Flexure Testing Machine Digital (Product Code: SLE/CE/02) is an automatic, digitally controlled load frame used to measure the flexural and transverse strength of concrete beams, kerbs, flagstones and interlocking pavers in civil engineering laboratories. It comes with a 100 kN or 200 kN welded steel frame and a dual-stage power pack that loads specimens at 1 kN/s to 20 kN/s. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for college and quality-control labs.

Pavement slabs, kerbs and beams fail in bending long before they crush, so their flexural strength matters as much as cube strength. With the right accessory fitted to the frame, this machine loads a beam in bending, a kerb or flagstone transversely, or a paver in indirect tension, and the controller holds the chosen rate until failure while plotting load against time.
The power pack uses a low-pressure pump to bring the ram quickly onto the specimen and then switches to a high-pressure radial piston pump for the test itself, which keeps loading smooth and quiet. Because the ram returns under dead weight rather than by pumped pressure, the load cell reading is not disturbed. Laboratories looking for engineering lab equipment in India can also link the frame to a compatible compression testing machine as a second frame.
This flexure testing machine is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana. ScienceLab sources the machine and its test accessories for civil engineering departments, road and building material laboratories and dealers in India and international markets, and coordinates quotation, packing and dispatch in one place. Questions about spare parts or accessories later on can also be sent to us. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Which tests can the Flexure Testing Machine Digital perform?
The Flexure Testing Machine Digital runs flexural tests on standard concrete beams, transverse tests on kerbs and flagstones, and indirect tensile tests on concrete and interlocking pavers. Each test needs its own accessory fitted to the frame, so tell us which tests you plan.
What frame capacities are available?
The Flexure Testing Machine Digital is offered with a 100 kN or a 200 kN frame. Both are welded steel assemblies with the ram in the upper crosshead, load-cell measurement and dead-weight piston return; piston stroke is listed as 75 mm and 100 mm.
Can the flexure frame be connected to a compression testing machine?
Yes, the frame of the Flexure Testing Machine Digital is designed to be connected to a compatible compression testing machine as a second frame. Tell us the make and model of your existing machine so compatibility can be confirmed before you order.
Are the flexural and transverse test accessories included?
The Flexure Testing Machine Digital frame accepts the accessories for flexural and transverse tests, but the set supplied depends on the specimens you test. List your beam, kerb, flagstone or paver sizes in the enquiry and the quotation will state exactly what is included.
Who supplies the Flexure Testing Machine Digital?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), based in Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Flexure Testing Machine Digital to engineering colleges, material testing laboratories and dealers in India and international markets, handling quotations and dispatch directly.
Is a calibration certificate provided?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Flexure Testing Machine Digital should be discussed with us before ordering. Share your laboratory's requirement through the contact page and we will confirm what documentation can accompany the machine.
What power pack does the machine use?
The Flexure Testing Machine Digital uses a quiet 750 W dual-stage power pack holding 25 litres of oil, with a fast approach speed of 60–100 mm/min and a maximum pressure valve that protects the frame from overloading.
To receive a quotation for the Flexure Testing Machine Digital, send the frame capacity, required accessories and quantity through the contact page, or add the machine to the enquiry cart with the rest of your concrete lab list.
