The machine tests any suitably shaped specimens of various materials. A hydraulic tensile and Brinell hardness testing machine. Thematerial must not exceed the maximum strength or hardness limits.
The load frame is mounted on adjustable legs. The display unitshows force and works as an interface to send data to a suitable computer. To applyloads, students pump a handle connected to a hydraulic pump. The extensometer has a digital display of extension and connects to the displayunit for data capture.
The main parts of the equipment are:
A ball indenter for Brinell hardness tests
An extensometer with a digital display for tensile tests
A load frame
A display unit with a digital display of force.
