FAQs of Hand Operated Cube Testing Machine:
Q: How does the hand operated cube testing machine work?
A: The machine employs a manually operated hydraulic pump to apply compressive force to a concrete cube specimen placed between upper and lower platens. As you manually operate the pump, the applied load is displayed instantly on the analog dial gauge, which measures in kN and kg/cm, enabling accurate compressive strength testing without electrical power.
Q: What is the process for testing a concrete cube using this machine?
A: Place a concrete cube (up to 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm) centrally between the hardened steel platens. Gradually apply load through the manually controlled hydraulic system at a speed of 0.5 mm/min. Observe the analog dial gauge for the maximum load applied before specimen failure. Record this value to determine compressive strength.
Q: When should I use this testing machine?
A: This machine is ideal for quality control in construction sites, material testing laboratories, and educational institutions whenever you need to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete cubes or blocks, particularly where access to electric power is limited or mobility is essential.
Q: Where can the machine be installed and used?
A: The testing machine is floor-mounted and portable, making it suitable for both laboratory and on-site environments. Its robust construction and crate packaging ensure safe transport and flexible installation at diverse construction or testing locations across India.
Q: What are the maintenance requirements for this machine?
A: Regularly check the hydraulic oil level (2.5 liters capacity) and inspect for any leaks. Keep the platens clean and ensure that moving parts are well-lubricated. Since it is manually operated and constructed from durable materials, maintenance is straightforward and infrequent.
Q: How does manual operation benefit users compared to automatic machines?
A: Manual operation allows total control over test application speed and eliminates reliance on electricity. This increases the machines portability and makes it suitable for remote or temporary testing environments. Simple controls mean less training and easier troubleshooting.
Q: What are the main advantages and features of this cube testing machine?
A: Key features include a 1000 kN capacity, high measurement accuracy (1%), sturdy construction with heavy-duty cast iron, and ease of use with manual operation. Its portable design, user-friendly controls, and robust build make it highly reliable for regular compressive strength testing of concrete cubes.
