The Testing Times

Here at Tinius Olsen, we manufacture a range of different measuring devices to measure the defletion of the material you are testing. One of these tools is the 'Pipe crush LVDT'. This tool is used in compression tests of plastic pipes to accurately measure the pipe deflection at given forces. We supply different sizes corresponding to the different pipe diameters. For more information on LVDT's or other extensometers used to measure the deflection of a sample under going test visit our main website here or contact us .

Tinius Olsen is a leading global specialist manufacturer of materials testing machines, with an extensive product range covering low and high force testing of both raw materials and finished components. Our machines are suitable for use in manufacturing industries, as an integral part of quality control, product strength and performance analysis, research, and education. A typical testing system as seen here, is comprised of a testing machine/test frame , control and analysis software , and critically, the test fixtures, accessories, parts and devices used to hold and support the test specimen. These parts are referred to as the “ Gripping System ” and are typically comprised of two components — an upper and a lower grip, which together hold and/or support the material under test and accurately transmit the forces being applied, obvious examples include mechanical testing grips, adhesive peel tests, 3 point flexure bend, Friction tests and many more. In some cases the material or test
