At Tinius Olsen the First Name In Materials Testing we are leading the way in usability of Tension Compression materials testing machines through the introduction of our wireless handheld user interface, model HMC. 

How does it support usability? As an operator I can be up close to the testing machine test area using the HMC to move the machine in support of test specimen loading, applying preload and removing test specimens, yet during the test if it’s a violent material break I can stand back, up to 9m away or outside the lab but still see the testing machine status and live test data on the HMC touch screen. And I can use the HMC to conduct and report on basic tensile, compression, load hold and cyclic materials tests, choosing to send the test report to a wifi printer or drag off the HMC through a USB connection no PC or software required. And its rugged, drop it, immerse it in liquid it still works, it has a Shock vibration rating MIL-STD 810G methods 6516.6 & 514.6 - Want to see it live contact us contact us click here

Grip Jaw Face Solution for Tensile Specimens Cut from Pipe

By -
Image
When conducting tensile tests on sections cut from pipes, be it plastic gas or water pipes or steel pipes, the resulting test specimen dumbbell or “coupon” shape (dimensions of which are defined by the relevant test standard be it ISO, ATSM, GB, GOST etc) exhibits the curve of the pipe, this means it cannot generally be held for the duration of the tensile test using flat parallel grip faces as the curvature of the specimen prevents a good amount of contact between the specimen and the grip faces. The solution is a grip face which mirrors the profile of the curve in the pipe (dumbbell or coupon specimen) a V on one side and radius on the other;   At Tinius Olsen we are able to precisely manufacture and supply such faces to mirror the radius of any curved specimen and implement in our tensile wedge action grips. The faces typically have a 2 mm pitch serration and hardened to 60RC in support of good specimen gripping. The faces are interchangeable for diff...

S274 - Mesh Weld Shear Test

By -
Image
This attachment is used to test the strength of the welds that hold mesh together. The mesh is often used as a reinforcement for concrete structures. as this is a structural component it is essential to test the consistency of the weld in any given section. A joint is cut from the mesh and placed in this attachment. A grip, the HW 14 is then placed on the end of the rod. a force of up to 50 kN is then applied and the shear strength of the weld measured. There is some adjustment in the design with a sliding plate that allows for different gauges of wire. The applicable standards are: BS4483, ASTM A185, ASTM A497 and ASTM A974. The testing application note for this grip is available from the resource area of our School of testing microsite or by clicking here .
