Bench Top Tensile Testing Machine — MOE Lab Tender Details

Bench Top Tensile Testing Machine

A laboratory-scale hand-driven bench top tensile testing machine, 20 kN capacity capabale of working with a Versatile Data Acquisition System

Experiments
Tensile tests up to 20 kN on specimens made of different metals, to find material characteristics such as upper and lower yield strengths, tensile strength and overall extension.
Tests of Young’s Modulus (E) for the specimen material (needs SM1002A and TL specimens).
Brinell Hardness Testing

Specifications
To comprise of:
A bench-mounted sturdy box-section aluminium alloy frame
Adjustable feet
Rubber mat to catch broken specimens when being replaced
A manually turned worm and wheel gearbox
A long leadscrew to allow 400 mm of travel
A “Quick Advance” handwheel to allow for coarse adjustment when replacing specimens
Specimen Test Area where the specimens are placed between two sets of chucks
A heavy duty Load Sensor that directly measures the tensile force applied along the specimen, displayed on a Digital Load Meter
2x sets of chucks to enable different specimens to be tested
The chucks and load sensor to be ball-mounted for axial alignment
A Sliding Indicator to measure the total extension of the specimen
