4. Select menu, "Compressive Strength," on the Operator Panel
(Figure 8.1, Item 6) and press the “Measurement” Button (Figure
8.1, Item 1) on the enclosure door to begin testing.
The Piston extends downwards and exerts a force on the test specimen
until it breaks. The maximum breaking force required relates to the
compressive strength in N/cm
2
and is shown on the display.
5. After completion of the measurement, remove the Pedestal and
Sand Chute and clean off any sand deposits.
6.2.4 Splitting 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.
