By means of ZWICK Z100 testing machine one can exercise static tensile tests of any materials at room temperature as well as temperature elevated to 1200oC. The machine is equipped with tools facilitating strength tests of round samples, screwed, of grip head diameter M8 to M16 and flat of thickness up to 8mm. Use of two furnaces for heating samples allows to increase the efficiency of tests by 50%. Testing stand makes it possible to monitor continuously the temperature in the furnace and on the surface of the sample by means of six thermocouples and temperature controller: universal 3-Zone Furnace Controller, Model ME44-180. Use of ceramic extensometer: Zwick –clip-on WN:19 extensometer facilitates execution of direct measurement of change in the length of sample during sensitive phases of tensile test.
Basic scope of offered tests by means of Zwick Z100 machine for tests at elevated temperature.
- static tensile test at room temperature and temperature elevated to 1200oC with determination of parameters required by the standard PN-EN ISO 6892-1 and PN-EN ISO 6892-2;
- static compression test;
- determination of Young module E, Et.
