About Tile Flexure Testing Machine
Fabricated as per IS: 1237 and 654, a
Tile Flexure Testing Machine is used to determine the flexural strength of clay roofing tiles and cement concrete flooring tiles. We are one of the leading manufacturers of Tile Flexure Testing Machines. Our machines are manufactured using best raw materials to ensure good functionality and durability.
Functionality : The Tile Flexure Testing Machine is a double lever loading machine where load is placed by a flow of lead metal that automatically stops as the sample breaks. The sample is mounted between rollers which are 40mm or 12mm in dia. Bearing rollers can be placed at center distances of 150, 200 or 270mm. The unit comes equipped with a 20 Kg lead metal.
Versatile Testing CapabilityAccommodating a range of tile sizes up to 300 x 300 mm, the machine is equipped with adjustable supports and gripping fixtures. This flexibility enables accurate testing of diverse ceramic and construction tiles, matching varied production and research needs.
Effortless Operation & Precise ResultsThe digital load indicator simplifies reading results, while the manually adjustable loading rate and hand-operated design make it easy to operate. Clear digital feedback in kilonewtons ensures reliable measurement of flexural strength with 1% accuracy.
Durable Design with User-Centric FeaturesConstructed from mild steel and finished with powder coating, the unit offers strong durability and corrosion resistance. Its compact, bench top form factor enhances portability, making it a practical choice for modern testing laboratories.
FAQs of Tile Flexure Testing Machine:
Q: How does the Tile Flexure Testing Machine operate?
A: The machine operates manually via a hand-operated loading unit, applying uniform, controlled pressure to test the flexural strength of tiles. The digital indicator then displays the measured force in kilonewtons (kN).
Q: What types of tiles can be tested with this machine?
A: This machine can test a variety of ceramic and construction tiles up to a maximum size of 300 x 300 mm, thanks to its adjustable support and gripping fixtures.
Q: When should I calibrate the machine for accurate results?
A: Calibration should be performed regularly or whenever precise accuracy is required. The machine features provision for calibration using a certified proving ring to ensure results within 1% of indicated load.
Q: Where can this testing machine be effectively used?
A: It is specifically designed for laboratory testing environments, ceramic and construction material quality control, as well as for use by manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters in India.
Q: What is the process for conducting a flexure test on tiles?
A: Simply set the tile on the adjustable supports, apply load uniformly by manually operating the handle, and observe the bending force displayed on the digital indicator. Increase the load until the tile breaks to determine its flexural strength.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this machine?
A: The key benefits include reliable, high-accuracy test results, sturdy yet portable construction, easy hand operation, and the ability to accommodate a wide range of tile sizes for comprehensive testing.
