Matest products range for test on steel includes universal electromechanical and hydraulic machines to perform tensile, compression, flexural, bending and resilience tests on metallic materials (i.e. control test on steel bars for reinforced  concrete). These equipments can also be used to carry out tests on plastic, composed and textiles materials, wires, ropes, paper and rubber.

Special voltages and Hz versions are available upon request (i.e. 115 V–60 Hz, 230 V-60 Hz, 115 V-50 Hz, three phase feeding 230 V-60 Hz).

Hydraulic Servo-Controlled Testing Machines

Universal machines are designed to meet multiple needs. For this reason Matest offers several models with different capacities that, in combination with specific accessories, are suitable for performing numerous types of tests: tensile tests on steel specimens with various diameters, compression and bending tests on concrete specimens of different sizes.

Universal Automatic Tensile Testing Machines

The Universal automatic tensile testing machines for steel is designed to meet requirements of works, laboratories and universities for quality control and research purposes. This system is suitable to test metallic round and flat rebars, to determine tension, compression, bending shear strength and to determine compression and flexure strength on concrete.

Electromechanical Servo-Controlled Universal Machines

These machine are suitable to make tensile and elongation tests in Laboratories for Quality Control and research on different materials, such as metals, plastics, composed materials, wires, ropes, paper, textiles, etc.For each testing purpose, suitable machine range, seizing grips and accessories must be selected.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Strong base containing the transmission components and the Hardware control instruments
  • Two big diameter and high resistance steel columns with ground hard chrome surfacing granting a high lateral rigidity.
  • Possibility to execute tests in both directions.
  • 2 re-circulating spheres screws with pre-loaded female screws that grant no clearance to the cross-bar movement.
  • Big section cross-bar granting high stiffness (see UNI ISO 5893 Standards).
  • Sintered bushes with low friction coefficient cross-bar movement.

Universal Educational Testing Machine

The machine has been designed to measure strength of metallic materials and study the various reactions they undergo when subject to different stresses, verifying the same with the following tests:

  • Tensile test
  • Shear test
  • Compression test
  • Flexural test
  • Brinell hardness
This machine is primarily for educational purposes and intended for the use in higher educational institutes or universities and allows students of material science to have a hands-on approach to applications so far studied at a theoretic level only.

Universal Frames

Universal Multipurpose Touch-screen Frames for tensile, compression and flexural tests.

By using suitale devices, they are able to perform tests on various materials, such as concrete, cement, rocks and soil. They are equipped with automatic load or displacement/deformation control.

Electronic Extensometers for Tensile Deformation Strength Tests 

This Electronic extensometers are used to measure the longitudinal deformations of the specimen when the machine is performing the test. They are suitable for all the Universal Automatic Tensile Testing Machine, from mod. H001A to mod. H001D.

Marking-Off Machines

This machines are used to mark off steel specimens with round, square and flat shape. They are available in the hand operated and automatic motorized version.

Cold Bend Testing Machine

This bending machine is composed of a rugged frame supporting a beam having a cylinder with relevant load piston fixed on it, being activated by an hydraulic cell complete with speed adjuster for the piston, direction control valve, max. pressure valve, control gauge.


Pendulum Impact Charpy Testers for Resilience Tests

The Charpy impact test determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture.
