Affordable Tensile Testers

 

Model AB-KIP-I

The easy to access 24" h x 13" w x 6" d test area allows various specimens to be quickly mounted for testing. The upper cross bar height is infinitely adjustable without tools for accomodating various specimens.

The S-beam load cell is attached to the cross bar of our AA-KIP-I machine with a pin and various specimen grips or compression plates attach directly to the load cell. A lower grip can be bolted to the test bed if needed. The AB-KIP-I features an enhanced cross bar and a pancake style load cell.

Since the KIP-I's are designed as general purpose instruments, the uses are limitless. From materials analysis, product testing to fatigue analysis, their functionality goes a long way.
