Concrete Compression Machine Calibration Kit

The Concrete Compression Machine Calibration Kit is optimized for the calibration of concrete compression testing machines and other testing equipment in the field up to 600,000 lbf. The 600k lbf load cell included in the kit was specifically designed for field applications and, at 28 lbs, weighs considerably less than a typical load cell at this capacity. The Compression Machine Calibration kit includes special top and bottom blocks for all load cells, which helps with better alignment and protects the testing machine platens from concentrated forces.

The Compression Machine Calibration kit is offered with various indicators, including the Morehouse GB2 High Stability Gauge Buster, which produces more stable and repeatable readings than the regular model. The Morehouse HADI can also be paired with the kit to use ASTM E74 or ISO 376 calibration coefficients and record calibration data in a laptop. The kit can be ordered with one or two carrying cases, based on the user's preference.

Compression Machine Calibration Features include:

• Compression calibration capability from 400 to 600,000 lbf
• Optional tension calibration capability from 400 to 60,000 lbf
• Less weight, designed for more portability and field applications
• Primary deadweight calibration for 5 and 60k lbf load cells
• ASTM E74 or ISO 376 calibrations and classifications based on user’s requirements
• Highly stable indicator options
• Top and bottom blocks which help with better alignment and protect loading surfaces
