Compression Strength Tester For Transport Packages

Model HV-EXP3965
Compression Strength Tester For Transport Packages - Transport packages shall possess sufficient compression strength so that they do not get deformed or crushed when stacked one above the other, either during transit or in storage. The compression strength of transport packages is determined by placing the package on a flat platform and pressing it down from top with the help of another flat plate, either by a motor or by manual arrangement. The& Compression Strength Tester for transport packages is fabricated out of rigid mild steel sections and plates. The lower platen on which the box is kept for pressing is fixed on the frame of the tester. The package under test is placed over this platen and pressed down from top with the help of another platen. The upper platen is moved down by means of a screw arrangement. This platen is pivoted so that is can tilt to align its lower face with the top of the package, if the top and bottom faces of the package are not parallel. For conducting the edge and corner loading tests the upper platen can be held rigidly so that it does not tilt. The load cell used for measurement of compressive force acting on the package under test is mounted above the upper platen. The load is indicated on a microprocessor based digital indicator. The load indicator has peak force memory to indicate the maximum load at which the package failed, and a relay with overload protection to stop the motor if the load exceeds the maximum capacity of the load cell. The movement to the upper platen is given through a motor and gearbox arrangement. The distance moved by the upper platen is indicated on a separate digital display capable of measuring the distance to the nearest 1 mm. The equipment has over-travel protection arrangement to stop the motor at extreme limits of platen movement. civil lab equipments manufacturers.
