Digital Compression Testing Machine - Accuracy: 1

Principal of operation: operation of the machines is by hydraulic transmission of load from the test specimen to separately housed load indicator. The hydraulic system is ideal since it replaces transmission of load through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage due to shock on rupture of test pieces. Load is applied by a hydro-statically lubricated ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the cylinder of the pendulum dynamo-meter system housed in the control panel. The cylinder of the dynamo-meter is also of self-lubricating design. The piston of the dynamo-meter is constantly rotated to eliminate friction. The load transmitted to the cylinder of the dynamo-meter is transferred through a lever system to a pendulum. Displacement of the pendulum actuates the rack and pinion mechanism which operates the load indicator pointer and the autographic recorder. application : fie compression testing machine is designed for test materials under compression bending, transverse and shear loads. Hardness test on metals can also be conducted.

Control Panel: The control Panel consists of a power pack complete with drive motor and an oil tank, control valves a pendulum dynamometer a load indicator system and an autographic recorder.
Power Pack: The power pack generates the maximum pressure of 200 kgf/cm2 the hydraulic pump provides continuously non-pulsating oil flow. Hence the load application is very smooth.
Hydraulic Controls: Hand operated wheels are used to control the flow to and from the hydraulic cylinder. The regulation of oil flow is infinitely variable incorporated in the hydraulic system is a regulating valve which maintains a practically constant rate of table movement.
Load Indicator System: This system consists of a large dial and a pointer. A dummy pointer is provided to register the maximum load reached during the test. Different measuring ranges can be selected by operating the range selection knob. An overload trip switch is incorporated which automatically cuts out the pump motor when the load range in use is exceeded.
