A solid understanding of the properties of materials is essential for technical and scientific professions. This knowledge helps select the suitable material, monitor production and processing and ensure the requirements in terms of a component. The materials test provides the necessary data in a reproducible and precisely quantified manner.
The experimental unit has been developed specifically for experiments in small groups and is characterized by a clear design, simple operation and accessories that are easy to exchange.
The tensile specimens are clamped between the upper cross member and the crosshead. The test force is generated by means of a servo-controlled system and displayed on screen. A load cell measures the elongation of the specimens.
The experimental unit can also be equipped with electronic force and displacement measurement.
