Universal specimen grinding machine for drilling core
and concrete cylinder
Plane-parallel compression areas are a crucial precondition for precisely carried out compressive strength tests of high-strength concrete and high-performance concrete as well as aggregate and rock samples. The standards EN 12390-3 and EN 12504-1 require that the dimensions of test specimens have to comply with the specifications stipulated in EN 12390-1 as far as the planeness achieved by grinding the final surfaces is concerned.
For this specimen preparation of the drilling cores and test cylinders, Form + Test Prüfsysteme (Riedlingen, Germany) has designed the new specimen grinding machine...
