This section includes both Machines and Test Accessories. Machine accessories are items that complement your compression machine’s configuration such as: steel frame pedestal, distance pieces to adjust vertical daylight, lifting device for block platens and PC software. Test accessories include a wide range of testing jigs to perform tests other than concrete compression, for example, compression on cement, splitting on concrete cylinders and pavers, flexure on concrete beams.

Made of steel. Used to reduce the vertical daylight of the compression machine depending on the size of the specimen and considering that, in general, the maximum piston travel is 50 mm. The table in Technical Specifications is a suitable application guide to help you in the selection of required distance pieces.
Distance pieces are available in three different series:
Standard series 50-C908x
This series is suggested for concrete compression machines/frames when testing normal strength concrete (NSC). This series is fitted with a centering central pin for simple stacking up of distance pieces one on top of the other. The bottom compression platen of the compression machine/frame is simply laid on the distance pieces. Distance pieces are simply laid on the piston.
Series 50-C9080/xx
This series is suggested for concrete compression machines/frames when testing high perfformance concrete (HPC), rocks, clay blocks and in general materials having brittle failure. This series is fitted with both a centering central pin for simple stacking up of distance pieces one on top of the other and two screws for solid fixing. The bottom compression platen of the compression machine/frame can be simply laid on the distance pieces or fixed by 2 steel plates model 50-C9080/F (see Accessories). Distance pieces can be simply laid on the piston or fixed by 2 screws.
Series 65-L1000/xx
This series is suggested for cement compression machines/frames. This series is fitted with a centering central pin for simple stacking up of distance pieces one on top of the other. The bottom compression platen of the compression machine/frame is simply laid on the distance pieces. Distance pieces are simply laid on the piston.
Distance piece dia.200x68mm complete with both central centering pin for simple stacking up and two screws for solid fixing.
Distance piece dia.200x30mm complete with both central centering pin for simple stacking up and two screws for solid fixing.
Distance piece dia.200x50mm complete with both central centering pin for simple stacking up and two screws for solid fixing.
Distance piece dia.200x100mm complete with both central centering pin for simple stacking up and two screws for solid fixing.
