The compact single unit design offers a large surface area on the lower platen and
a 9" (229 mm) wide horizontal opening between the steel uprights. All hydraulic
pump operating controls are mounted on the front of the unit for easy access, and
the built-in overload protection provides machine and operator safety.
Supplied complete with standard platens, the ACCU-TEKTM 250 machines can test
6" x 12" (152 x 305 mm) cylinders, using either the capping compound or capping
pad methods. Included attachments make it easy to perform tests on 2” (50 mm)
cube samples.
The complete system meets ASTM C-109, C-39 and AASHTO T-22 specifications
covering the design and accuracy of hydraulic testing machines.
