Pi Peak Load Indicator

Simple, Low Cost, and Accurate.

An easy-to-use Indicator to Accurately Measure Peak Load and Stress
The Pi Digital Indicator is a simple but effective solution for determining the strength of materials or products in tension, compression or flexure. Typical applications include: concrete cylinder testing according to ASTM C39, cement cube testing according to ASTM
C109, concrete beam testing according to ASTM C78, measuring
peak load or stress in tension or compression, measuring pull-out or
push-in forces, remote on-site testing, and proof load testing.
Match a load cell or pressure transducer to the Pi Indicator and connect to a mechanical testing machine to create a rugged, easy-touse testing system for measuring strength. The Pi Indicator features a 16 character display, three button keypad and exceeds ASTM
E4 force accuracy requirements.

Features
Display load or stress rate in
units per second (optional).

Display live load and peak load
(standard). Display live stress
or peak stress (optional).
