Benz TT 2300 Tensile Testers Stretch High Elongation Materials to 56"


PROVIDENCE, RI, February, 2002 - The Benz TT 2300, the largest and most powerful of the standard Benz tensile testers, has a tensile force of 20,000 lbs. and a 56" crosshead. It stands 74" tall, but requires only two by four feet of floorspace.

Used with textiles, rubber, thin films, foils, leather, wire, plastics, exotic composites and more, the Benz TT 2300 displays realtime force and elongation on a computer monitor for study, comparison, printing and record-keeping.

Operation is uninterrupted "load and go," saving enormous amounts of operator time. Results are precise and reproducible. Reports are easily customized.

Benzwin software provides data acquisition and comparison with past results through test curve displays and statistical analysis summaries. The Benzwin 2000 software, native to
Windows 2000, is part of the TT 2300 system, which includes Windows 2000 and a PC.

Benzwin 2000 software stores test data and holds it for comparison and model building. Stress and strain analysis therefore does not require repeat testing and calculating, sav-
ing time for production managers, quality controllers and researchers.

In addition to tensile testing, Benz tensile testers test tear strength, compression, peel strength, adhesion, coefficient of friction, burst, proofload, stress relaxation and custom tests.

TT 2300 hardware includes an emergency stop switch and programmed safety limits to eliminate load cell overload.

A number of grips for different types of material are available. Fixtures, adapters, temperature chambers, sample preparation equipment and high elongation extensometers are also available. All are detailed at www.benztesters.com.

Benz not only manufactures but services and calibrates all Benz tensile testers. Custom or standard, each carries a free one-year warranty.

Benz Material Testing Instruments offers three series of tensile testers, as well as custom machines. The TT2100 series has 36 inch crosshead travels, and the smallest tester is single screw. The TT2200 series has 48 inch crosshead travels.

The TT 2200's join the Benz family of material testing instruments, including abrasion testers, block ovens, bond testers, brittleness testers, durometers, fatigue-to-failure testers, flex testers, impact testers, permanent set testers, plastometers, rebound testers, resiliometers, rheometers, specific gravity testers, viscometers and melt flow indexes.
