compact, simple experimental unit for basic destructive tests

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.
