Laboratory Analysis

Concrete laboratory tests: reliable data, confident decisions

We perform laboratory analysis and tests (standard and specialized) to verify performance, compliance and quality of concrete and its components, supporting construction sites, mix design and technical controls.

Why tests are essential

Quality is not assumed: it is measured

Laboratory tests provide certainty and assurance of the successful outcome of site work and correct mix design.

For us, quality is a method:

Nothing is designed only "on paper"

Every mix is verified first on site

And then validated with laboratory tests

We have always operated with professionalism and quality pursuit, because numbers matter more than opinions.

Concrete tests

Certified tests on hardened concrete

Cubic compression

UNI EN 772-1 / UNI EN 12390-4

During fresh concrete controls, we prepare specimens for strength determination.

150 mm side cubic specimens

Identification with unique marks to ensure traceability

Pick-up from site within 48 hours

Water curing at 20 ± 2°C until testing

Certified 3,000 kN press, suitable for specimens up to 200 mm side

Indirect tensile "Brazilian" test

UNI EN 12390-6

The indirect tensile test is performed on cylindrical specimens Ø 150 mm, h 300 mm.

Evaluation of hardened concrete strength

Mixes with hydraulic binders

Support for regulatory compliance

Construction quality

Cylinder preparation follows the same procedure as cubic specimens

Water penetration under pressure

UNI EN 12390-8

Essential test for so-called waterproof concrete. Beton Technology has specific and consolidated experience in this area.

200 mm cubic specimens, cured up to 28 days

72-hour exposure to water at 5 bar pressure

Equivalent to a 50 m water column

Specimen breaking and penetration reading in mm

Specific and consolidated experience

Aggregate tests

Complete analysis on constituent materials

We perform complete tests on aggregates to ensure the quality of materials used in concrete production.

Particle size analysis

UNI EN 933-1

Granulometric tests by wet and dry sieving.

Bulk density and absorption

UNI EN 1097-7

Determination of real bulk density of aggregates and absorption using basket or pycnometer method.

Fines and sand quality

UNI EN 933-8 / UNI EN 933-9

Quantity and quality of sand fines, Methylene blue, Methylene blue value (g dye absorbed/kg fraction).

Sand equivalent

UNI EN 933-8

Determination of sand equivalent of 0/2 mm fraction. SE value calculated as sediment height (%) relative to total height.
