M7910 Cement Compression Tester



The Grace Instrument M7910 Cement Compression Flexural Tester is designed to test the compressive strength and flexural strength of cement under pressurized conditions. Using a hydraulic pump, an electronic control system, and standardized compression devices (also known as jigs) as needed, the M7910 can compress standard-strength concrete samples of cylinders, cubes, or blocks according to API standards and ISO specifications. The M7910 is available in several different models with various add-on modules for test flexibility.

The M7910's programmable digital control system configures test sequence algorithms to precisely determine compressive strength. A dual measuring range in the same test chamber permits both flexural (low capacity range) and compression (nominal range) tests. Two pressure transducers, one sensitive to higher strengths and one sensitive to lower strengths, perform accurate testing on samples with high or low strength values. Testing data can be saved and retrieved from the unit using a USB flash drive or SD card.

Additionally, the unit features a 5.7-inch PC-based, on-board, color touchscreen which provides user-friendly, accurate testing. The M7910 is compact in size compared to other compression/flexural testers, maximizing laboratory space when placed on the lab floor. Certain models can even be placed on a benchtop. The M7910 is very mobile and can be easily moved from lab to lab. For operator safety, the M7910 includes an emergency switch at the top of the unit.
