Why Choose This Tester?
-
Standard Compliance: Meets the exact requirements of Table 7 force values.
-
Comprehensive Load Kit: Includes hooked weights (20N, 30N, 150N) and through-hole weights (300N, 400N) for precise application.
-
Simple & Reliable Operation: Features a manual press lifting trolley for controlled load application and removal.
-
Robust Build: Heavy-duty construction (150 kg) ensures stability during extended tests.
-
Controlled Environment Ready: Designed for standard lab conditions (23±2°C).
Key Test Principle:
The apparatus uses a lifting trolley to lower hooked weights onto the specimen. After the specified test duration, the trolley is manually raised to support the weight, safely terminating the load.
Ideal for: Conduit fitting manufacturers, certification bodies, and quality assurance laboratories seeking reliable mechanical endurance testing.
