Splitting Fixtures for Indirect Tensile Testing of Rock and Concrete
Metal Testing Equipment
Heavy-Duty Splitting Fixtures for Rock and Composite Shear Testing
NextGen’s category of high-capacity splitting fixtures is engineered for shear and splitting tests on rock, concrete, and composite specimens. These fixtures are purpose-built for use with hydraulic universal testing machines in demanding environments such as geotechnical labs, mining research centers, and structural materials testing facilities. Designed for compatibility with international standards like GB/T 23561.11, they ensure precise and repeatable performance under loads up to 2000 kN or more.
Each fixture in this category features rugged construction, secure mounting systems (including flanges and positioning pins), and flexible specimen accommodation—supporting standard sizes such as Φ50×50 mm and 50×50×50 mm. Whether testing natural rock or engineered composites, these solutions provide the mechanical stability and test consistency required for accurate material analysis.
NGA206B – Rock Shear Fixture
The NGA206B Rock Shear Fixture is a high-capacity splitting system designed specifically for shear strength testing of rock specimens. With a rated capacity of ≤ 2000 kN, it supports both cylindrical and cubic sample formats, ensuring versatility across geological testing laboratories. The fixture conforms to GB/T 23561.11 standards and is designed for use under ambient temperature conditions. Its dual-grip system (flange on top and positioning pin on bottom) ensures stability and accuracy throughout each test cycle.
