Standard Analysis Procedures

• Analysis
• Peak Load
• Peak Stress
• Average Load Over Extension Range
• Load at Extension Point
• Modulus of Elasticity
• Elongation at Break
• Reduction of Area
• Extension at Load
• Energy

Description

• Highest Load during test.
• Peak Load divided by specimen area.
• Average Load between two users specified extension points.
• Load value at a user specified extension point.
• Slope of the Stress-Strain curve in the elastic region.
• Elongation at the time of fracture including elastic and plastic deformation of tensile specimen.
• Final Area divided by Original Area
• Elongation at the specified Load.
• Calculation of the area under the Load-Displacement curve.
• Stress at the point on the Stress-Strain curve where the Modulus Line, Offset by a user specified amount in the strain direction, intercepts the curve.
• Load at the point on the Load-Strain curve where the Modulus Line, Offset by a user specified amount in the Strain direction, intercepts the curve.
• Stress at the point on the Stress-Strain curve where a line drawn parallel to the Stress axis and offset by a user specified amount in the Strain direction intercepts the curve.
• Load at the point on the Load-Strain curve where a line drawn parallel to the Load axis and offset by a user specified amount in the Strain direction intercepts the curve.

Drawings and pictures of test machine and Windows software

Using a standard PC you can receive, store and display the test results.
The machine can run controlled by a PC or standalone

Tensile test with TH56g+BW

+ extra extensometer

Friction test with TH62

The Software is included in the testing machine without additional cost!
No specific Controller Cards required,
a Laptop with a USB Port is sufficient to control the machine and receive the testing data results

All screenshots of software

Break force and other characteristics data are automatically determined
and can be transferred to a computer e.g. to be uses in statistics

peel test - analysis

Fully automatic retrieval  of measuring data with variable testing cycles is also possible
with a simple programming interface

Die Parameters of the built-in controller can also be set via the PC;
the Microprocessor of the testing machine controls the movements in real time
even without a PC connection.
