The samples are
immersed in a solution to drop the temperature. After
three minutes at the desired temperature, the samples
are hit with a striker of prescribed radius and
speed. The operator then inspects the samples to see
how many have failed.
The instrument has a
built-in temperature controller, and with the
optional liquid nitrogen control
, allows the
operator the ability to change the temperature and
get to the new temperature quickly and accurately.
The Sample Holding
Fixture can hold up to ten samples at one time. The
amount of energy can be measured after each test to
ensure consistent test results.
