Static test benches for testing launch vehicle components - Military applications
PINETTE PEI provides static test benches used to control launch vehicle parts and structures by applying tensile, compressive and flexural stresses, as well as internal pressure resistance tests.
Tensile/compression forces up to 25,000 KN
Bending forces up to 5,000 kN
Maximum dimensions of controlled components: diameter 2,500 mm, height 6,500 mm
Optimized design for easy instrumentation and loading/unloading operations
Maximum overflows applied to the specimen less than 10%.
Highly rigid reference frame ensures bench neutrality with respect to stresses exerted on specimens
All these features guarantee the efficiency, reliability and high precision of this equipment.
