The image shows a setup for a pull-out test using an Enerpac hydraulic hand pump and cylinder.
Here’s what you need to know about pull-out testing:
Purpose:
Pull-out tests are used to determine the strength of anchors, rebars, or other fasteners embedded in concrete or other base materials. This information is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of buildings and other structures.
Procedure:*
The hydraulic pump is used to generate pressure, which is then transmitted to the cylinder. The cylinder, in turn, applies a pulling force to the anchor or rebar being tested. The force is gradually increased until failure occurs, and the maximum force sustained is recorded as the pull-out strength.
Applications:
Pull-out tests are commonly used in construction, civil engineering, and other fields where anchors and fasteners are critical structural components.
Benefits of using a hydraulic hand pump:
Portable: Hand pumps are lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for on-site testg
