The proven materials testing machine for classic creep tests with constant gravity force

The lever arm creep testing machine with dead weight was developed for classic creep tests and long-term tests up to 100,000 hours. Wear-free flexible joints guarantee optimal lever arm mounting and precise force application through constant gravity in a wide load range.

The Kappa LA-DW lever arm creep testing machine can be used for the following applications in ambient or high-temperature conditions:

• Crack growth/widening tests
• Creep tests up to break:
  - Creep rupture
  - Stress rupture
• Classic creep tests

Specific machine design

• Mechanical testing system for long-term creep tests up to 100,000 hours
• Constant load application through gravity
• Patented wear-free flexible joints ensure high-quality lever arm mounting.
• Wide force measurement range for tests with small and large forces according to DIN EN ISO 7500-2 in class 0.5 and class 1
• Automatic end of test after specimen break (break detector)
