The ISO 37 or ISO 037 test standard deals with the determination of the tensile strength and elongation of rubber and elastomers. The standard ensures that the mechanical properties of the two materials are tested under standardised conditions so that the results are comparable. The results ensure that products made from these materials meet the required specifications and quality standards.

The inspekt table universal testing machine is an ideal testing system for determining the spring rate on window fittings, e.g. for roof windows. A special version of the testing machine with a centric through-hole in the lower crosshead enables very long springs to be tested. These protrude downwards out of the test area. At 10 kN, the nominal load of the testing machine is matched to the forces required to determine the spring rate. The spring rate (also known as the spring constant or spring stiffness) describes how strongly a spring reacts to a load. It indicates how much force is required to stretch or compress the spring by a certain distance.

The mechanical properties of thermoplastic pipes are of great importance for their possible applications in various branches of industry. ISO 13968 specifies the test methods for determining the ring flexibility of pipes to ensure that the materials can withstand the requirements of bending stresses. According to this standard, the following can be tested with apex pressure testing machines from Hegewald & Peschke.

For testing waterproofing membranes and bitumen materials in accordance with EN 12310-1 and EN 12311-1, the inspekt solo universal testing machine has been equipped with special accessories that are optimally tailored to the normative requirements.

Hegewald & Peschke offers a special testing system with an incremental displacement sensor for the precise determination of the ring stiffness of plastic pipes in accordance with ISO 9969, which is used, for example, on the inspekt duo universal testing machine.

With the universal testing machine inspekt duo 10 kN, bending tests as well as compression tests and tensile tests according to DIN EN 14509 can be performed.

Compression tests on hard foams in accordance with ISO 844 are used to determine mechanical properties such as compressive strength, compression, compressive stress and the compressive modulus. These tests are essential to evaluate the mechanical strength of rigid foams and similar materials and to ensure that they meet the requirements of various applications.

Sprinkler glass ampoules are safety-related components in automatic fire extinguishing systems. As thermal release elements, they must fail reliably at a precisely defined temperature and activate the extinguishing system. The requirements for development and quality assurance are correspondingly high, but can be tested precisely and reproducibly using the universal testing machine inspekt table 50 kN in combination with the video extensometer ONE1.

The testing system is specially adapted to the testing of wire ropes. It includes a tensile testing machine with a maximum load of 400 kN, hydraulic grips and video extensometers for optical strain measurement.

Our testing systems enable door lever sets and fastening elements to be reliably tested in accordance with the requirements of EN 1906 – including tensile stress, functional testing and deformation measurement in accordance with the standard specifications.

This machine allows shock tests for solar modules according to the standard EN 61730-2. The modules have to be fixed vertically on a transport trolley, which has been equipped with an appropriate support for fixation on the frame of the testing device.

With the inspekt vario 250 kN< component testing machine, you can carry out standard-compliant testing of raised access floors and their individual components according to DIN EN 12825 – including both component testing (floor panels, pedestals with central or eccentric loading) and system testing (complete assembly consisting of pedestals, pedestal heads and floor panels).

Mineral salt blocks, also known as salt licks, are natural products from salt mines. The inspekt table 250 kN universal testing machine is used to test the compressive and flexural strength of these blocks. Various test setups are used for this.
