Here, the Pressure Control valve and flow control valve are controlled by electronic circuitry in a closed-loop system to get the desired Loading Rate and Straining Rate.
5% to 100% per minute
± 5%
Load is applied by hydrostatically lubricated Ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the pressure Transducer housed in control panel. The Pressure Transducer generates the proportional signal corresponding to load created by Ram and is given to Electronic control panel (DAS Panel). Simultaneously, the optical digital Rotary Encoder fitted on the straining unit (Lower Crosshead) gives the mechanical displacement (Crosshead Travel).
