The Easydur Department dedicated to Universal Testing Machines designs and builds all kinds of solutions based on customer needs. Tensile testing machines are instruments for material characterisation that are widely used in laboratories and companies around the world, as they can perform all kinds of mechanical tests. Easydur testing machines guarantee 200,000 operational divisions.

Each series is developed for different force ranges (low load 10N – 5 kN, medium load up to 50 kN and high load up to 3000 kN). Easydur testing systems can accept up to 3 load cells, selected through EasyQs, the software developed by Easydur running on Windows 10/11 platform.

By simply changing a few accessories, Easydur universal material testing machines can perform tensile, elongation, compression, bending and shear tests following the standards required by the customer and returning values such as yield strength, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, deformation information and any other data that may be required for the characterisation of a material through mechanical tests.

If required, the instrument may be fitted with optional extras such as strain gauges of various types (mechanical or video strain gauges), furnaces and climatic chambers for tensile tests at specific temperature, and customised grips.

The Easydur software is highly versatile and customisable: it allows to program and save each test recipe, generate and export charts and create customised reports, fully in line with the Industry 4.0 philosophy.

EasyQs also makes it possible to carry out research and development activities, without following precise standards and analysing in real time the mechanical impacts on materials.

DEFINITION OF TENSILE TESTS THROUGH

FORCE-TIME DIAGRAM

When talking about universal testing machines, a typical way of distinguishing between tensile tests is by relating the applied load to the time during which this force develops.

In this case, we can mainly speak of static tensile tests (also called Creep tests), quasi-static tests (some variants of which are also called oscillating tests; in any case destructive tests), tearing and dynamic tests, or fatigue tests (a type of test that by virtue of its high frequency deserves a specific section).

A force-time diagram is ideal for understanding the differences between the main tensile tests:

Static tensile test, or Creep test

The Creep test entails the application of a static load over a very long period of time (up to thousands of hours). The temperatures involved during the test can also vary from several degrees below zero to thousands of degrees centigrade. It follows that creep testing machines must possess very high axial and lateral rigidity.

Quasi-static tensile test, breaking load

During the quasi-static tensile test, the applied load undergoes considerable variations, starting from zero force (or a slight pre-load) and reaching, over the course of seconds or minutes, the maximum load that leads to the breaking point of the specimen. Both the timing and the optimal loads for a specific test depend on various factors, all of which can be set using the EasyQs Wizard.

Tearing resistance test, peeling

Tearing resistance tests are often characterised by short application times of the force required to remove films (peeling), or strip threads and tear fabrics, ropes, plastic films, paper, cardboard. They find application in the packaging sector, but also in the research and development of paints, roofing and coatings for the building industry and beyond.

Easydur tensile testing machines: experience and Made in Italy at the highest level

HOW IS THE TENSILE TEST PERFORMED?

Thanks to the great ease of use of Easydur universal testing machines, performing a standardised tensile test is truly simple and intuitive. Just a few settings, and it will be possible to immediately launch the test and start collecting all the data for the characterisation of the desired material or product.

Thanks to EasyQs Wizard, it is possible to perform all kinds of tests according to international standards (for example ISO 37, ASTM D638, ASTM D882, ISO 178, ASTM E290, ASTM B348, ISO 3266, ISO 6892, ASTM E21).
