Ø Universal Testing Machine UP 50-T250-AK-4DH

Material models for the numerical determination of components subjected to multi-axial stress must be validated experimentally. This can be done with simple, standardized samples under combined tensile and torsional stress. It must be possible to apply the two load components to the sample synchronously or with any phase shift. The hydrostatic individual test cylinders EPZ-H and rotary drives EPZ-TH developed at FORM+TEST can be used to form a combined actuator. The universal testing machine UP-T 50-250 with actively clamped crosshead is used at the MPA Stuttgart for cyclic examinations up to 100 Hz testing technology on different materials and material composites.

Ø Universal Testing Machine UP 100 AK-2DH

If a component is subject to instationary loading during operation at high temperatures, the fatigue strength must be known in addition to the creep behavior. It must be determined in suitable tests under operating conditions. Therefore we use dynamic testing machines with suitable temperature control devices, such as the universal testing machine UP100-AK-2DH from FORM + TEST. In addition to the high-temperature furnace, the matching sample holders made of nickel-based alloys and high-temperature extensometer, the testing machine has an alignment device compensating for angular and axial misalignments in order to enable a perfectly standardized test. UP 100 HK-2DH - including a hydraulically movable crosshead, an axis alignment unit and specialised sample grips for cyclic tests above 25 Hz, high temperature extensometer and 3-zone radiation split-tube furnace, Form + Test shows its competence, especially for tests at over 1000 ° C
