MC-60

• Designed for R-Value (Hveem) testing of asphalt samples and flexural testing of concrete beams.

• Useful for a variety of mid-range compression testing.

• Digital controller has memory for 1,000 tests and downloads to printer or PC.

• 60,000lbf capacity.

Gilson's versatile mid-range 60,000lbf (267kN) digital compression tester is suited for a variety of tests, but it is specially designed for Hveem (R-Value) asphalt stability testing or (with attachments) recorded flexural testing of 6x6in (152x152mm) concrete beams. A test set for 2in (51mm) cube testing is also available, and sets for other applications can be offered on request.

The display shows live load, peak load, peak stress, and load rate with 0.5% accuracy from 1%-100% of capacity in 0.44in digits. Load may be displayed in lbf, N, or kgf, and memory is provided for up to 1,000 tests. Optional RS-232 interface allows transfer of data to PC, or direct printouts can be made using the MCA-26 parallel port Printer Accessory. The 2.5in (64mm) working stroke hydraulic ram has control positions for rapid advance, metered advance at constant loading rate, hold, and retract. The two-stage hydraulic system is powered by a 1/2hp motor, and safety features limit pressure within load frame capacity, protect against piston overextension, and guard against flying specimen fragments. The rigid one-piece solid steel load frame is supplied with an 8in (203mm) diameter 1in (25mm) thick hardened steel lower platen and a 6.5in (165mm) diameter spherically-seated upper platen. Both are plated and scribed with concentric circles. Overall Dimensions with included support stand are 31.8x17x61in (806x432x1549mm), WxDxH.

The MCA-4 Flexural Attachment and MCA-15 Spacer are required for testing of 6x6in (152x152mm) beams of 12-30in (305-mm) span in either center of third point loading. A special included software provision allows instantaneous direct plotting of Modulus of Rupture (MOR) in lbf/in² vs. time when the MCA-26 Printer Accessory is attached. The plot is automatically scaled to fit 8.5x11in plain paper, and the peak MOR is printed on the plot to ±0.5% machine accuracy along with specimen and operator IDs, test date, and time.

The versatile MC-60 can be adapted to suit a variety of other mid-range test procedures. A 2in (51mm) Cube Test Set is available as MCA-6. Inquire for other possible applications including compressive strength of 6x12in soil cement cylinders, 3x6in grout or concrete cylinders, and for molding and strength of 2in, 3in, or 4in diameter bituminous concrete specimens.
