Used in conjunction with the above facility is
a new set of material creep test facilities. The Materials Characterization
Laboratory
contains:
- MTS 810 servohydraulic test system with TestStar IIs controller
and a 55,000-lb. actuator;
- MTS 810 servohydraulic test system with TestStar IIs controller
and a 22,000-lb. actuator;
- MTS environmental chamber for use with the MTS 810 systems;
- Load cells with 1,000 lb., 10,000 lb., 22,000 lb., and 55,000
lb. capacities;
- Two MTS extensometers for tensile testing;
- Grips, fixtures and fittings for performing tensile and flexural
testing;
- 400,000-lb. Tinius Olsen tensile / compressive testing machine;
- Four SATEC creep testing stations with environmental chambers
for tensile loading;
- Four SATEC creep testing stations with environmental chambers
for compressive loading;
- Two SATEC creep testing stations with environmental chamber
for flexural loading; and
- a 108-sq.-ft. walk-in environmental chamber for environmentally
controlled testing.
