PC-controllablematerialsfor laboratories

Instron Electro-Thermal Mechanical Testing System (ETMT) is a compact table-top testing system that is developed to perform accelerating high-temperature research. The system is capable of achieving fatigue loading rates up to 1000 N/s with heating and cooling rates of 200°C/s and 100°C/s respectively. The system is designed for full reverse stress loading to 3000 N and is supplied with a direct resistance heating system capable of delivering specimen temperatures of up to 1500°C. Features Dynamic loading up to 3 kN (0.7 kip) Nominal grip separation is set at either 16 mm (0.6 in) or 40 mm (1.6 in), with an actuator stroke of ±5 mm (0.2 in) Heating and cooling rates of 200°C/s and 100°C/s respectively Direct resistance heating via direct current through specimen capable of reaching temperatures of up to 1500°C, providing a parabolic temperature profile Temperature control with R, S or K-type thermocouple attached to the center of the specimen Low integrity enclosure for simple gas purging Optional configuration of a high integrity enclosure for operation under air, vacuum or back-filled gas purge, with a facility for inert gas built-in Optional turbo molecular pump for added performance in creating a vacuum Measurement of mechanical properties, physical properties, and microstructural stability under thermal exposure of specimens with cross-sections down to 2 mm by 1 mm High precision twin LVDT strain measurement system Mechanical alignment fixture AlignPRO is supplied to provide better system alignment
