Testing of specimen with "LOAD RATE" control method


1. Clamp the specimen between the grips.
2. Start the hydraulic pump and remove dead weight of piston.
3. In PC software select the test type as "Tension Test", enter the file name & feed the input
data according to the type of specimen. Save the file.
4. Click "servo hydraulic test" button on menu bar or toolbar.
5. Select the "Load Rate" control method, feed following input data.
a) Preload % peak load: - Enter the value between 0.00 to 1.
b) Rapture % peak load: - Enter the value between 15 to 85.
c) Safe load (in kN): - Enter the full capacity of the machine.
d) L o a d r a t e : - Enter the required rate of loading.
e) Elongation rate: - Enter the required elongation rate.

6. Select "Start As" option. You can select any option.


a) In auto start mode the loading is done automatically & test will be conducted by
load rate value entered.
b) In potentiometer start mode initially up to 2.5% of full capacity of machine, you can
control the valve with potentiometer; this is to help to initial gripping of specimen
in tension mode or to cover the gap in compression mode. Control switches to Auto
mode automatically. To switch to auto mode before 2.5%, you can press "shift to
Auto mode" key.

c)In initial valve open method, you have to enter the "initial valve open % value".
In this mode the RCV will opened according to the value entered above & when
the load reaches at 0.35% of full capacity of machine then the test will be
conducted by the rate of loading method. This method is useful to reduce the
response time, Put this valve opening value according to type of specimen.
7. After entering all parameters click "data ok" button,

8. The data entered in PC software will get transferred to electronic panel. The real time
graph window will get opened.
9. Enter the graph scale i.e. Xmax value & Ymax value (Enter these values such that you
can see the graph up to rupture of specimen.) Click "OK" button. This will form the grids
to graph window. Unless you click "OK" button, the other buttons will not be enabled.
10. If the load value is small then tare the load by clicking "TARE LOAD" button.
11. Click "Start Test" button to start the test. After rupture of the specimen click "Stop Test"
button. Then you will get the load / displacement graph & all the results. Save the results.
12. After rupture of specimen or after clicking "Stop Test" button the RCV will get closed
automatically & the hydraulic pump gets off.
