Compression Testing Machines for Testing Hardened Concrete 

Concrete compression testing machines for testing cubes in accordance with NS-EN 12390 Testing of hardened concrete. 

The concrete compression press is approved in accordance with Norwegian Standard NS-EN 12390-4 and can normally be used for testing according to NS-EN 12390-3 Compressive strength.

The concrete press is supplied in a 2000 kN version for testing cubes of 100 x 100 x 100 mm.
For testing larger cube dimensions 150 x 150 x 150 mm, higher strengths, or cylinders, a 3000 kN machine can for example be used.  

Quality control: Presses are used in laboratories and on construction sites to ensure that the concrete meets required standards and specifications.

Research and development: Concrete presses are also important in research environments to develop new concrete mixes and improve existing materials. 

  • The test frame has a very stable 4-column construction (no welded frame) with manufacturer certification for stability and force distribution on the frame and spherical head in accordance with the standard. 
  • Automatic control of loading rate and unloading after failure. 
  • Simple and fast operation via a full-color touchscreen and 5-point keypad. 
  • Easy storage of test results on a USB memory stick or SD card. 
  • The display is equipped with 1 × USB port, 1 × SD port, and LAN/Ethernet connection (UTM software required). 
  • Supplied with manufacturer certificate and calibrated prior to delivery from our warehouse. 

Equipment included as standard: 

  • Emergency stop button 
  • Fragment/splinter protection 
  • Built-in printer 
  • Spacer plates 

Options: A wide range of additional equipment and different models of presses are available. 

Concrete presses can be supplied in combined solutions with, for example: 

  • Flexural tensile strength – NS-EN 12390-5 
  • Splitting tensile strength – NS-EN 12390-6 
  • Modulus of elasticity (E-modulus) – NS-EN 12390-13 

Kamet-Röbäcks also supplies concrete presses from Form+Test. These are supplied for the same test procedures and standards.
The compression presses offer very high measurement accuracy and are suitable for larger laboratories or where frequent testing is required.
