PC Controlled Loading Devices

Cormet’s workhorse for SCC tests is a PC-operated electromechanical loading device. It can perform Slow Strain Rate Tests (SSRT), Constant Load (CL) tests and Low Frequency Cyclic Fatigue (LFCF) tests. The loading device can be used in ambient, autoclave and high-temperature gas environments. 

There are several models available of which the 25 kN and 50 kN instruments are the most popular. The operational principle of the versatile and flexible controlling software is based on sequenced load patterns that can be combined and connected in series. There are specimen holders available for round tensile, flat tensile, CT and fatigue specimens
