Brazilian Test Apparatus

10 Ton Hand operated with one dia of 50 mm and suitable for 50 mm and 60 mm

The instrument is designed to test specimens from 50 mm dia to 100 mm dia having thickness equal to half the diameter. A pair of loading jaws, designed so as to contact a disc shaped sample at diametrically opposed surfaces over an arc of contact of about 10 degrees at failure, is supplied. The set of jaws supplied with the equipment is designed for 50 mm dia specimen and therefore it is essential to order jaws for respective sizes, if other diameter samples are to be tested. A set of plain platens are provided with the jack which enable testing of cube and circular specimens up to 50 mm size for compressive strength
