Flexure Testing Machine Manual
Flexure Testing Machine Manual (Product Code: SLE/CE/06) is a motorised mechanical tester used to determine the flexural strength of 40 x 40 x 160 mm mortar prisms by single-point loading in cement and concrete laboratories. Load is applied through a three-roller attachment at 4 to 6 kg/s and read on a proving ring fitted with a sensitive dial gauge, so no electronics are needed to take a reading. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM TVET lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Mortar Flexure Testing Machine Used For?
Cement and mortar are graded partly on flexural strength, measured on small prisms. The prism is laid across the two lower rollers, the third roller is brought down onto its centre, and the motor drives the load up at a steady rate until the prism snaps. The operator notes the dial gauge reading at failure and converts it to load for that proving ring, from which flexural strength is worked out.
Because the machine is purely mechanical, it suits polytechnic and university practicals where students should see how load, deflection and strength relate. Keep the rollers clean and free of mortar crumbs, set the loading speed before each series, and handle the proving ring and dial gauge with care, since they carry the measurement.
OEM Manufacturer
This flexure testing machine is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). The frame, drive and roller attachment are made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and each machine is supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, cement and construction laboratories, dealers and importers.
Ordering from the manufacturer means spares such as rollers, repeat units and technical questions are dealt with by the people who build the machine — ask us. Company details are on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specimen does the Flexure Testing Machine Manual test?
The Flexure Testing Machine Manual tests 40 x 40 x 160 mm mortar prisms for flexural strength by single-point loading. The prism rests on two 10 mm rollers 100 mm apart while a third roller loads it at the centre of the opposite face.
How is load measured on this flexure machine?
On the Flexure Testing Machine Manual, load is measured with a proving ring fitted with a sensitive dial gauge. The dial reading at failure is converted to load for that ring, so the machine needs no electronic display.
Is the Flexure Testing Machine Manual motor driven?
Yes. Despite the word manual in its name, the Flexure Testing Machine Manual is a motorised mechanical unit; the speed is adjusted so the load on the specimen rises at 4 to 6 kg/s. The load itself is read by eye on the proving ring dial gauge.
What power supply does the machine need?
The Flexure Testing Machine Manual runs on a 230 V, single phase, 50 cycles AC supply. If your laboratory uses a different mains supply, mention it in your enquiry so we can confirm what can be offered.
Who manufactures the Flexure Testing Machine Manual?
The Flexure Testing Machine Manual is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions, laboratories, dealers and importers.
Is a calibration certificate available for the proving ring?
Calibration-certificate availability for the proving ring on the Flexure Testing Machine Manual should be discussed with us before ordering. Tell us your laboratory's requirement through the contact page and we will confirm what can be supplied.
