Testing station for mechanical properties of ceramic materials
The Zwick/Roell Z150 testing machine allows measurements to be taken at a maximum load of up to 150kN. Depending on the equipment used, measurements can be taken in bending (three- and four-point support) compression or tension. The tensile fixtures enable flat specimens and bars with diameters from 4 to 25mm to be tested.
The Zwick/Roell Z2.5 testing machine allows for maximum loads of up to 2.5kN and is designed for smaller specimen sizes (minimum support spacing is 16mm).
Both machines are controlled via testXpert II testing software, which allows standard tests defined by many industry standards to be carried out, as well as the creation of customised, complex test programmes. This makes it possible to determine bending, compressive and tensile strengths, yield strengths, modulus of elasticity, elongation, work to failure and many other parameters.
