Scaffold Anchor Testing
M2000 Scaffold Tie Tester Kit is configured for commonly used scaffold anchors and fixings. It applies tensile loads up to 25 kN and is described for testing in line with NASC TG4:25 guidance concerning scaffold anchorage systems.
Preliminary and Proof Tests
The listed guidance distinguishes preliminary tests for anchor suitability and allowable loads in a base material from proof tests sampling installed anchors. Buyers should confirm the current procedure, sampling, test load, acceptance criteria, and responsible authority.
Gauge and Bridge
A rechargeable 0 to 25 kN dual-scale digital gauge is compatible with Verify PRO App. The three-legged load-spreading bridge has four height positions, swivel feet with 15 mm fine adjustment, and up to 50 mm tester stroke.
Included Adaptors
The kit lists an M12 ringbolt adaptor clevis, bolt tester adaptor with M12 locking adaptor, M16 threaded stud adaptor, M16 hexagon set screw, and M16 threaded stud for the stated scaffold-fixing testing configuration.
Documentation and Procurement
A 12-month gauge calibration certificate, protective case, and instructions are supplied. Confirm anchor type, base material, applicable TG4:25 requirements, load schedule, adaptor, calibration date, reporting, access, and acceptance criteria before ordering.
