CC-300 Concrete Load Frame DURHAM GEO SLOPE INDICATOR

Load Indicators for Concrete Compression Testing Machines.

The load frame requires a load indicator which must be ordered separately. Models Basic and Basic Plus are preferred
when data does not need to be stored in memory or downloaded to spreadsheets. These displays are economical choices
for laboratories or job sites with low to medium sample volumes. Models Premium and Premium Plus offer enhanced fea-
tures as listed below. The accuracy of all indicators listed here exceed ASTM E 4 requirements.
