Introduction
In the field of cement and building-material Testing, laboratories have long been confronted with a practical challenge: different Test subjects such as compression specimens, flexural specimens, prisms, dimension stones and hardened concrete correspond to distinct testing standards, which usually require separate equipment, varied operating procedures and divergent data-management workflows. A single unit supports major standards including ISO 679, DIN 1164, ASTM C109/C109M, ASTM C348, ASTM C349, BS EN 196-1, ASTM C170/C170M, ASTM C880/C880M, EN 12390-5, BS 1881:118, ASTM C78, ASTM C293 and AASHTO T97.
Multi-purpose Single Machine: From Cement Mortar to Hardened Concrete and Dimension Stone
The CTM305DW is applicable to cement, mortar, bricks, concrete and other building materials for mechanical-property evaluation. Equipped with servo-motor acceleration-deceleration control technology, it displays load values, loading speed and loading curves in real-time. Test data can be automatically processed, stored and printed.
Positioned as a general-purpose laboratory-grade platform, this machine covers standards for multiple material categories:
Cement and mortar strength: ISO 679, DIN 1164 (Cement — Test methods — Determination of strength), BS EN 196-1 (Methods of testing cement — Determination of strength)
Flexural strength of hydraulic-cement mortar: ASTM C348
Compressive strength of hydraulic-cement mortar: ASTM C109/C109M; ASTM C349 (using broken prism fragments after flexural failure)
Dimension stone: ASTM C880/C880M (flexural strength), ASTM C170/C170M (compressive strength)
Flexural strength of hardened concrete: EN 12390-5, BS 1881:118, ASTM C78, ASTM C293, AASHTO T97
For third-party inspection institutes and in-house laboratories of cement manufacturers with frequent test-program switching, this means lower capital expenditure on hardware, shorter method-changeover time and standardized data output.
Core Function: Closed-Loop Control as the Key
At the heart of the CTM305DW lies its closed-loop control system. It continuously monitors test progress and dynamically adjusts the loading rate to maintain test conditions specified in standards — a critical feature to guarantee repeatable and traceable measurement results.
Additional functional features are developed around real-world laboratory operating scenarios:
Closed-loop control: Full-process test monitoring with loading-rate adjustment to sustain prescribed test conditions.
Compact & clean layout: Space-saving compact footprint for laboratories. Oil-free drive system keeps the lab environment clean while lowering noise levels.
High-rigidity load frame: Robust high-strength structural frame; extended tabletop provides mounting space for additional jigs and fixtures.
Real-time visualization: Dedicated software accurately tracks the whole test procedure.
Pre-configured test routines: Built-in test methods for cement mortar, concrete prisms and dimension stone; user-configurable custom test methods are also supported.
Safety protection: Overload and over-travel protection safeguard operators and equipment.
Customizable reports: User-editable report templates are available.
Expandability: Test solutions can be easily upgraded later via optional hardware and software modules.
