Benz Materials Testing Instruments is offering a tensile tester that measures textiles, rubber, thin films, foils, leather, wire, plastics, composites and light metals.
Benz Materials Testing Instruments is offering a tensile tester that measures textiles, rubber, thin films, foils, leather, wire, plastics, composites and light metals.
The TT2100 tensile tester is unique in that it can show real-time force and elongation on a computer monitor as the force and elongation values change.
It can immediately print out the values on X and Y axes for further study of the testing results.
"Stress and strain analysis no longer requires interminable repeat testing and calculating," said Ted Benz, president of Benz Materials Testing Instruments.
"The TT2100 saves incredible time and allows engineers to determine exactly how they want materials to be constructed or what materials flunk their tests".
In additon to tensile testing, the Benz TT2100 tests tear strength, peel strength, adhesion, coefficient of friction, burst, proof-load and stress relaxation.
Custom variations of the TT2100 are available for unique testing applications.
The Benz TT2100 tester is targeted at production managers, quality controllers and researchers.
The TT2100 runs under Windows 2000, and it is offered with a Pentium PC.
Although compact, the TT2100 tests at substantial levels up to 1000N (225lbf).
This equates to about 77MPa (11,250 psi) on a sample measuring 0.0635cm by 2.032cm (0.0250" by 0.80").
Benz also manufactures tensile testers with capacities as high as 44482 N (10,000lbf).
A number of grips for different types of material are available.
Fixtures, adapters, temperature chambers and high-elongation extensometers are also available.
