Automated Triaxial System
Matest TriaxLab is an outstanding system specifically designed for advanced soil testing. This system can be used from educational to construction engineering laboratories to reduce to the absolute minimum any form of manual intervention.
Universal Tensile Testing Machine
This machine is suitable for testing metallic round and flat rebars, to determine tension, compression, bending shear strength and to determine compression and flexure strength on concrete. This load frame is specially designed to perform tensile tests on wire strands (UNI 7676).
Hydraulic servo-controlled system regulating the load rate
Four thick columns and two lead screws grant high structural stiffness
Two different workspaces, the upper one for tension and the lower one for compression, bending and shearing, for a comfortable test execution
High precision load cell, class 1 according to ISO 376 standard, ensures accurate force measurement
Hydraulic jaws, for stronger clamping of the specimens
Integrated displacement transducer to measure the stroke of the piston
Movable lower crosshead with button panel for easy machine operation and specimen positioning
Compression platens included for easy machine calibration
Power supply: 380V 3ph 50Hz (60Hz on request)
COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL TESTING MACHINES
The wide range of machines for testing cements and mortars that we offer allows us to meet multiple needs. The different types of frames are specifically designed for specific uses:
Frames with a single measurement scale of 250, 300 or 500 kN, suitable for performing compression tests
Frames with double measuring scale: 250, 300 or 500 kN for compression tests and 50 or 15 kN for bending tests
Double chamber frames with two measuring scales independent of each other: 300 kN for compression tests and 15 kN for bending tests

PERMEABILITY TEST
Soil permeability is formally expressed using a coefficient which can be measured by constant head and falling head methods. The two methods can be used with granular soils as well as with clay and sand.
