TESTING MACHINES
Introduction The new technology utilised in this series of testing machines is based on the use of PC applications, which allow a totally new concept in steel testing. Gone are the old control con-soles full of knobs and switches. Thanks to the use of the latest technology this new series provides both perfect closed loop hydraulic control and ergonomic operator usage. All the control fun-ctions are now managed from a stan-dard keyboard and mouse. Our frames differ substantially from the old tradi-tional models because of the originality of their design, new solutions employed and their extremely simple operation. The sophisticated software consists of a very complete suite of programs, not only for tension tests, but also flexure bending and compression on steel, and flexure and compression tests on con-crete specimens, in compliance with the new EN specifications. Other accessori-es are available to test steel strands and electrowelded steel screen.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SPECIFICATIONS
Machine frame, piston/cylinder
assembly, electronic load cell
- Steel base with rigid steel frame housing the lower grippers.
- Piston/cylinder assembly mounted on the top of the rigid frame. The piston incorporates the electronic load cell.
- Mobile frame consisting of four high tensile strength columns, upper cros-shead directly connected to the piston, intermediate crosshead with compres-sion platen and lower crosshead housing the upper grippers.
- The 70-C0807/C model has a 400 mm vertical daylight adjustable in steps of 50 mm.
- Hydraulically operated opening and ver-tical adjustment of grippers by two inde-pendent auxiliary cylinders controlled by
the push button panel. This unique fea-ture makes the machine extremely easy to operate enabling one man to perform the test in a very short time.

COAXIAL EXTENSOMETER FOR TENSILE
STRENGTH TESTING. (PATENT PENDING)
Introduction
Extensometers used for measuring the extension of specimens in traction, particu-larly in the case of steel or brittle materials, are only able to detect strain during the first stage of the test, or rather, while the brittle materials conserve their elasticity as they have to be disconnected before failu-re. This simple and economic system, the result of our experience in this field, fully satisfies these requirements because:- it is applied directly to the specimen- it remains connected until breakage- it measures extension with high pre-
cision of both the elastic and plastic stage and with the appropriate simple adjustments, it is connectable to almost all testing machines
- it avoids markings on the test pieces.
General description and specifications
The extensometer is basically made from three separate tubular sections, joined telescopically to one another. The middle section, delimited by the larger diameter, determines the measuring base, which, as
is well known, must be 5 times the diame-ter of the specimen (in the case of breaking point measurements). The two end sections consist of two mechanisms for gripping the specimen. One carries the electrical exten-someter, the other an anvil.
