DFG Concrete Indicator



DESCRIPTION


An accurate, easy-to-use, robust digital force indicator for concrete testing

Introduction - As an accredited testing lab, servicing the concrete industry, you rely on testing systems to meet your clients’ requirements. Specifically the concrete testing machine digital indicator is a key element to delivering accurate, reliable test results. 

Based upon 20 years of experience in the concrete industry this new product delivers consistent results according to  AASHTO and ASTM concrete and cement testing specifi- cations using a simple, easy to use interface that minimizes operator error. 

When AASHTO, CCRL, or your customer requests proof of test execution the DFG provides two answers; the calculated test rate and the plot of the test curve. Your customer’s requirements can be met with two modes of operation; the Full Mode for maximum flexibility or the  simple Quick Mode to maximize efficiency and minimize operator interaction. Full Mode allows modification of all testing parameters   while Quick Mode streamlines setup to minimize keystrokes.

In summary the DFG Concrete Indicator provides unrivaled performance, irrefutable accuracy and operational simplicity to concrete testing at a low cost.

Applications - The DFG Concrete Indicator is expertly designed for performing the following tests:

ASTM C39 Compressive Strength of Concrete Cylinders

ASTM C78 Flexural Strength of Beams - 3rd pt Loading

ASTM C109 Compressive Strength of Cement Mortars

ASTM C293 Flexural Strength of Beams - Center Loading

ASTM C496 Splitting Tensile Strength - Concrete Cylinders

Highlighted Features - In Quick Mode the DFG automatically defines the test parameter settings for the operator in accordance with published specifications. Additionally, when “Hands-Free” operation is selected the DFG will automatically collect data from each test without the operator touching the keypad, this reduces testing time, minimizes errors and ensures that no data is lost.

Additional features include an Auto-Test-Reset mode for hands free operation, bar graph load rate display, permanent storage of test data and easy transfer of results into data base programs. It’s accuracy, which exceeds ASTM E4, ease-of-use and ruggedness results in a system of unrivaled price/performance. We offers a line of load cells, pressure transducers , so that you can upgrade your testing machine and quickly and accurately perform your concrete tests.
