Accuracy:
DIN EN ISO 7500, class 0.5 / 1
Size:
choice of test load between: 1 … 100 kN
Test fields:
testing institutes
research centres
Specimens:
round specimens
flat specimens
tube segments
Standards:
DIN EN ISO 204
national guidelines from working groups
Application:
creep rupture tests, creep tests with long test duration
relaxation tests
tests with constant load application
creep behaviour by measuring with periodical test interruptions
Frame:
stable profile load frame with high stiffness mounted on an underframe
precise test lines can be adapted in any number
platform for test set-up with space for heating and regulation
the machine elements are screwed together free of play and are deformation-resistant
all contact surfaces are machine-finished to achieve the greatest possible parallelism across the whole frame
mounting plates for alignment and support
Load:
deadweight with incremental weights using a lifting system built-in underneath. The highest production precision facilitates consistent load application with guaranteed long-term stabilityt
Options / Accessories:
electro-mechanical or hydraulic load unit
measurement and control of force and strain
?PROTEUS“ test software for test control and evaluation
force and strain measuring system with suitable measuring rods
high temperature ovens
tensioning equipment with adapters for differing specimen dimensions
