RING STIFFNESS TESTERS

The devices have large compression plates which can be used to carry out the test on pipes from the respective diameter range and with a length of up to one meter. 

A PC-based control software system provides clear visualisation of the device and enables convenient operation. In order to carry out the tests, the device provides various operating modes which can be used to exert either a constant force on the sample or to be able to move the compression plates at a constant speed. During this, the supplied or resulting forces and distances are recorded and the relevant force-distance diagrams created. 

Deformation of the pipe at the external or internal diameters can be measured and recorded using a measuring trolley.

The interface to IPTDataLogging® 6 enables the long-term storage of the results and enables standard-compliant test reports to be created.
