ACCURACY & CALIBRATION

All Universal Testing Machines are closely controlled for sensitivity, accuracy and calibration during every stage of manufacture. Every Machine is then calibrated over each of its measuring ranges in accordance with the procedure laid down in British Standards 1610: 1964 and IS: 1828-1975. Universal Testing Machines Comply with grade "A" of BS: 1610: 1964 and grade 1.0 of IS -1828-1975 An accuracy of + 1 % is guaranteed from 20% of the load range selected to full load. Bellow 20% of the selected range, the Maximum permissible error is 0.2% of the full reading.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Operation of the machine is by hydraulic transmission of load from the test specimen to a separately housed load indicator. The 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 hydrostatically lubricated ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the cylinder of the pendulum dynamometer system housed in the control panel. The cylinder of the dynamometer is also of self - lubricating design. The load transmitted to the cylinder of the dynamometer is transferred through leverage to the pendulum.

• Displacement of the pendulum actuates the rack and pinion mechanism which operates the load indicator pointer and the autographic recorder. The deflection of the pendulum represent the absolute load applied on the test specimen. Return movement of the pendulum is effectively damped to absorb energy in the event of sudden breakage of the specimen.
• MACHINE CONSISTS OF Straining Unit This consists of a hydraulic cylinder motor with chain and sprocket drive and a table coupled with the ram of the hydraulic cylinder, mounted on to a robust base. The cylinder and the ram are individually lapped to eliminate friction. The upper cross-head is connected to two screwed columns which are driven by a motor. Axial loading of the ram is ensured be reveling the cylinder and ram of any possible side loading by the provision of ball seating.
• Tension test is conducted by gripping the test specimen between the upper and lower cross-heads, Compression, transverse, bending, shear and hardness tests are conducted between the lower cross head and the table.
• The lower cross-head can be raised or lowered rapidly by operating the screwed columns thus facilitating ease of fixing of the test specimen
• Control Panel The control Panel consists of a power pack complete with drive motor and an oil tank, control valves. A pressure transducers is connected for load indicator and a rotary encoder for elongation with resolution of 0.1 mm, is provided to measure the deformation of the specimen
• 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 operates 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 piston movement. Control by this valve allows extensometer readings to be taken.
• Load Deflection Indicator It is microprocessor based electronic control panel connected with machine using Pressure Transducer, Rotary Encoder and Electronic Extensometer. Using RS-232 serial communication port our s/w communicates with machine and get real time Load, Deflection and Extension and shows on computer. Electronic digital displays Load Elongation and extension. Facility to hold peak - load and tare facility to make load zero. Elongation display can be set to zero. Optional printer facility. All other facilities maintained under Model UTN. Printer and PC interface.
