With the Inspekt S 50, die pressing tests can be carried out on glass per ISO 614 and bending tests per DIN EN 1288-3 up to a maximum load of 50kN.
The drive here is implemented via a central spindle, meaning that a workspace width of 1300 mm and a workspace depth of 650 mm can be realised. Furthermore, the design of the Inspekt S 50 enables modified test space sizes for further glass sheet dimensions.
Die pressing tests on single-pane safety glass
Single-pane safety glass can withstand special loads and break down into small blunt pieces in the event of failure. This reduces the risk of injury considerably. Strength testing these types of glass can be carried out with the aid of the die pressing test per ISO 614.
The die pressing tests are carried out on a work table that comprises two aluminium heavy-load profiles running in parallel with an offset of 570 mm. In order to facilitate the assembly of the corresponding test setup, the profiles are equipped with T-grooves on the topside. Depending upon whether a die pressing test device for die pressing tests or a bending bench for bending tests is required, the relevant test tools can be quickly and easily mounted or changed on the test machine. The tool for the die pressing tests is designed for standard samples in shapes A and B.
Bending tests on glass in accordance with the four-cut process
Special safety glass is often used in construction, for example in high-rise buildings. In order to guarantee high material quality here, special bending tests must be carried out beforehand. The Inspekt S 50 test machine enables both 3-point and 4-point bending tests.
Operational safety devices for safety during material testing
If a glass breakage should result during material testing, this will be disposed of in an integrated catchment tray. Furthermore in order to prevent any risk to personnel, the Inspekt S 50 test machine from Hegewald & Peschke GmbH is completely encased. The protective covering on the front side of the machine comprises a double-leafed door that covers the complete test area. Electrical interlocking is also available as an option.
Simple operation and careful evaluation of the test results
The convenient front access to the test space as well as the use of additional lifting aids enable particularly simple operation of the test machine, which is equipped with tried and tested electronic controls from the Inspekt table standard series.
Evaluation of the tests is carried out using the LabMaster universal material testing software.
