EN-13230-2 Concrete Sleeper Flexure bending Testing Machine

The basic principle and structure of sleeper bending static load testing machine

Sleeper bending static load testing machine is a professional test equipment used to test the bending strength of sleepers. The basic principle is to test the bending strength of the sleeper by applying a static load to simulate the bending stress caused by the rail train load on the sleeper. The device consists of two test plates, the upper and lower plates, which are responsible for applying vertical loads, and the lower plate, which is the support surface on which the sleepers are loaded, and the lower plates, which are usually composed of multiple metal balls to simulate stones on the track.

UnitedTest CWF series Flexure Testing Machine  mainly used to check the static load bending/flexural test of concrete sleeper, include III type sleeper, cross sleeper, bridge sleeper, wide railway sleeper etc., quickly and accuracy check the flexural strength.
Frame is tower structure, with high stiffness and stability. Add the extra accessories can do bending fatigue test also. With the completely protection system, no splash when sample break.

Conform with international standard of TS 205-1, EN ISO 7438, EN 14730-1, TS EN 13230-2, TS EN 14587-2:2009etc.,
