Key takeaways
  • The ForLab P150T tests compression and flexure in a single machine: blocks, pavers, hollow-core slabs, tiles and kerbs.
  • Compression up to 150 kN and flexure of 5,000 N or 50 kN depending on the piece, with a margin of error below 1%.
  • Touchscreen control in English, Spanish and French; automatic report with the average of 6 tests.

The ForLab P150T is an all-in-one flexural and compression lab testing machine, able to test a wide range of concrete pieces: blocks, pavers, ceiling blocks, tiles, kerbstones... It's equipped with an ATOS valve, proportional pressure control enabling external certification.

Technical features

  • Flow and pressure control.
  • Error below 1%, with online control module.
  • Machine control via touchscreen, with adjustment of all test parameters.
  • Report including the average values of 6 tests.
  • Selectable piece and client for the report.
  • Screen in English, Spanish and French.
  • External dimensions: 1.70 m (length) x 1.90 m (height) x 1.20 m (width).
  • Weight: 2,630 kg.

Tests it can perform

  • 5,000 N flexural test: for pieces from 5 to 30 cm high, up to 40 cm wide and 100 cm long (ceiling blocks and tiles).
  • 50 kN flexural test: kerbstones (T1, T2 and T3).
  • Compression test up to 150 kN: for pieces 5 to 30 cm high (discs required depending on height), blocks with a base of up to 500 x 300 mm, pavers, square specimens (15 x 15 cm) and cylindrical specimens (Ø 15 x 30 cm), among others.
