High stiffness flexural frame, 200 kN cap., DUPLEX Controls Group

This high stiffness flexural frame has been designed to have a double testing mode: parallel and orthogonal.
Parallel mode is meant to be used for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete.
These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state stiffness limits which are exceeded by this new model (better than 200 kN/mm).

Feature:

High rigidity (200 kN/mm), especially suitable for testing FRC and sprayed concrete
Double testing mode: parallel and orthogonal 
For testing different kind of specimens (beams, flagstones, slab)
Max span between lower rollers: 1m
Load measurement by load cell or pressure transducer
Piston return by counterweights
Piston travel limit switch included
