Material Testing Apparatus: 50kN Model MT 157

Sci-tech Material Testing Apparatus 50kN Model MT 157, in conjunction with the accessories, offers experiments from destructive materials testing.

The clean layout and simple operation mean the experimental sequence can be observed in all details and phases. The power of the trainer allows tests to be performed on an industrial scale. Material specification data and laws can be verified using self-determined measured values.

 

The vertical, hydraulically operated trainer with direct force generation can produce both tensile and compressive forces. The height of the lower cross-member can be adjusted for coarse adjustment. Cylindrical receptacles on the cross-members allow for easy exchange of accessories.

The extensive accessories provide tensile and compression tests, Brinell hardness tests, bending, shear and cupping tests. Plate and coil springs can also be tested. The test load and elongation of the specimen are measured by sensors and are displayed.

Item Description

Features

  • Hydraulically operated trainer, based on industrial standards
  • Direct generation of tensile and compressive forces
  • Extensive accessories for experiments from destructive materials testing

A classic discipline of materials testing is the destructive testing method, in which specimens are mechanically tested to failure. The materials test provides data for hardness, rigidity and strength in a reproducible and precisely quantified manner.

Sci-tech Material Testing Apparatus 50kN Model MT 157, in conjunction with the accessories, offers experiments from destructive materials testing.

The clean layout and simple operation mean the experimental sequence can be observed in all details and phases. The power of the trainer allows tests to be performed on an industrial scale. Material specification data and laws can be verified using self-determined measured values.

The vertical, hydraulically operated trainer with direct force generation can produce both tensile and compressive forces. The height of the lower cross-member can be adjusted for coarse adjustment. Cylindrical receptacles on the cross-members allow for easy exchange of accessories.

The extensive accessories provide tensile and compression tests, Brinell hardness tests, bending, shear and cupping tests. Plate and coil springs can also be tested. The test load and elongation of the specimen are measured by sensors and are displayed.

Using the Sci-Cal system for data acquisition, the measured values for force and displacement can be transferred to a PC where they can be analysed with the software.
