1.0 INTRODUCTION
The CHATILLON MT test stand is designed to perform various tension or compression tests utilizing the full range of CHATILLON force gauges. The MT test stand has two available capacities 150 LBF (660 N) and 500 LBF (2.2 KN). Each capacity has a quick-action lever or precision hand-wheel operating mechanism available. The MT test stand can be positioned vertically and mounted to a bench or wall mounted. The MT test stand can also be horizon­tally mounted and fastened to a bench. The wall mounting and horizontal mounting utilize the same components. The MT column comes in three selectable heights 750mm, 1000mm and 1500mm to accommodate various test sample heights. A ruler assembly is available for measurements that require minimal travel accuracy. A digital indicator is available for mea­surements that require accurate travel measurements. The MT test stand is lightweight and modular in design. The MT test stand comes with standard accessories that will allow many CHATILLON and LLOYD grips and fixtures to adapt to the test stand.

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.
5.2. Center the test specimen on platform and adjust height of force gauge above
platform to desired height using the 6mm hex key provided.
5.3. If deflection measurements using the ruler assembly are required, take note of
reading on ruler when gauge plate touches the test specimen. This point can be determined by monitoring the force gauge indicator while slowly raising the platform. Stop the platform travel the moment a force is registered on the gauge and then back off very slightly. At this point, note the reading on the ruler. The ruler may be adjusted on the rod to line up with the pointer for easier reading. The CHATILLON force gauges have different deflection and this must be accounted for when taking deflection measurements. Refer to TABLE 1 for deflection of each model gauge at full scale. Example: If A DPP 50 LB gauge was loaded at 50 LB (full scale) and the deflection on the ruler indicated 2.0 inches, the true movement of the sample was 1.9 inches due to the shaft of the DPP force gauge moving 0.1 inches.
Gauge Model Load Cell/Spring Deflection
DPP, DPPH .100 inches at full scale (1 revolution)
LG/DG 10mm (.394 inches) at full scale (1 revolution)
DFM .015 inches at full scale
DFIS/DFE2/DFS2/DFX2 .007 inches at full scale
DFGS integral load cell .010 inches at full scale
DFS-R 250 g to 10 LB .015 inches at full scale
DFS-R 50 LB to 500 LB .008 inches at full scale
TABLE 1
5.4. When using the digital indicator it is necessary to compensate for deflection of the
force gauge when performing a compression test. To obtain the true deflection of the test specimen refer to TABLE 1 for the full scale deflection for each force gauge model. Example: If A DPP 50 LB gauge was loaded at 25 LB (half scale) and the deflection on the digital indicator was 2.000 inches, the true movement of the sample was 1.950 inches due to the shaft of the DPP force gauge moving .05 inches.

6.0 TENSION TESTING PROCEDURE
6.1. 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.
6.2. Place test specimen in upper grip or hook and zero the force gauge. Then attach
test specimen to lower grip or hook.
6.3. If deflection measurements using the ruler assembly are required, take note of
reading on ruler when the test specimen is taut between the grips or hooks. This point can be determined by monitoring the force gauge indicator while slowly lowering the lower grip or hook. Stop the platform travel the moment a force is registered on the gauge and then back off very slightly. At this point, note the reading on the ruler. The ruler may be adjusted on the rod to line up with the pointer for easier reading. The CHATILLON force gauges have different deflection and this must be accounted for when taking deflection measurements. Refer to TABLE 1 for deflection of each model gauge at full scale. Example: If A DPP 50 LB gauge was loaded at 50 LB (full scale) and the deflection on the ruler indicated 2.0 inches, the true movement of the sample was 1.9 inches due to the shaft of the DPP force gauge moving 0.1 inches.
6.4. When using the digital indicator it is necessary to compensate for deflection of
the force gauge when performing a tension test. To obtain the true deflection of the test specimen refer to TABLE 1 for the full scale deflection for each force gauge model. Example: If A DPP 50 LB gauge was loaded at 25 LB (half scale) and the deflection on the digital indicator was 2.000 inches, the true movement of the sample was 1.950 inches due to the shaft of the DPP force gauge moving .05 inches.
