FAQs of Universal Open Structure Flexural Frame:

Q: How does the open structure design benefit sample placement and testing?

A: The open structure design allows for easy and versatile positioning of a wide range of sample sizes and shapes, ensuring efficient test setup and increased throughput without cumbersome disassembly or adjustments.

Q: What are the steps involved in conducting a flexural strength test using this frame?

A: Place the prepared sample on the designated fixtures, set the desired flexural span (up to 500 mm), adjust the test speed, and start the manual test process. The digital indicator will display real-time data, which can be exported via USB for record keeping.

Q: When should the overload protection mechanism be engaged?

A: The overload protection mechanism automatically activates if test loads exceed the equipments 100 kN capacity, safeguarding the frame and the sample from damage. There is no need for manual activation, ensuring continuous safety during all testing operations.

Q: Where can this flexural frame be used most effectively?

A: Designed for laboratory use, it is ideal in civil engineering, quality control, and research laboratories where standardized flexural strength testing of materials in accordance with IS 516, ASTM C78, and BS 1881 is required.

Q: What are the main benefits of having a digital readout with USB export?

A: The digital display ensures accurate and easy-to-read test results. USB export functionality provides straightforward electronic record management, enhancing traceability and simplifying the documentation needed for audits or quality assurance.

Q: How does the adjustable test speed feature improve testing flexibility?

A: Variable, user-adjustable test speeds allow users to tailor the testing process to specific material characteristics or standard requirements, optimizing both accuracy and efficiency in material evaluation.
