The tensile creep tester is used to determine the stress crack resistance of samples with a circumferential notch (FNCT – Full Notch Creep Test) under media influence.
This means that each station is monitored individually. Load is applied to the samples by placing the weights on manually. The tester is designed so that each station can easily be removed from the test tank.
A special circulation system ensures that a constant temperature is present in the test tank and that each sample is supplied evenly and constantly.
The level in the test tank is monitored and shown on the touch display. The operator receives a warning to top up the test tank when the minimum level is reached.
The newly developed Model 1808 electric notching device from IPT is designed for fast and precise notching of test bars for FNCT testing in accordance with ISO 16770.
