2" (50mm) Cube Platen Test Sets

Used for testing 2" (50 mm) cubes and 3" (76 mm) diameter cylinders and cores in compression. Cube test set consists of a 3.125" (80mm) diameter, spherically-seated upper platen assembly and a lower pedestal with a 2.83" (72mm) diameter bearing block surface used for positioning the cube sample at the correct height for testing.

The bearing blocks of the upper platen are hardened to 60 HRC and plane to .0005" (.01 mm) and hard plated for corrosion resistance.

The upper bearing block is closely held in its spherical seat, but is free to tilt in any direction and seat securely under load. The bearing blocks are removable and replaceable. The platen is easily installed in the upper crosshead of the load frame and is securely held in place by either the holding stem, hex bolt or draw rod system.

Spacers are required for testing 3" diameter cylinders or cores. Cube pedestal is not used when testing cylinders or cores.
