Tensometer

Introduction

This analytical technique allows the Young’s modulus of a material to be evaluated; it is possible to plot stress and strain curves, right up until the breaking point.

 

Tensometer

 

Applications

  • To test tensile strength, flexural strength, ductility, shear strength, tear strength, rupture strength, impact strength within the pharmaceutical industry, automotive industry, food and beverages industry etc.

 

Instrumentation

  • Tinius Olsen H10KS tensometer
    Load measurement accuracy: +/- 0.5% of indicated load from 2% to 100% capacity; extended range down to 1% capacity with accuracy of 1% of indicated load
    Position measurement accuracy: +/- 0.01% of reading or 0.001 mm, whichever is greater
    Speed accuracy: +/- 0.005% of set speed
    Operating temperature range: 32 to 100 degrees F (0 to 38 degrees C)
    Testing Speed: inches /min 0.00004 to 40
                            mm/min 0.001 to 1000
