Chamber – (Ambient to 600°C)

towa_admin — Wed, 24 May 2023 11:08:37 +0000

Suitable for most twin screw materials testing machines, the Tinius Olsen Environmental Chamber provides a means for performing physical tests within a temperature range of Ambient-600°C (Ambient-1112°F).
Air is forced over the heating elements located in an insulated enclosure protecting the user and forced into the working chamber area top and bottom. It is then drawn back through the centre of the chamber, through a baffler to the heating elements and recirculated.

Controller type Eurotherm model 3016 for single thermocouple temperature control configuration. Optional sub-zero temperature testing is available via a self-pressurising liquid nitrogen Dewar.

Door is left hinged. Safety interlock operated by door hinge cut heating process when door is opened. Viewing window is central to door 350mm high by 170mm wide. supports use of non contacting extensometer and deflectometers.

The chamber is supported on a frame located between the columns of the testing machine. When the chamber is not in use, the chamber can be rolled back and parked clear of the operating area.

Torsion Tester

towa_admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 04:49:10 +0000

For maximum versatility and capability, Tinius Olsen offers a full range of torsion testing machines in capacities from 10,000-300,000in.lbf or kg.cm (1000-30,000N.m). Higher capacity and other longer length models are available on request.

The 10,000in.lbf (1000 N.m) torsion tester is bench mountable and the moveable section slides on a guide rail. All other models are floorbased and are furnished with heavy duty slotted steel bed rails that are normally embedded in, or secured to, a concrete foundation to assure maximum rigidity and accessibility.

The moveable section on these higher capacity machines is mounted on four rollers that glide along these slotted rails and allow rapid positioning. Additionally, these rollers allow the moveable unit to compensate for any changes in specimen length during loading. The standard maximum distance between chucks is 7ft ( approx 2.1m); however, other lengths can be provided.

Model IT542

The model IT542 Impact shares the same features as the model IT406 except that it has an available energy of 542J (400ft.lbf). The IT542 is also supplied complete with automatic motorized return and digital display.

The model IT 542 provides maximum testing versatility. Easy insertion of interchangeable strikers in the pendulum head quickly adapts the machine for either Charpy or Izod testing. Two studs on the rear of the pendulum head allow optional tooling to be attached for performing tension impact tests.

A latch with a safety lock holds the pendulum in its raised position and assures a vibration-free release when activated. Once released, the pendulum quickly reaches the impact velocity of 5.47m/s (17.0ft/s) and has a maximum available energy of 542J (400ft.lbf) to impact the specimen.

The superior design and construction of the model IT542 ensures maximum testing accuracy and repeatability. When the machine is properly installed and levelled, the total frictional and windage losses during the pendulum swing are guaranteed not to exceed 0.5% of the energy range.

Model 50ST

towa_admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 09:41:27 +0000

The model 50ST is designed for tension, compression, flexure and shear strength testing on materials and assemblies. The robust design incorporates quality materials and components and ensures that our reputation for superior system performance, ease of use, and longevity is maintained.

A variety of loadcells are available at differing capacities that give precise applied load measurements from the smallest test specimen to ones that go to full machine capacity. Test machines become complete, powerful test systems with the addition of grips to hold the specimen, strain measurement instrumentation and Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software.
