Tension and compression test stand

The Mecmesin MultiTest-d test stands are available in 1 and 2.5 kN capacities. The stands work in conjunction with a Mecmesin digital force gauge and form an entry-level motorised test system for users who wish to evaluate quality control parameters of their products in tension and compression.

The system retains the robust design of the existing MultiTest motorised test stand but also includes: improved digital control, enabling greater precision and finetuning of critical test variables, such as speed; and an enlarged LCD screen, offering clear and comprehensive test settings and result information.

The system also features displacement as a test measurement parameter, displayed on the LCD as well as interfaced to a PC in a continuous data steam to obtain true force vs displacement graphs. This means that stress strain curves can be displayed on a PC screen, as well as elongation at break on the LCD.
