The Material Testing Lab
Overview
The Material Testing Lab is set up with an objective of learning the ability to function on multidisciplinary teams in the area of materials testing. The lab is well equipped with some of the major instruments like universal testing machine having 100 Tonne capacity, impact testing machine, hardness testing machine, tile testing machine, torsion testing machine etc. The total area of the lab is 200 sq. Meters.
Laboratory Area: 237.15 Sq.Mts
Laboratory Expenditure: Rs 247198=0
Major Equipments
| Equipment Name | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Universal Testing Machine (UTM) | IS Standards: Extensometer, Gripping devices, Vernier Caliper, Steel Scale,Punch and Hammer. Deformation dial gauge, conical seating Loading carrying of capacity- 1000 kN and Model UTE 100 |
| Torsion Testing machine | IS standards the test piece shall be machined all over and shall be 55 mm long and of square section with 10 mm sides.Verniercalipers,measuring scale. |
| Impact testing machine | IS standards 1499-1959, the test piece shall be machined all over and shall be 55 mm long and of square section with 10 mm sides. In the centre of the length, there shall be a U – notch 5 mm deep rounded off at the base with a radius of 1.0 mm.Energy range is 0 to 300 JOULES. |
| Brinell Hardness Tester | Maximum Capacity -100 N m |
| Fatigue Testing Machine | Theis machine used for testing fatique of materials.Maximum Capacity 200 VFT |
| Rockwell Hardness Testing Machine | A specially designed machine that applies load through a system of weights and levers. The indentor may be either a steel ball (1.6mm or 1 / 16" diameter) or a conical diamond (120 degrees apex angle) with a somewhat rounded point called a 'brale'.The hardness number can be read directly from a graduated dial. IS: 1586 – 1968 - Method for Rockwell hardness test (B and C scales) for steel. |
| Vicker’s hardness testing machine | The Vickers hardness test is also similar to the Brinnel test, but a square based diamond pyramid is used as the indenter. Like the Brinnel test, the Vickers hardness number is defined as load divided by the surface area of the indention expressed in units of Kilo per square millimeter.Maximum Capacity 50kgf. |
