Universal Tensile Compression Tester ISO 527

The universal tensile tester is used for performing tension, pressure or bending tests. The classic application is the tensile test. This involves subjecting a sample to an increasing tensile load until it breaks. According to ISO 527 , ISO 6259 , ASTM D 638 , servo controlled , long travel extensometer , ball screw , double column , USB computer controlled , windows based software • - Easy operation and clear visualization (test curves, calculations) via integrated touch display 16″ • - Easy to change the grips via male-female connection • - Accuracy: ±0.5% of full scale • - Precise, self-cleaning ball-screw • - Brush-less servo motor quarantine maintenance-free operation • - Easy calibration of load-cell • - Socket connection of extensometer as standard option

The tester is used to determine the Vicat softening temperature and the heat deflection temperature under load for plastics and thermoplastics.

The falling weight tester is used to determine the external impact resistance of thermoplastic pipes using the staircase or roundtheclock method according to EN744.

The RCP tester conveniently and accurately determines the critical pressure and critical temperature for rapid crack propagation in PE pressure pipes.
