AMSTHE TERMENOLIGIES

A test used to determine the workability and consistency of fresh concrete by measuring the vertical slump of a cone of wet concrete.

A test used to measure the maximum compressive force a concrete sample can withstand before failing, usually performed on cylindrical or cubic samples

A test used to determine the bending strength of a concrete beam, reflecting the material's ability to withstand flexural stress.

A test used to determine the hardness and resistance of aggregates to wear and tear, especially for road surfaces and pavements

Used to measure the crushing strength of aggregates, which indicates their resistance to crushing under gradually applied compressive loads.

A test used to assess the ability of cement to retain its volume after setting, ensuring it does not undergo excessive expansion or cracking.

A test to measure the tensile strength of cylindrical concrete specimens, determining their ability to resist cracking under tension.

A test performed on steel samples to measure the maximum stress the material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking.

A test to determine the water absorption capacity of bricks, which indicates the porosity and density of the material.

It is a versatile piece of equipment used to test the mechanical properties of materials, such as their tensile, compressive, and flexural strength.
