Block Test Compression Platen Set Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-CTE-10435
The Block Test Compression Platen Set from Tvet Equipments adapts a 2000 kN compression machine with a rectangular 500 x 270 mm platen to accurately test concrete or masonry block specimens.
How It Works
The rectangular platen set is fitted to a compatible 2000 kN compression machine in place of the standard cube/cylinder platens, giving a testing surface sized for full-face loading of block-shaped masonry units. The platen surface is hardened over 55 HRC and finished with polish grinding, ensuring flat, wear-resistant contact for accurate, repeatable compressive strength results across repeated block testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What standard governs block compression testing?
ASTM C140 and IS 2185 both specify compressive strength testing of concrete masonry units and blocks using full-face platens like this set.
Q2. What compression machine capacity is this platen set designed for?
It is designed to be fitted to a compatible 2000 kN compression machine.
Q3. Why is the platen surface hardened and polished?
A hardness over 55 HRC with a polished finish resists wear from repeated block testing, helping maintain flat, accurate platen contact over the equipment's service life.
