A discipline of materials testing is the destructive testing method, in which specimens are mechanically tested to failure. The materials test provides data for hardness, rigidity and strength in a reproducible and precisely quantified manner. The unit, in conjunction with the accessories, offers experiments from destructive materials testing.
The clean layout and simple operation mean the experimental sequence can be observed in all details and phases. The power of the trainer allows tests to be performed on an industrial scale. Material specification data and laws can be verified using self-determined measured values.
The vertical operated with direct force generation can produce both tensile and compressive forces. Cylindrical receptacles on the cross-members allow for easy exchange of accessories. The extensive accessories provide tensile and compression tests.
