| Test tools for compression and bend tests For the performance of compression and bend tests a multitude of test tools of different versions and dimensions as well as for different test load ranges are available. The bending supports and dies for the different bending and folding tests are usually exchangeable. The adjustability of the support distance and the free height of the bending supports and dies allow 90° bend tests and bending-folding tests with angles of up to 180°. For the extension measurement, measurement systems with different gauge lengths, test travels and resolutions are available: • Extensometers with contact measurement for the manual attachment to the specimen • Extensometers with contact measurement for the manual or automatic attachment of the feelers to the specimen |
