Product catalog summary
Introduction
The CHATILLON MT test stand is designed for conducting tension and compression tests using CHATILLON force gauges. It is available in two capacities: 150 LBF (660 N) and 500 LBF (2.2 KN), with options for a quick-action lever or a precision hand-wheel. The stand can be mounted vertically or horizontally and is available in three column heights: 750mm, 1000mm, and 1500mm. It includes standard accessories compatible with CHATILLON and LLOYD grips and fixtures.
Specifications
  • Capacities: 150 LBF (660 N) and 500 LBF (2.2 KN)
  • Drive Mechanism: Quick-Action Lever or Precision Hand-Wheel
  • Travel Rate: 75 mm per revolution for lever, 12 mm per revolution for hand-wheel
  • Total Column Length: 750mm, 1000mm, 1500mm
  • Stroke and Throat Depth: 150 mm
  • Weight: Approximately 12.2 KG
Assembly & Spare Parts
The manual provides detailed instructions for bench/wall mounting, force gauge mounting kits, ruler assembly, digital indicator assembly, and horizontal/wall mounting kits. It also lists additional spare parts like load actuation assemblies and miscellaneous spare parts.
Standard Accessories
Includes hex key, operation manual, hook assemblies, compression platen, set screws, adapters, and registration card.
Testing Procedures
Compression Testing: Ensure platform travel meets deflection requirements before reaching stroke limit. Center the specimen and adjust the force gauge height. Use the ruler or digital indicator for deflection measurements, compensating for force gauge deflection as per Table 1.
Tension Testing: Similar setup as compression testing, with specimen placed in grips. Monitor force gauge for deflection measurements and adjust accordingly.
Repair
Contact a local AMETEK distributor for spare parts or repair services if the test stand is damaged.
Parts List
The manual includes a comprehensive parts list for reference.
Mounting Kits and Optional Accessories
  • Bench or Wall Mounting: Use stable surfaces to avoid vibrations. Vertical mounting is recommended using four Ø 8mm holes.
  • Dynamometer Mounting Kits: For tests up to 660N, use kit SPK-MT-0001; for 660N to 2.2KN, use kit SPK-MT-0004.
  • Ruler and Digital Indicator Mounting Kits: Detailed assembly instructions provided for both.
  • Horizontal or Wall Mounting: Instructions include removing the plastic cover, using mounting plates, and securing with Allen screws.
Compression Test Procedure
  • Define workspace considering deflection.
  • Center the sample and adjust height using a 6mm hex key.
  • For deflection measurement, note the ruler value when the compression plate touches the sample.
Tension Test Procedure
  • Define workspace considering deflection.
  • Zero the dynamometer and attach the sample.
  • For deflection measurement, note the ruler value when the sample is slightly tensioned.
Maintenance
Contact the nearest AMETEK distributor for repairs or spare parts.

5.0 COMPRESSION TESTING PROCEDURE 5.1. Establish the platform location in reference to its travel so that the deflection requirements for the test to be made will be accomplished before the platform reaches the limit of its stroke. For example: if the test requires 2 inches of deflection, ensure the platform will travel the required 2 inches before stopping. Allow additional travel for the deflection of the force gauge. Center the test specimen on platform and adjust height of force gauge above platform to desired height using the 6mm hex key provided. If deflection measurements using the ruler...
