Concrete

For over two decades, ADMET has been a leader in supplying digital indicators, controllers and software for concrete compression testing machines. ADMET automatic compression testing systems are the workhorses in the industry. Many of our customers test over 30,000 concrete cylinders per year with the peace of mind that the compressive strength of each cylinder is being determined according to ASTM C39 specifications.  ADMET also offers more sophisticated materials testing systems for testing the flexural performance of fiber-reinforced concrete according to ASTM C1609.

Our digital indicators were the first to:

  • Display real-time load vs. time curves
  • Calculate Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio according to ASTM C469
  • Display loading rates numerically and indicate when rates fall outside specified limits
  • Report the actual test rate on a report and the first to include the C39 Stress Correction Factor for concrete compression testing
In the last decade, we began offering servo controlled concrete compression testing machines (20,000 to 600,000 Lb capacities) equipped with ADMET’s MegaForce Automatically Controlled Hydraulic Power Unit. The MegaForce design provides a low cost solution for error free automatic testing of concrete cylinders, beams and cubes. For those that already have a concrete compression testing machine and want to save some money, we can retrofit MegaForce to existing concrete compression testing machines.

ADMET also offers Concrete Traker, a low cost (<$1,000) database program that combines strength results from your concrete compression testing machine with field, mix design, and client data to produce compressive strength reports. Every morning you can create a report that lists the samples to be tested that day. At the end of the day, you can generate a report that lists the samples tested with the low strength cylinders highlighted. You can also generate a statistical summary for a particular mix design. ADMET digital indicators further simplify the reporting process by automatically downloading and importing strength results from concrete compression testing machines into the database.
