Concrete is a man-made material, essentially mixed at site. The properties of concrete depend on the properties of its ingredients and their proportion and it is likely to vary from mix to mix. Test must be conducted, therefore, to ensure that the concrete used is in accordance with design specifications.

Enkay Series compression testing machines are the finest of their type obtainable. The rugged construction and extreme simplicity make it possible for even non-technical personnel to operate them with ease and complete dependability. In particular, the portable units, which are small in dimension, sturdy and light in weight, make quality control testing possible in areas where commercial testing facilities are not available and where the transportation of larger and much heavier machines would be difficult.

Enkay Compression testing machines conform to IS:14858(2000) and calibrated with an accuracy of ±1% as per the requirement of 1828 (grade A). It can also be supplied as per BS : 1881 and other associated international standards. These machines are available in 50kN, 100kN, 1000kN, 2000kN, 3000kN, 5000kN & 10,000kN capacities.
