hold the specimen in place during testing. The loading shelf is steel and holds the cylindrical specimen.
The purpose of the concrete compressive test is to determine the compressive strength of the concrete. To do this, a cylindrical specimen of the concrete is made and placed on the loading shelf. The specimen is then loaded until it fractures. The maximum load the specimen can withstand before fracturing is the compressive strength of the concrete.
The loading shelf is important because it provides a flat surface for the specimen to sit on so the compressive force is applied evenly to the specimen. It also prevents the specimen from slipping or rolling during testing which could give inaccurate results.
In a nutshell, the concrete cylinder loading shelf is a critical part of the concrete test because it provides support and stability to the specimen during testing.
A good concrete compression testing machine stand improves the testing process by giving you a sturdy frame to place your compression platens at a comfortable height.
