1000 kN UTM - HPT Series with AUTOMAX T Control Unit

Featuring almost the same performances of the HPU 200 Series at a more affordable price thanks to the application of the AUTOMAX T technology.

High flexibility covering the following applications:

This model is controlled by the new AUTOMAX T control unit and is complete with PC, upper and lower hydraulically operated jaws, complete set of grips for rounds and flats, transverse test attachment and high precision load cell providing high accuracy from the very beginning of the load scale.

The frame consists essentially of a robust four columns frame with three sturdy crossheads: upper is directly connected to the lower one by two main columns; the middle one, moving on two screw columns, can be adjusted through an electric motor by using the dedicated push button panel, in order to set the required vertical daylight both for compression and tensile tests; the lower is controlled by a simple effect piston centrally positioned. Jaws and wedge grips are included. The tensile jaws are operated by a separate Hydraulic Gripping System with dedicated a push-button panel. The compression tests are performed between the lower and the mobile middle crossheads, using the suitable accessories.

Control console AUTOMAX T features space-saving ergonomic design with small footprint and houses the hydraulic power unit, the electronic system and the PC to manage all the control functions. Automatically performs steel tensile testing, compression, splitting tests, Elastic Modulus and Poisson's ratio determination on concrete specimens. See Accessories. PC and software enable remote control of the complete system.

HPT Universal testers are supplied complete with RTM (Real Time Management) user interface environment allowing:

The following Software packages are also included in the system:

• UTS Software Specifically designed for tensile testing under load/stress control and crosshead separation control (by using the displacement transducer supplied with the machine), allowing
  • Simultaneous display of stress/time, stress/elongation %, elongation/time and stress/elongation
  • Possibility to overlap two elongation/stress graphs: one obtained with the included displacement transducer measuring crosshead separation travel and the other obtained w ith an optional extensometer (coaxial or universal)
  • Elaboration of tension test results: ReH, ReL or Rp (calculated at three different elongation percentages selectable by the user), A, Ag, At, Agt, Ae, Rt, Z, elastic modulus E, etc, conforming to EN ISO 6892-1 and EN 15630-1 for steel rebars
