    APPLICATION:

    Compression Testing Machine is

    designed for testing metals and

    other materials under

    compression, bending, transverse

    and shear load. Hardness Test on

    metals can also conducted.

    bending, shear & hardness tests are conducted between the
    cross-head and table. Autographic Continuous Roll Load-Elongation Recorder:
    This unit is of the pen and drum type and is applied as standard.
    CONTROL PANEL: The horizontal motion of the pen produces the load ordinate of the

    maximum permissible error is 0.2% of the full load reading.
    Load Indicator System:
    This system consists of a large dial and 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. SPECIFICATIONS
