When it comes to the evaluation of components and components operated at high temperatures, comparable tests for identifying the material behavior and determination of appropriate material models must be carried out. Temperatures above 300 ° C are usually special requirements for experimental equipment and especially on measurement devices.

However, Form + Test can offer solutions that allow experiments at highest temperatures, not only in static creep tests but also in dynamic fatigue tests.

With the recently built universal testing machine UP 100 HK-2DH, including  a hydraulically movable crosshead, an axis alignment unit and specialised sample grips for cyclic tests above 25 Hz, high temperature extensometer and 3-zone radiation split-tube furnace, Form + Test shows its competence, especially for tests at over 1000 ° C.

In addition to the robust machine technology, the machine is equipped with a high dynamic controller of the series

DIGIMAXX^® C‑2000  used.

The tests are controlled via the user interface of the test software "PROTEUS^ProA", which contains an individual module for standard-specific evaluation according to ASTM E 606, as well as an Universal Module in which free test sequences of most complicated type can be set up.
