TENSILE (BRIQUETTE) STRENGTH TESTER:

AS PER IS: 269 - 1950, BS 12

Introduction: Used for making tensile strength test on cement briquettes.

HAND OPERATED TENSILE (BRIQUETTE) STRENGTH TESTER: 

General Description and Specifications:

• The Instrument is suitable for tensile tests up to 1200 Lbs or 540 kg. It is hand operated, with automatic loading by lead shots.
• Two calibrated scales 100 Ibs x 1 lb. and 50 kg x 0.5 kg are engraved.
• Supplied complete with one brass briquette mould with base plate, lead shots 15kgs, weights to weigh 50kg, 100kg. 150kg. and 200kg.

Spares: Lead shots & Briquette mould brass with base plate.

ELECTRICALLY OPERATED TENSILE (BRIQUETTE) STRENGTH TESTER: 

General Description and Specifications: 

• The instrument employs a friction -free, accurate, double lever system, the load being applied by means of sliding weight on the top lever.
• The capacity of the unit is 900 kgs.
• After fixing the briquette in the jaws, the machine is switched on.
• The sliding weight slides over the calibrated lever thus applying tension to the specimen.
• A micro-switch fitted instantly stops the machine on failure of the briquette and on failure the tensile load is accurately read to 0.5kg. by means of a marker provided on the sliding weight.
• The machine can be made opera table for subsequent test only after the sliding weight to its zero position.
• Suitable for operation on 230 volts, 50 cycles, single phase, A.C. supply. Complete with one brass briquette mould and one base plate.
