Tensile test results depend not only on the machine but also on how well the prepared specimens match the required standards or exceeds them. Even the most cutting edge tensile testing machine will be unable to provide consistent and acceptable results if the specimens are not correctly prepared.

The S+L line of machines for preparing tensile specimen from sheets is highly regarded by premier users around the globe in industries such as Automotive, Steel, Titanium, Aluminium and other metals and alloys.
A brief list of users is given below:

• Automotive Manufacturers: BMW, Daimler, Fiat, Ford, Volkswagen.
• Automotive Component Suppliers: Adient (Johnson Controls) – CRH, Benteler, Bilstein, Brose, Cosma, Faurecia, Gedia, Gestamp, Magna, Mubea, Recaro, TWB.
• Steel Manufacturers: ArcelorMittal, Arania, Interfer Stahl, Salzgitter, Shougang, ThyssenKrupp, VDM, Voestalpine, Wuhan.

The 508 Select: Modular Stone Hammer Blow Tester with Interchangeable Modules (VDA / ISO & SAE / ASTM)

The latest development of our manufacturing partners Erichsen GmbH & Co. KG, Germany is Multigrit Tester 508 Select, Stone Hammer Blow Test Instrument.

The 508 Select is a modular system that allows users to easily shift between the VDA/ISO related standards as well as the SAE/ASTM standards. The instrument is used to assess the ability of single and multiple layers of paints and similar coating materials to stand the impacts caused by small bodies of low mass hitting the specimen at high speed as experienced on road and rail vehicles and other equipment used in the transport field.

Menu navigation facility via the touch panel has password-protected levels, which protect against unauthorized access (such as program changes).

The instrument can be used to assess single and multiple layers of paints and similar coating materials.

Operation at very low temperatures (down to -30 °C) is available as an option.

Adjustable time for feeding shot.

Touch panel display.

85-264 VAC / 47-63 Hz (control circuit volt. 24 V) power input

Supported Standards:
Module 1: VDA tests can be carried in according to DIN EN ISO 20567-1,FORD FLTM BI 157-06,RENAULT D24 1702,PSA D24 1312,DAIMLER DBL 5416.
Module 2: 508 Select (SAE module) tests can be carried in according to SAE J 400, ASTM D 3170 , SAE J 400, ASTM D 3170

Further to the above two modules, almost all sub-modules that have been offered for 508 SAE & 508 VDA are usable with the 508 Select as well.

Characteristics:

• Test type: stone hammer blow
• Other characteristics: pneumatic
• Standard : VDA/SAE

The RUMUL FRACTOMAT is an indirect potential drop measurement system where the KRAKGAUGES (similar to strain gauges) can be pasted on both sides of the specimen to monitor and control fatigue crack growth on CT, SENB, and various other types of specimen.

Some of the advantages of the FRACTOMAT are as follows:

1. Does not require insulation as the power supply is very low; unlike DCPD/ACPD systems which require high currents.
2. Can be use from – 50 °C to + 150 °C.
3. It gives a direct indication of da/dN values.
4. Any RUMUL machine can be easily upgraded for using the FRACTOMAT.
5. There is a linear relationship between the crack length & the potential drop.

The RUMUL THERMOTRON, designed and manufactured by RUMUL is a high-temperature furnace that can reach temperatures up to 900 °C. It is air-cooled and an ideal complement to the RUMUL TESTRONIC and RUMUL MIKROTRON for performing high-temperature tests.

In case of need, RUMUL also provide furnaces that can reach higher temperatures along with strain/crack length measurement devices for High Cycle Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics tests.

A universal testing machine is used to determine the strength of materials and characterize their Stress and Strain characteristics. It is important to characterize materials before they are used for manufacturing.

This is very important since appropriate material strength corresponds to safety of the people using the product.

Since stress and strain are parameters which need to be determined with great statistical accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility, the following points play a major role in reducing uncertainities and getting a proper test result:

• A very stiff design of load frame to ensure the deflection of the frame doesn’t contribute to errors in test result.
• Selection of high precision mechanical and electronic components to making critical transducers like load cell and extensometer.
• A very sensitive controller with a high resolution for real time closed loop control of the load / displacement / strain curve to correctly trace the behavior of the material.
• An experienced software which factors in external influences which could affect the test result and eliminate the same from the calculations.
• An effective eco system to manufacture a robust universal testing system exists in Europe and we bring you the best quality from Germany.

Based on the application, we can offer a wide range of test forces from a few Newtons to 10 Mega Newtons. Please contact us for further details.

Accessories which can be offered along with the above solutions include:

• Grips and fixtures as per any national or international standards.
• Extensometers – Video, Laser and clip on type (Automatic and manual)
• Temperature chambers from -150°C to 1100°C testing temperature.
• Testing software

All of the above solutions are standard available solutions. We can also offer customized solutions which include:

• Elevated temperature testing.
• Testing in vacuum.
• Automatic testing using a 6 axis robot.
• Etc. to name a few.
