Product Code : TVT-CTE-10434
The 100mm Cube Lower Platen Piece from Tvet Equipments is a hardened, polished compression machine accessory that adapts a standard compression testing machine to accurately test 100 mm concrete cube specimens.
How It Works
The platen piece sits on the compression machine's base platen, providing a polished testing surface with a cube-locating guide indication that positions a 100 mm cube specimen centrally and squarely for loading. Its hardened surface, over 55 HRC, resists wear and deformation from repeated compression testing, helping maintain accurate, consistent results over the platen's service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What standard governs 100mm cube testing?
ASTM C39, IS 516 and EN 12390-4 all permit 100 mm cube compressive strength testing as an alternative to the standard 150 mm cube.
Q2. Why is the platen surface hardened?
A hardness over 55 HRC resists wear and deformation from repeated compression loading, helping the platen maintain accurate, flat contact with test specimens over time.
Q3. Does this platen fit any compression machine?
It is designed as an accessory for compatible compression testing machines with a matching base platen configuration — confirm compatibility with your specific machine model before ordering.
