Features and performance |
Universal mechanical testing machine, with a testing capacity of ±100 kN, floor-mounted. The machine is equipped with the following accessories: force transducer, controller, Instron BlueHill Universal testing software and PC, set of sample clamps for tensile testing, extensometer for measuring deformation. Machine capable of performing a wide range of static (tensile, compression, bending, shear, etc.) and quasi-static (cyclic) tests. Calibration certificates according to ISO 9513 for the extensometer and according to ISO 7500-1 for the force cell. Horizontal test space: 575 mm. Range of working speeds in axial mode: 0.00005 mm/min to 500 mm/min, continuously adjustable. Return speed: 600 mm/min. Maximum speed at maximum load: 250 mm/min. Axial speed accuracy: ±0.2% of set value, for the entire speed range. Positioning resolution: equal to or less than 2.5 nm (nanometers). Maximum load at maximum speed in axial mode: 50 kN. Axial stiffness: minimum 300 kN/mm |

Access |
Access is by appointment only (at least 14 days in advance). The machine is operated by specialized personnel. The beneficiary of the tests will provide the test specimens in proper condition, ready for testing. The beneficiary of the tests will cover the costs of utilities, consumables, and equipment maintenance. |
