This Vickers Tester Does Not Save YOU Money It Makes You Money.

By -


Tinius Olsen’s New model FH-6 Micro Vickers, Vickers and Micro Brinell hardness testing capability. It’s an automatic Vickers hardness tester using the turret technology to hold up to two different indenters and four objectives which automatically selected and utilized when test is started.

This technology can help your business make money by increasing the efficiency of your Vickers tests. By using automation it cuts typical testing time in half, more for large pattern tests. And if the pattern tests per sample need to change, for example when testing around weld sites, the time saving is huge. Simply take the stored existing pattern, use it as a template and drag the intended indent points using the mouse or touch screen as required. This tester does not save you money, it makes you money.



FH-6 Material testing machine is capable of performing physical strength test in hardness on raw materials such as metal, plastics, large parts and small precision parts, it is a very versatile unit for the accurate and repeatable analysis of a material or components force and performance. Its 2 button control system allows ultra-fast pre-positioning and scroll wheel that provide control for fine adjustment on the focus positioning. This fine positioning is further enhanced by using a leadscrew rather than an Acme thread screw.

The FH-6 features a large internal touch screen in support of easy test selection and viewing of the hardness profile throughout the test in accordance with ASTM, ISO and JIS for Vickers hardness tests on metals, be it sheet, blocks or complex profile components. There are multiple options for a user to interact with the system to set up and control tests in accordance with ASTM, ISO and JIS (Nadcap) materials testing standard; The innovative Horizon Software allows file storing, image zoom, auto focus, limit setting conversion to other hardness scale, system setup and remote control, patter testing to ensure high reproducibility of test result and limits operator error and interpretation.

Grip Jaw Face Solution for Tensile Specimens Cut from Pipe

By -

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 differen

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 .
