tensionfor materialsfor textiles

Overview
Two-column universal electronic strength tester based on the CRE (Constant Rate of Extension) principle. Designed to meet testing requirements of universities, research institutes and industrial laboratories for technical textiles, geotextiles, non-wovens and other industrial fabrics.

Main features

• Maximum capacity: 5000 kg (50 kN) — Code 2515; 1000 kg (10 kN) — Code 2516.
• Suitable for tensile, compression, tearing, delamination, adhesion and seam slippage tests and for hysteresis cycles.
• Twin ball bearing screws and reinforced guide columns ensure smooth crosshead movement and prevent frame deformation.
• Speed range: 0.5–500 mm/min.
• Maximum crosshead travel: 1200 mm (without clamps).
• Inner distance between columns: 400 mm.
• Compatible with a wide range of interchangeable load cells and mechanical or pneumatic clamps.
• PC-controlled software for test control and data acquisition.
• Optional Mechanical Extension Device for accurate elongation measurement on very rigid, low-elongation samples.

Compliance with testing methods

• Meets international standards: ISO, UNI, UNI EN, UNI EN ISO, ASTM, M&S, NEXT, JIS, etc.
• Officially approved by Marks & Spencer.
• ISO 17025 calibration certificate (Accredia - ILAC) available on request.
