BI-7020/40 Thermo-Mechanical Test System
BI-7020/40 Thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) testing is a complex and demanding strain controlled testing under programmable temperature variations. Instron offers a comprehensive solution for such testing that requires simulating of synchronised heating and cooling of specimens combined with mechanical loading with real time thermal strain compensation.
Features
- Fully integrated standalone systems rated from100 kN
- Digital servo-controlled induction heating2 and pneumatic air cooling
- Self-aligning, self-locking, zero backlash water cooled hydraulic grips to test threaded and tubular samples
- Thermocouple based/non-contact type temperature measurements available
- Encoder based displacement measurements with 0.1 µm resolution
- 1µm resolution extensometer rated for 1200 °C operations
- Real time thermal strain compensation
TMF
Thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) testing is a complex and demanding strain controlled testing under programmable temperature variations. Instron offers a comprehensive solution for such testing that requires simulating of synchronised heating and cooling of specimens combined with mechanical loading with real time thermal strain compensation. TMF test systems are useful to test the operational efficiency and reliability of turbine components and structures when subjected to simultaneous changes in temperatures and load under laboratory controlled environment. Our state of the art digital servo used with TMF test system envisages independent induction heating and cooling through compressed air and also allows multi zone temperature tracking1. MTL32 proprietary algorithms used with our controllers permit precision heating rates up to 20 °C/s and cooling up to 10 °C/s.
