The CM-2500 has all of the features you look for in a basic compression testing machine.

The load frame features our wrap-around box construction, with each corner fully welded on both the inside and outside crosshead seams, for the rugged stability needed for accurate and repeatable test results, year after year. The load frame is also protected with our unique baked on, powder-coated painting process, for a durable finish that will also keep it looking good for years to come.

The machine's digital indicator, loading control valve, and hydraulic pump are positioned on the right side of the load frame for easy accessibility, increased productivity, and safer operation by positioning the operator to the side of the load frame opening during testing.

Featuring a superior rate of load control, its unique, quiet running, continuous-duty hydraulic pump and pressure-compensated loading control valve, are manufactured to ISO 9100 international quality standards.

Standard safety features include: steel fragment guard doors on both frame openings and a high-pressure hydraulic safety valve, which prevents the machine from operating beyond its maximum capacity.

Optional safety features include: a piston over-extension limit switch for all models and an electronic overload protection switch that automatically turns the hydraulic pump off at either sample failure or when the machine reaches its maximum capacity (iD model only).

Optional accessories include: test platen and spacer sets for testing a wide range of specimen types, a cylinder loading shelf, heavy-duty machine mounting stand, and ¾ hp hydraulic pump.

All models in the CM-2500 Series meet ASTM C-39, E-4, and AASHTO T22 specifications.

Warranty is 2 years on parts and labor.

Cylinder Loading Shelf Option

This inexpensive option makes it safer and easier to set up, load, and unload 6" (150 mm) cylinders with pad caps.

The heavy-duty steel shelf features a plastic laminated top so cylinder and retainer rings slide smoothly onto the lower test platen for easy centering in the load frame. The load frame is predrilled for easy installation of shelf. The kit includes mounting shelf and bolts.

Electrical requirements are 110V, 60 Hz, 1 ph. Please specify 220V, 50/60 Hz.

** Supplied with machine-mounting stand
