Test & Measurement

Material Test Systems boost laboratory efficiency.

Intended for HDT and Vicat testing, Instron-® HV Series comprises manually operated HV3S with 2 testing stations, plus HV6M and HV6X with higher automation level and up to 6 testing stations. All use advanced electronics that automatically zero position of LVDT measuring sensors before starting test, minimizing test time and human errors. All use silicone oil as heat transfer medium- — 2.4...

Image Analysis Software reveals local deformation of specimen.

Working with Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE)- that supplies image and calibration data, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Software provides real-time visualization and also saves data at adjustable rate up to 50 Hz in form of individual images for subsequent analysis. DIC technology enables documentation of discontinuous strain, localized necking, and more. It also enables detection of strains...

QC Software limits specimen self-heating under dynamic load.

Specimen Self-Heating Control- (SSHC) is add-on to Instron-® WaveMatrix™ Software package for dynamic and fatigue testing of polymers and composites. Using difference between specimen's continuously recorded temperature and pre-specified temperature target, solution maximizes testing frequency in closed loop. Resulting tests run at maximum frequency while keeping specimen temperature within...

Hydraulic Grips offer open-front design, side-load dampening.
Controls & Controllers

Hydraulic Grips offer open-front design, side-load dampening.

Designed to enhance gripping performance, usability, and operator safety, hydraulic side-action grips with DuraSync technology are field-serviceable and can be used in high-capacity metals testing. DuraSync technology consists of mechanical synchronizer located outside gripping pocket, which prevents mechanical failure due to contamination. Adjustable clamping force alleviates specimen slippage...
