Surfaces are always in conformance to ASTM or EN. Surfaces are ground plane and parallel within ±0.002" (0.05mm). It is particularly recommended when testing specimens where design strengths exceed 7000 psi (48.3mPa) and eliminates necessity of capping ends. Many different specimen sizes can be accommodated up to a maximum height of 14.5" (370mm). The machine can process at one time any one of the following sizes:

 2x cylinders 6x12" (150x300mm)
