Advantest 9, Servo-Hydraulic Control Console
THE ADVANCED SYSTEM FOR RESEARCH LABORATORIES OF BUILDING MATERIALS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Servo-hydraulic system for static and low frequency dynamic tests on building materials under control of Load/Stress, Displacement Strain.
Ideal both for traditional tests, such as compression and flexure on concrete, cement, mortar, blocks etc. and cyclic tests for the determination of secant elastic modulus (E) according to all relevant international standard, and also for measuring, for example, the ductility and fracture energy of concrete reinforced with fibres (FRC) and lined with polymers (FRP), or the toughness of sprayed concrete slabs (shotcrete) under concentrated load tests. The console is connectable to up to four test frames.
MAIN FEATURES
Performance: user defined test procedures which can be easily performed under load, specific load, displacement and strain control.
Flexibility: possibility to connect up to 4 different testing frames from 15 to 5000 kN load capacity, easily selectable by the user friendly software.
Accuracy and reliability: long life system due, essentially, to the advanced electronic, efficiency of closed loop system, P.I.D. control adapted to the test and very high resolution.
Interactive software: To perform:
- Remote control of the system
- Monitoring and display of all test data and parameter either in graphic or numerical format
- File management by building materials, tests, specifications, clients etc.
- Print of standard or customised test certificate
- Real time variation of the setting including the control method (load, displacement or strain)
- User-friendly interface.
Extra channels: in addition to the four channels used for the connection of up to four separate test frames, an extra four channels are provided for connection to the displacement transducers, pressure transducers, load cells, strain gauges or similar sensors, which can be configured by the user conforming to the test requirement on a case by case basis.
