BCO-W – WELDED WALL TYPE FULLY AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC COMPRESSION TEST MACHINE WITH TOUCHSCREEN
BESMAK® BCO-W Series Wall-Type Concrete Compression Test Machines are designed for the standard compressive strength testing of concrete cubes and cylinders. They feature a rigid wall-frame construction and advanced closed-loop control, allowing fully automatic loading profiles according to testing standards like EN 12390-4 and ASTM C39. The BCO-W series offers models with different maximum capacities (up to 3000 kN) and provides Class 0,5 measurement accuracy, ensuring reliable and precise results for concrete strength evaluation. These machines are user-friendly and safe, making them ideal for both high-volume quality control testing and laboratory research.
Standards:
- EN 7500-1 CLASS 1
- EN 12390-4
- ASTM C39
Category:
Concrete
- Accommodates standard cube specimens (150 × 150 × 150 mm and 200 × 200 × 200 mm) and cylinder specimens (150 × 300 mm and 160 × 320 mm).
- Rigid welded wall-type load frame construction for stability under high loads.
- Fully automatic compression testing with closed-loop control and a touch-screen digital controller.
- Available in different models with capacities ranging from 250 kN up to 3000 kN.
- Automatic user-defined loading (pace) rate adjustment with high precision.
- Lower platen is marked for precise centering of both cube and cylinder samples.
- Includes removable distance spacer blocks (10 mm, 20 mm, 50 mm, 80 mm) to accommodate specimens of various sizes.
- After each test, the piston automatically returns to the home position to prepare for the next test.
- Protective safety door encloses the test area for operator safety during operation.
- Automatic calibration function for all connected sensors to maintain accuracy over time.
- Ability to apply loading, unloading, hold a load at a specified value for a defined time period (useful for certain test procedures), and deformation control up to 0.1 micron.
- Capable of performing modulus of elasticity (Young’s Modulus) and Poisson’s ratio tests on concrete with optional displacement transducers for strain measurement.
- Accuracy Class 0,5 per EN ISO 7500-1; compliant with EN 12390-4 and ASTM C39 concrete compression standards.
