Summary

Customer Need / Challenge
A customer wants to conduct a tensile force test on different samples and materials until failure. Materials include plastic, steel, or woven fabric. They want to measure tensile strength, yield strength, and yield stress.
Interface Solution
Interface’s 1200 Standard Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell is installed into the customer’s test frame. The tensile test is conducted, and force results captured by the load cell and extensometer are synced through the SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module. These results can be displayed on the customer’s PC with supplied software.
Results
With Interface’s force products, the customer was able to determine the tensile strength, yield strength, and yield stress of a variety of different materials.

Materials

1200 Standard Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell
SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module with supplied software
Extensometer (optional)
Grips
Customer tensile test load frame
Customer PC or Laptop

How it Works

The 1200 Standard Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell is installed into the customer’s tensile test load frame.
Different samples are tested and the force data is collected. The SI-USB4 has two, three, and four channels, so data from the extensometer can also be captured and synced together.
The data collection is captured by the SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module, and can be displayed when connected to the customer’s PC with the supplied software.
