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.
