Description

The PCT 030 is a bench dedicated to assessing the performances of construction materials used in housing.

The bench is thermally isolated. Several types of samples of materials of construction are provided.

The bench consists of an electrical box with control pushbuttons, digital display, and regulator allowing to perform the complete study of the developed pedagogical themes.

The unit is delivered complete, instrumented with means of measures and means of data acquisition and processing

The robust design of this equipment makes it perfectly suited for use in schools.

Its anodized aluminum structure on wheels makes it extremely robust as well as great flexibility of integration into your premises. The manufacturing of this equipment meets the European machine directive.

This equipment can be used alone or with other compatible devices in our range (see last section of this document).
