Compression Testing Machines (CTM) · Canan Testing
Our product range includes a wide range of compression testing machines: industrial and mechanical CTMs, electronic compression testing machines, computer controlled and digital compression testing machines. Capacities run from 500 kN to 5000 kN with loading accuracy within plus or minus 1 percent.
A CTM machine is essential for checking the compressive strength of concrete cubes and cylinders, cement mortar cubes, bricks, blocks, pavers and rock samples. We supply, install, service and calibrate CTMs as per IS 14858 and ISO 7500-1.

Know the machine
A compression testing machine (CTM) loads a specimen in compression until it fails and records the maximum load, from which compressive strength is calculated. It is used every day to accept concrete and cement, and to qualify bricks, blocks, pavers, stone and other construction materials.
Key choices are capacity (typically 1000 to 5000 kN), the type of frame (standard or rigid four-column for high-strength concrete) and the display: analogue, digital with peak hold, or computerised with graphs and reports. Steady loading at the rate specified by IS 516 is essential for reliable results.
The price of a CTM depends on capacity, manual or motorised pumping, analogue, digital or computerised display and accessories. See our CTM machine price guide.
Complete range: CTE, CTE 4C and CTE PRO compression testing machines from 500 kN to 5000 kN, and the CCS-10 cold crushing strength tester.

CTM stands for compression testing machine. It applies a compressive load to a specimen, typically a concrete cube or cylinder, until failure and records the maximum load to calculate compressive strength.
For 150 mm cubes, a 2000 kN (200 tonne) CTM covers most concrete grades. Higher grades and cylinders may need 3000 kN or more.
IS 516 specifies a loading rate of 140 kg/cm² per minute (about 14 N/mm² per minute) for cubes. Motorised and digital CTMs help maintain a steady rate.
Yes. See CTM machine calibration as per IS 14858 and ISO 7500-1.
