6.2.3 Compression Strength Measurement
1. Prepare a test specimen as specified in Section 6.2.1.
2. Place the Sand Chute (Figure 8.1, Item 13) over the top of the
Pedestal (Figure 8.1, Item 14), secure with set screws on both
sides, and place the Pedestal in its position, centered on the
Minilab Base Plate (Figure 8.1, Item 9).
Use of the Sand Chute in the previous step is not absolutely necessary,
but it greatly simplifies cleaning after the measurement.
3. Center the flat surface of the prepared test specimen on the
Pedestal and close the Protection Doors (Figure 8.1, Item 5)
(see Figure 6.2.2).
