LS-CM3000P Automated Concrete Compression Machine (3000 kN) is a concrete compression testing machine for ASTM C39, EN 12390-3, AASHTO T22 workflows. The configuration combines servo-hydraulic loading, guarded test space, programmable load rates, and digital reporting for QC laboratories that need repeatable break workflows.
Designed for continuous lab and field operation with stable precision.

LS-CM3000P is a 3000 kN automatic concrete compression testing machine and load frame for laboratories measuring the compressive strength of hardened concrete. Review ASTM C39 for cylinder testing and EN 12390-3 for the project-specified hardened-concrete method. Cube and cylinder configurations require different checks on specimen geometry, bearing faces and fixtures. Select the machine using the expected failure load and verified measurement range as well as its maximum capacity.
Specify cube side length, expected strength and the required method. A 150 mm cube at 80 MPa produces an estimated 1800 kN failure load; at 100 MPa the estimate is 2250 kN. These examples compare required force, not guaranteed specimen compatibility. Confirm platen coverage, test-space clearance and the verified force range.
Specify cylinder diameter and height together, including any caps or end-preparation fixtures. A 150 mm diameter cylinder at 80 MPa produces an estimated 1414 kN failure load. Its height still determines the required vertical clearance and spacer arrangement. ASTM C39 covers cylindrical specimens; follow the applicable edition for specimen preparation and testing.
Confirm the calibrated force range, load-rate control and required report fields for the quoted configuration. Provide specimen identification, dimensions and expected strength when defining a demonstration test. Request the installation drawing and electrical requirements before preparing the laboratory space.
Calculate the expected failure load from loaded area multiplied by expected strength, then verify the calibrated force range, frame clearance and fixture configuration. Capacity alone does not confirm suitability for every specimen.
A suitable configuration can cover both workflows, but the specimen height, bearing area, platens, spacers and end preparation must be checked for each. Specify the cube dimensions and cylinder diameter and height when selecting the equipment.
Review the cylinder dimensions, bearing-block arrangement, end-preparation method, calibrated load range, loading control and test-record requirements against the applicable ASTM C39 edition. The configuration and verification documents should identify the supplied machine.
