Our Tester Range
The Hydrajaws fixing tester comprises of a hydraulic cylinder contained within an aluminium body and connected to a turning handle. At the opposite end is an attachment for securing the fixing, while a dial type pressure gauge with maximum load pointer gives a reading of the loading as it is progressively applied through rotation of the handle. Two models are available - the popular medium duty model with maximum capacity of 25 kN and the heavy duty version of 145 kN.
The testers are designed to suit the requirements of various testing procedures and standards including BS5080 and the construction fixings association (CFA) in respect of installed fixings. Testers are in kit form complete with carrying case and all the necessary accessories including a load spreading bridge. The latter item is of special significance as it provides an unsupported area around the fixings, so giving a true value of both the mechanical efficiency of the anchor itself and the strength of the concrete or masonry into which it has been installed. This is of special importance where old buildings are concerned.
Fixings which may be accommodated include stud projections, threaded inserts, eyebolts for safety harnesses, scaffold ring bolts, remedial wall ties and other fixing systems for which selection of adaptors are available.
