GAUGE BUSTER PLUS Digital Load and Stress
Indicator. The SD digital was designed for production-testing laboratories where dependability, accuracy and minimal operator input is required. During a test, it displays both live load and rate of load and at test completion indicates peak load/stress plus average rate of load applied to the sample during the test. The SD is truly operator friendly with a test set up menu that is clear and easy to use requiring only numerical values or yes/no commands to set a field or activate an option. The specimen menu displays six basic sample types; cylinder, cube, beam center and third point, round and cross-sectional area. To set, select a sample type such as cylinder. The operator simply enters a numerical value in the diameter and length field to set. To ensure that the correct loading rate is applied to the sample during a test, the specimen type program automatically sets the lower and upper rate limit settings for the load pacing bar graph. When a sample size or type is changed, the control limits are automatically reset. The operator simply needs to adjust the machines loading rate to maintain the pointer on the bar graph between the limit settings. The graphs load pacing rates are selectable between units of time in seconds or minutes and, at the operators option, will display loading rates numerically in either load or stress units in English or metric values. For easier test operation, the digitals hands free automatic test reset mode eliminates the need to zero the unit between tests when testing a series of specimens. If manual zeroing is required, simply press the zero key at the start of each test. All set up menu function prompts and options are entered through the keypad. Test function prompts requiring numeric values to set a parameter field are; specimen type and dimensions, sample break percentage, threshold value, specimen ID number, specimen age and weight, job number and optional rate of load value settings for bar graph only. Menu options that require a yes/no command to activate are; displaying of tests average rate of load value, cylinder correction factor function to ASTM C-39 requirements, cylinder break type prompt, specimen ID number prompt, automatic store, automatic print, computer transfer of test data, job number, specimen age and weight, rate of load display type bar graph pointer or numerical value, and select type of engineering units; Load – lbs, kN, N or Kg, Stress – psi, MPa, Kpa or ksc, Dimensions – in, mm or cm. Accuracy exceeds ASTM C-39 and E-4 requirements and in general is better than ± .5% from 1% of full scale to full machine capacity. This accuracy is achieved through a calibration program using 5 calibration points with piecewise linear fit between points. To further improve accuracy, the program features a unique edit calibration function, which allows the calibrator to reenter the program and reset an individual value assigned to a point, further improving the linearity of the calibration curve in that specific area. The SD can store up to four separate calibration programs allowing a single indicator to be used with multiple transducer/load cell combinations in one or more load frames. For added dependability, if the digitals calibration is ever inadvertently changed or lost, its original calibration can be reinstalled in the field. This is accomplished through the calibration program by reentering the analog to digital conversion values from the original calibration. For easier reading of displayed test data, the SD uses a backlighted LCD display consisting of 2 lines, each with 16 alphanumeric characters of .40” (10 mm) in height. A tactile keypad is used to set all test control menu functions and direct data entry. Specific keys are; tare, setup menu, up & down scroll arrows, enter, escape, store, print, specimen ID number, decimal point, utility function and 0 through 9. For hard copy documentation, the SD will store up to 750 test results to memory for transfer through the units standard RS-232 serial communication port. The print menu allows the operator to print the current test or all stored tests with an optional printer. Test results can also be transmitted to a PC with the optional WinCom or WinCom Plus data communications program. The WinCom Plus program has the added feature of transmitting raw X-Y data to generate a Load/Stress vs. Time graph in a PC. Standard transferable test results include; sequential test number, date, time, specimen ID number, specimen type, specimen area, specimen length, peak load, peak stress, cylinder correction factor and cylinder break type. Optional test results include; average rate of load applied to a test specimen, specimen age, specimen weight, job ID number and statistical summary of peak load and stress. |
