What kind of testing machine that HST can supply for the composite material industry?
Composites MaterialsTesting Machine
The HST WDW series composite material testing machine is a game-changer for aerospace applications, capable of testing high-strength composites up to 300 kN in a temperature range of -60 °C to +350 °C – covering the extreme conditions that aerospace materials must withstand.
The testing system was specially developed to test high-strength composites up to 300 kN at ambient temperature or in a temperature range of -60 °C to +350 °C.
A composite material is a material consisting of two or more combined materials that exhibits other material properties than the individual components. Depending on the fiber structure of the composites, different methods of tensile, compression, flexure and shear tests are used. This allows testers to determine the mechanical properties of a material for any type of load application and according to standard.
A modular connection system provides the ability to use the full range of HST GROUP accessories to perform a wide variety of tests. Test fixtures, tools and sensors are available to fulfill the full range of accessory requirements, enabling at least 21 different types of tests and covering more than 115 standards. In addition to the usual tensile tests, these include FHT, OHT, end-loading compression tests, FHC, OHC, CAI, overlapping shear, Iosipescu shear, V-notch shear, in-plane shear tests (IPS), SBS and ILSS, 3- and 4-point flexure tests and fracture mechanics investigations.
