The UTEST Automatic range of 2000 kN, 3000 kN, 4000 kN and 5000 kN capacity four column compression testing machines have been
designed for reliable and consistent testing of a wide range of specimens. These compression testers are the results of continuous
research to upgrade the testing machines with the latest technologies and conform to the latest standards EN 12390-3, 12390- 4, BS 1881
and ASTM C39 in terms of its technical properties taking into account client
requirements. These also meet the requirements of CE norms for health and
safety of the operator.

Testing machines are supplied with EN compression platens as standard.

Machines also comply with the ASTM C39 standard when used together with
suitable platens ( see page 5 ).

Tests can be performed by either on BC 100 Unit or on a

computer with using free UTEST Software. The
advantages of performing tests on computer with
using UTEST Software, such as reporting,
graphical output, etc., can be seen at pages 6 and 7.

The UTEST Automatic range of 2000 kN, 3000 kN,

4000 kN and 5000 kN capacity four column
compression testing machines allow
inexperienced operators to perform the tests. Once
the machine has been switched on and the
specimen is positioned and centered by the help of
centering apparatus. The only required operations
are;

• Setting test parameters, including pace rate

(only required when the specimen type is
changed).
• Pressing the START button on the control unit
• The machine automatically starts the rapid
approach, when the specimen touches
the upper platen the rapid approach is ended
and starts loading at the pace rate that selected
by user and stops once the specimen fails.
• Automatically saves the test parameters and
UTC - 5331 test results

Maximum horizontal clearance for placing sample is limited with the border of the platens. Sample must be placed such that its ends will
not overflow from the ends of platens and it must be centred perfectly.

The suitable vertical clearance for specimen can be adjusted with distance pieces ( see page 4 ).

110 V, 50 Hz models are available upon request. The only difference is the input voltage.

UTC-4940 UTEST Software for Automatic Compression / Flextural Strength Testing Machine

Data Acquisition & Pc Software

The Automatic Compression Testing Machine can be controlled (Start, Stop commands) by a computer with the software (given free of
charge by UTEST). This software provides data acquisition and management for compression, flexure and splitting tensile test throughout
the test execution. The advanced functions for data base management provide an easy navigation of all saved data. The test results
certificate includes all descriptive information. Therefore, test parameters can be set and details about the test carried out such as client
details, test type, specimen type, user info and other information required can be entered and printed out as well as test report and graph.

Following tests can be done with the UTEST software.

• Capable to Access and use previously done test data

User can access any data of previously completed tests and use in his/ her new report since most
of the tests have same structure and properties.

• Able to edit test parameters of the testing equipment through Software

All test parameters supported by testing equipment can be changed remotely via software. All
test parameters specified by user are downloaded to the device before initialing the test
procedure. By this way predefined device parameters will not cause errors in test results.

• Graphical outputs and reports can be saved as a MS Excel worksheet

Test result parameters and graphics are transferred to MS Excel worksheet properly to give user
a chance to edit any data and graph easily.

• Maximum Flexibility to edit report and graph templates

User can design his/her custom report template and graphic scheme in MS Excel. In software
part, user will define which data will be screened in which cell on the worksheet. Therefore,
he/she will be able to monitor test results in his/her specific design.
