Tensile, compression and bending tests on GRP pipe systems
Universal testing machine inspekt 100 kN with a lateral test room 50 kN
The inspekt 100 kN/50 kN universal testing machine is used to perform mechanical tests on glass fiber reinforced plastic pipes (GRP pipes). The machine is specially designed for tensile, compression and bending tests on these high-strength composite materials and enables precise determination of mechanical properties.
Equipment and test method
The testing machine is equipped with a hydraulic grips that can apply a tensile force of up to 100 kN to flat specimens with a width of up to 60 mm. This enables reliable determination of the tensile strength, elongation and elastic properties of the materials.
A lateral test chamber with a capacity of 50 kN also offers the possibility of carrying out bending and compression tests. A special device is used for the bending tests to ensure that the test specimens are loaded precisely.
Precise analysis with the LabMaster testing software
The tests are controlled and analyzed using the company's own LabMaster software. The software ensures a standard-compliant test procedure and enables precise evaluation of the recorded measurement data. It offers a wide range of additional modules, including:
- Tensile test - determination of the maximum tensile force and the elongation values
- Compression test (ring stiffness) - determination of resistance to external forces
- Bending test - investigation of the flexibility and load-bearing capacity of the material
- Block program/component testing - simulation of real load scenarios for complex components
Detection of material failure
Thanks to the extensive testing methods, material deformations, cracks or delamination (separation of layers within the composite material) can be detected at an early stage - even if they are not visible to the naked eye. This makes it possible to identify potential weak points and significantly improve quality assurance in production and development.
The inspekt 100 kN/50 kN universal testing machine thus offers a powerful solution for the comprehensive testing of GRP pipes and other composite materials - precisely, efficiently and in compliance with standards.
