The tensile testing facilities available have a capacity ranging between 50 – 500KN and a range of anvils, fixtures and accessories.
To maximize the testing range without compromising accuracy, three different frames have been purchased, two of which are equipped with hydraulic clamps. These cater for a large range of sample lengths and sections. A small testing frame, equipped with mechanical clamps has been included to cater for components with small CSA.
All testing frames are equipped with hydraulic actuators and are computer controlled, enabling these machines to perform a range of tensile / compressive tests both static as well as dynamic. These tests can be conducted in compliance to the required engineering standard.
These machines are equipped with a high temperature furnace which permits testing at up to 800˚C. The machines are calibrated periodically by an internationally acknowledged certifying body. |
