[Portable Tension Testers to 20kN]  [Portable Tension Testers to 90kN]

Portable Tension Testers - to 90kN
A Compact Portable Testmeter for Proof or Ultimate Load Testing of a Wide Range of Heavy Duty Fixings.



The 90kN range of Mastrad Heavy Duty Tester, with interchangeable 30 and 90kN gauges, has been designed to meet the demand for proof and ultimate load testing of the larger construction fixings.

An optional Heavy Duty Load Spreading Bridge directs reaction loads away from the fixing while the accompanying Pulling Frame enables fixings to be tested in a realistic condition to demonstrate first movement and clamping force.

Load application is achieved via a ratchet handle driving a 4:1 hydraulic multiplier; the applied load being recorded directly on a gauge mounted on the tester body. This results in a compact design which is lighter and more convenient to use than separate hydraulic pump and ram arrangements.

Integral movement indication is provided allowing "First movement" to be identified as well as total displacement before failure.
