compact, simple experimental unit for basic destructive tests
| Code | WP300 |
Description:
- 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 tensile test, bending test and hardness test are all part of classic destructive materials testing.
- The range of experiments with WP 300covers tensile tests, compression tests and Brinell hardness tests in the base unit.
- Bending, shear and cupping tests can be conducted using the accessories.
- Disk and coil springs can also be tested. Optionally available are large compression plates for materials with a relatively low compressive strength or different geometry that require a larger contact surface (lab-own compression specimens).
- The experimental unit has been developed specifically for experiments in small groups and is characterised 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 compression specimens and hardness specimens are secured between the crosshead and lower cross member.
- The test force is generated by means of a hand-operated hydraulic system and displayed on a large force gauge with drag indicator.
- A dial gauge measures the elongation of the specimens.
- The experimental unit can also be equipped with electronic force and displacement measurement.
- Using the WP 300.20 system for data acquisition, the measured values for force and displacement can be transferred to a PC where they can be analysed with the software.
