Testing Harness RangeTinius Olsen introduces a new line of Hardness Testers. These new testers comprises over nine frames, and multiple variations on those frames, that test on almost all scales, including Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, micro Vickers, macro Vickers, and Knoop; the series also includes five Universal testers. All frames feature precision loadcell based measurements rather than dead weight loading, touch screens to aid user friendliness and increase the learning curve slope, connectivity through USB and WiFi, and the ability to consolidate resultant data with other TO test machine results within the Horizon software program.

Before learning about Aggregate Polishing Machine, a question strikes our mind that why do we need Polished Aggregates (Stones) and what is Polished Stone Value?

  • The Polished Stone Value provides a measure of the resistance of road aggregates to polishing under the action of vehicle tyres on a road surface, paving stones & paving blocks and giving a measure of the resistance to Skidding. Aggregate Polishing Machine polishes samples of Aggregates. It is a fundamental test which is often used when selecting aggregates for Road Surfacing materials.

Tinius Olsen manufactures state of the art Aggregate Polishing Machine. Specimens are manufactured in accurately machined and matched moulds. They are then removed from the moulds and located on the 'Road Wheel'. The wheel is now rotated and enters in contact with solid rubber tyre, spring loaded. Abrasive charges are continuously fed by mechanical feeders at fixed speed. Feed rates for corn emery and flour emery are as per British and American standards. The water is supplied at a controlled rate through a water container. Used water and abrasives are collected in a large removable tray. Electrical Supply is protected by the Thermal cutouts and emergency stop button.

Suitable for operation on 220V, 50Hz, Single phase, AC Supply.


Features:

  • High Safety Standards.
  • Satisfies the proposed British (BS812) and ASTM (D3319) Standards.
  • Sealed long life bearings.
  • Sealed control bearings.
  • Heavy welded steel mainframe with adjustable pads.
  • Specimens manufactured and easily removed from accurately machined moulds.
  • Water gravity fed from high level tank through calibrated flow meter.

Another new evolution, in the field of indicators available for Tinius Olsen and other manufacturers concrete compression testing machines, is ECO II. Version II of our successful ECO head will display a live force reading during the test and report peak stress along with peak force when test is complete.

Key features of ECO II are:                                                                                                

-  User enters test specimen area before starting a test, it’s stored.

-  During the test, the real time force value is displayed.

- When the test is complete the display automatically alternates between peak force and peak stress results.                                    

TO ECO II head is supplied with TO 4 pillar compression machines and is also available for retrofits.

 

 

 

 

Key features and functionality

• 4 digit display.                                                                                                                

• Force units are factory set to your choice of English/imperial, Metric or SI indicated by LED.

• Force calibration range 1% to 100% with an accuracy +\- 1% of applied force.

• Specimen area input.

• Instantaneous force displayed during test.

• Result Peak Force and peak Stress.

• 4 user keys; Start Stop, Zero and Set Break Point.                                                                                                

• User defined Break Detect.

• Mains power and off line battery capability.

• Integral SSR for adaptation to pumping units.

• 10 point dynamic calibration.

World Of Concrete logoAs the summer winds down and its almost time to start planning for the fall and winter activities, we’d like to remind you early on that the 38th exhibition of World of Concrete is coming up at the beginning of 2012; the show dates are January 24 – 27. Tinius Olsen is exhibiting on booth #N1816 and will be showing some of our most popular testing products.

At past shows many visitors have made comments like “I didn’t know you were in this business”, in fact Tinius Olsen is probably the oldest testing equipment manufacturer at the show and has been manufacturing, calibrating and servicing testing machines since 1880. Elsewhere on this website you can find a copy of our older sales literature designed for testing concrete, but don’t forget to mark your calendar in late January with a visit to our booth at WOC.
