Universal Strength Gauge Testing

Capabilities: 

     - Measuring Scale: From 10 N to 600 KN

     - Stress-Strain Curve Illustration: Capable of plotting the engineering stress-strain curve for material analysis.

     - Strength Assessment: Determines yield strength, modulus of elasticity, and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) for materials.

     - Ductility Evaluation: Measures ductility through parameters such as elongation percentage, cross-sectional area reduction, and swelling percentage.

     - Welded Sample Analysis: Investigates the tensile and bending properties of welded materials.

     - Standard Compliance: Ensures all tested samples meet relevant national and international standards.

     - Sample Versatility: Tests a variety of sample shapes, including round, flat, pipe, and bolt, specifically for shearing tests.

 

 

Impact Testing Devices: SIT-300E and SIT-20E

     - Energy Capacity: The SIT-300E can deliver 300 Joules, and the SIT-20E can deliver 20 Joules of impact energy.

     - Standards Compliance: Both devices meet the ASTM E23, ISO 148, and EN-10045-2 standards

     - Design Conformity: in line with ASTM-D6110, ASTM-D256, ISO-179/180, and ISIRI 6981 standards. The test methods include Charpy, Izod, and tensile impact as per standard 13802 and ISO 8256.

     - Calibration Capability: Calibrated indirectly, which involves calculating the device’s friction in 11 half-cycles of the pendulum. This process includes software assistance for automatically calculating the pendulum’s real energy, speed, and accurate angles.

     - Comprehensive Reporting: A full test report is generated, detailing impact energy, release angle, pendulum rise angle, impact speed, impact center, cross-sectional energy, and friction loss.

     - Sensor Integration: The pendulums can be fitted with sensors to chart force-time and speed-time graphs during material failure.

     - Precision Measurement: Equipped with a digital system for precise angle measurement.

 

Polymer Hardness Testers: Models Time TH210 & TH200

     - Hardness Scales: Using the A and D scales of the Shore hardness system.

     - Standards Adherence: Conform to international standards including ISO 7619, ASTM D2240, DIN 53505, and JIS K7215
