MPM In-Situ Heating & Cooling - Installation for Automatic
Test Machine |
Introduction
MPM's patented In-situ Heating & Cooling System may be added to impact test
machines (both pendulum and drop tower) for controlling the temperature of test specimens. The advantage
of this technology is that test specimens are thermally conditioned right up to
the moment of impact. Another advantage is that the test specimen can be
more accurately centered prior to testing. The system replaces the
practice of using external thermal baths.
System Features
The features of the system are given below:
- Test specimen temperatures from -190ºC to
400ºC (with the standard system)
- Test specimen temperatures up to 1000ºC
with add-on module to standard system
- The centering tool provides a factor of two
improvement over the conventional approach of using tongs with a thermal
bath transfer approach
- The requirement for rapid transfer of the
specimen from a thermal bath is eliminated
- Full system includes:
-supports and anvils
-temperature control console with four thermocouple readouts
-centering tool
-calibration specimen instrumented with thermocouples
-user friendly software stores calibration data and provides
temperature set points
-hardware/software manual
