Material tests
The laboratory has a composite testing station including:
- servo-hydraulic test frame MTS 809, for performing tests in a complex stress condition (axial-torsion tests) – strength 100 kN, torque 1 100 Nm
- temperature chamber: from -129ºC to 315ºC,
- extensometers,
- displacement sensor,
- universal testing machine MTS Criterion C45 for performing static tests,
- software MTS MultiPurpose TestWare.
The laboratory performs tests on plastics, elastomers, wood, textiles, metals and composites according to the applicable standards or customer's requirements.
The laboratory’s range of services includes: compressive, bending, stretching, separating, peel, shear and fatigue tests and module measurement.
During the tests, the tested facilities can be monitored using the acoustic emission method by an AMSY-6 device (structural micro-cracks and defects diagnosis under acoustic emission load) or with a high-speed camera.
