- Four-column rugged design allows larger samples to be tested
- Friction-free piston operation allows smooth, controlled operation and minimal down-time
- Different system control options are available, from a handheld wireless Bluetooth interface, or a tethered handheld interface running with a virtual machine interface application on a connected PC
- Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software can be connected to the tester by the operator
150SL – Tensile Strength Tester(150kN)
The model 150SL is designed for tension, compression, flexure and shear strength testing on materials and assemblies. The robust design incorporates quality materials and components and ensures that our reputation for superior system performance, ease of use, and longevity is maintained.
Tinius Olsen’s hydraulic testers have long been recognized as the standard for accuracy, dependability and versatility in universal testing machines. The many thousands of testers currently in use throughout the world attest to this fact. Now more than ever, the SL series represents the highest standard in hydraulically powered universal testing machines.
- Crossheads can be closed, semi-open or fully open for easier specimen loading and unloading
- In-head pocket grips can be supplied to accommodate flat or round tensile specimens
- Full range of precision extensometers and deflectometers are available using video, laser, encoder, strain gauge and/or LVDT technologies
- Columns can be extended by up to 914mm/36in to increase test area size. Note – screw extensions require holes in the floor
- Top crosshead can be made adjustable and columns can be notched to allow the adjustable top crosshead to be repositioned for more comfortable working height
- Safety enclosures with interlocks can be installed to protect operators from violent specimen breaks
- Furnaces and environmental chambers can be installed for tests at high or low temperatures
