Universal Sand Strength Testing Machine

The Universal Sand Strength Testing Machine consists of three major parts; frame, pendulum weight and pusher arm. The pusher arm is motivated by means of a small handwheel, which, through a gearbox, rotates a pinion engaged in a rack on the quadrant. The pendulum weight swings on a ball bearing and can be moved by the pusher arm, via test specimen, from a vertical position, with a consequent increase of a load on the test specimen. A magnetic bar is moved up the calibrated scale by the pendulum weight and indicates the point at which the specimen collapses. The machine can be calibrated in g / cm3.
