Hello everyone i hope you are having a great day !
In our Laboratory We have a 60 ton hydraulic press with pressure sensor and extensiometer installed on it. the machine have a great traveling ability up to 1 meter. the main purpose of buying this equipment was something else and now the management wants to do standard tests (like ASTM) . The question is what types of ASTM test like bending or compression(e.g. concrete compression) can be done using this equipment?

Contact the manufacturer to see what other tests they know it can perform. There are limits to the low and high end of pressure readings on any machine like this. A typical concrete compression testing machine should not be relied upon for accurate results below around 5 percent of the rating and should not be loaded into the top 10 percent. So, a 500,000 pound machine should not be loaded above 450,000 lbs and should not be used for sensitive loads below 25,000 lbs.
