Detailed Description
100kN servo hydraulic fatigue rig capable of testing specimens in simulated ‘real’ environments. The specimen is enclosed in a protective chamber allowing for testing in various gas environments with and without a contaminant (salt) deposit. Used predominantly to simulate gas turbine environments. Recently retrofitted to allow PD fracture area measurement.
Uses/Applications
Used to assess materials performance in simulated environments. Can also provide data for lifing models.
100kN, load control, complex cycles, up to 5Hz, up to 900°C, PD capable, multiple gas testing (subject to COSHH and Risk assessment), salt deposits (subject to COSHH and Risk assessment)
