Testing of pipe segments
Universal testing machine inspekt table 50kN
Pipe systems made of thermoplastics are used for transporting water and gas, among other things, and must meet high quality requirements such as flexibility and ring stiffness. The inspekt table 50 kN universal testing machine offers a precise way of testing their mechanical properties. It can be used to carry out the following tests, among others:
- Tensile and bending tests on shoulder samples from pipe cross-sections of water and gas pipes as well as connecting elements.
- Testing in accordance with DVS 2203, the standard for testing welded joints on thermoplastic pipes and sheets.
- Tensile tests on cable strands with connecting elements, e.g. copper strands.
Testing system
- Universal testing machine inspekt table 50 kN
- Wedge type grips 50 kN for secure fixing of the specimens
- 3-point bending devce 20 kN for bending tests
- LabMaster material testing software for test execution & evaluation
Test procedure
- Preparation
- Removal of the shoulder specimens from the pipe cross-section.
- Clamping of the specimens in the wedge type grip or the bending device.
- Execution
- Tensile test: Determination of the strength and ductility of the materials.
- Bending test: Characterization of flexibility and material stiffness.
- Determination of results
- Data acquisition with LabMaster for precise analysis.
- Comparison of the results with the standard requirements.
Advantages of the testing system
- Versatile use for various pipe materials and connecting elements.
- Precise measurement of mechanical properties with LabMaster.
- Automated and standard-compliant tests in accordance with DVS 2203.
- High test loads of up to 50 kN for reliable material analyses.
