HMC 2.0 is Out Now

By -

HMC 2.0 is out now – replacing HMC as our wireless user interface for our ST and SL series tension compression materials testing machines. Whats new – Bigger clearer touch screen and all soft keys.
Why wireless – If you have ever used a materials testing machine with a tethered user interface what a pain that cable is (whether it’s a TO or another USA or German or Japanese brand) and reaching for a mouse to start a test, how old fashioned and unproductive. So, until TO releases its verbal “TO start test” capability a wireless interface is great. 

 

Put it down anywhere on the testing machine frame or lab bench, you can see the testing machines status, you can safely move the cross head and zero the measurement displays. And if testing materials that break with a BANG, stand back with the HMC 2.0 -  2m, 3m, 5m back at a safe distance yet still be in total control.

 

Tech Spec;

·        Bluetooth-enabled handheld interface

·        Typical battery

·        life is approximately 11 hours of

·        continuous use.

·        Three-channel display of test machine

·        Channels – Force or stress, Displacement or Strain 1, Displacement or strain 2

·        Selectable multi-unit display of channel

·        values.

·        Safe operating radius of a maximum

·        10m. If range is exceeded for testing, the

·        machine will operate in ‘safe’ mode.

·        Controls machine movement during test

·        set-up and initiates a test directly from

·        the application.

·        Instantaneous display of machine status

·        and channel values.

·        Test procedure involving up to five

·        steps can be set up and run directly on

·        the HMC interface. These steps include

·        move, hold and cycle routines.

·        Wi-Fi enabled to be part

·        of a local network

·        Test results can be sent directly to a Wi-Fi enabled

·        printer or connected to a PC via USB-A/USB-C connection.

·        8MP AF back camera and 5MP front camera are built into the interface and can be used to take pictures of specimens, tests and configurations as witness to each test. Interface has Full HD 1080p video at 30fps capability to record test procedure.

·        Stylus is included.

·        Supplied with lockable cradle, T slot mounting with articulated positioning

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 .
