Device Description
The Hounsfield tensile testing machine is a servo-electric, displacement-controlled testing system for conducting tensile tests on plastics, metals, and composite materials. Thanks to its user-friendly operation and robust construction, the machine is particularly well suited for educational purposes and standard testing. The test frame accommodates various specimen geometries.
Device Application
With its precise force and displacement measurement, it is suitable for determining material properties such as Young’s modulus, yield strength, and fracture strain in metals and plastics.
