Feb 13, 2013 Using forced convection technology, 3119-600 Series controls temperature on materials testing machines. Chambers feature adaptable Eurotherm 3208 auto-tuning digital temperature controller, high/low fan speed selection, and removable wedges with instrumentation ports that allow for routing of load string setup, extensometer cables, and thermocouples. For optimal specimen viewing, door comes standard with glass window warmed by integral twin heaters paired with internal halogen light.

Manual Wedge Grips meet Nadcap requirements.

Instron    Norwood, MA 02062-2643
Feb 13, 2013 Available in 22,000 and 56,000 lbf capacities, Manual Wedge Grips are suitable for tensile tests on composites, metals, and plastics over temperature range of -112 to +482°F. Grips incorporate moving body, driven by worm gear drive, which closes jaw faces together in self-centering action to clamp specimen. Symmetrical construction of grip body provides even clamping of specimen under load. Together, these features ensure accurate specimen alignment, satisfying Nadcap AC7122-1 and AC7101.

Data Analysis Software accelerates lab workflow.

Dec 13, 2012 Designed for Instron® Series 5940 single column testing systems, BioCoat Cover prevents leaking or spilled bath fluids from penetrating into test system and damaging sensitive electronic components. Smooth surface enables contaminants to be easily removed and is resistant to most detergents. Available as separate component, cover can be retrofitted on test frame. All connections and controls remain accessible, and system's functionality is fully retained.

Brinell Hardness Test Block is ASTM E10 and ISO 6506 compliant.

Instron    Norwood, MA 02062-2643
Jan 03, 2011 Made in USA, ASTM E10- and ISO 6506-compliant Brinell hardness test blocks are designed with 6 x 4.5 in. test surface and come with certificate of calibration traceable to NIST. There are 80 indents per block on average for increased testing capability, and engraved indent placement pattern ensures appropriate indent spacing is maintained. Also, factory calibration indents appear in octagonal pattern to facilitate identification.

Materials Testing Software simplifies test configurations.

May 13, 2010 Bluehill v3 Testing Software lets users configure test method that can be launched from desktop. Expression Builder can be used in calculation domains, expressionable control fields, and for creating user-defined measurements, while help system offers text help, navigation assistance, animations, procedure examples, and more. Software identifies transducers and links them with individual test methods, ensuring correct devices are used.

Pneumatic Grips offer dual-action gripping force.

Instron    Norwood, MA 02062-2643
Nov 03, 2009 Available in 1, 2, 5, and 10 kN options, 2712-04x Series features fully enclosed self-centering mechanism suitable for gripping plastics, metals, textiles, paper, and foil. Dual-action gripping force allows operator to maintain axiality of loading without having to adjust for changes in specimen thickness. Additional features include air valve to open and close grips, lock nut that removes backlash, and large throat area, which offers room for operator fingers and minimizes pinching.

Testing System controls all facets of force measurement.

Instron    Norwood, MA 02062-2643
Nov 03, 2009 Leveraging servo-control and signal conditioning electronics, 5900 Series operates on Bluehill® 2 Software and offers control panel with customizable soft keys and live displays. Single-column tabletop systems, with footprint suited for lab use, are designed for force testing up to 2 kN; dual-column tabletop systems, suited for mid-range testing, offer capacities up to 50 kN; and dual-column floor model systems are built for testing up to 600 kN.

Test Equipment performs wide range of mechanical tests.

Instron    Norwood, MA 02062-2643
