Fig 2. S Series control panel
The single column materials testing
machines have frame capacities of
1 kN or 5 kN (200 lbf or 1,000 lbf)
and include two model types — the
S series and the T series. These
machines are designed to test a wide
range of materials, including, but not
limited to: plastics, films, paper,
packaging materials, filter material,
adhesives, foils, food, toys, medical
devices and components, in tension,
compression, flexure, shear, and peel.
S Series
Using a combination of quality engineering and advanced technology,
Tinius Olsen has produced a series of
machines that are accurate and
simple to use. All S series machines
feature an easy-to-read backlit liquid
crystal display that can be switched
between a numerical and graphical
Fig 5. Model H5kT ready to
perform a flexural test
display. All data shown on this display
is obtained in real time, with the
autoranging graphical display showing
the test curve of the specimen under
test. The control unit features dedicated
keys for moving the crosshead up,
down, stop, performing the test, as well
as keys for load and extension tare and
crosshead return. The control panel
also features an alphanumeric keypad
to allow the input of test conditions,
test data and the formatting of the test
report. The control unit can retain up
to five separate test routines for easy
and rapid recall. While powerful as
stand-alone units, these machines can
be enhanced by direct connection of a
printer through which comprehensive
test reports and high resolution graphs
can be quickly obtained.
The S Series of testers are also
designed for users all over the world —
an optional language module can be
plugged into the control panel and all
data on the backlit LCD will be shown
in the selected language: (for example
English, etc.).
T Series
Building on the quality and technology
of the popular and successful S series,
Tinius Olsen has developed the T series
of machines. The T series models
have similar specifications, without the
S series control panel. Instead, the T
series machines communicate directly
with a standard PC or network running
one of our Windows based data
analysis software packages, via high
speed RS232 in both ASCII and super
high speed binary modes.
Common Features
The S and T series use rapid change Z
beam load cells that allow for simple
and quick “sizing” of the machine to an
appropriate capacity for the test. These
load cells have an accuracy of
+/- 0.5% of the applied load value,
from 2% to 100% of the load cell
capacity. The S and T series have a
huge assortment of specimen grips and
fixtures allowing the selection of an
ideal configuration for your application.
