AJT Equipment Ltd is proud to announce the recent design, manufacture
and supply of a 10,000Kn (1000 tonne) Horizontal Tensile Test machine.
This machine is unique in design and was supplied to Schmiedestuk
Vertrieb Feuerstein GmbH, Germany, a world class leaders in the production
and supply of Mooring Systems.
A fully computerised system was used to control
the machines’ four
heavy duty Bradford Hydraulic Cylinders each developing a force of
over 5000Kn at a working pressure of 250bar. The cylinders weigh
3 tonnes each and have a 510mm Bore x 320mm Rod diameter with a 1000mm
working stroke. The cylinders are of a screwed and welded construction
and were designed and manufactured in-house utilising “Bradford
Cylinders” extensive design, machining, fabrication and testing
facilities.
The load was then transferred to four x 5000Kn Tension Loadcells
designed by ourselves. Each individually calibrated by the National
Physical Laboratory to within accuracies of plus or minus 0.24%.
The machine was also fitted with a Linear Transducer to measure extension.
Ultimately the PC gives accurate data and plotted graphs using load
versus extension units all of which are automatically saved and can
be printed in situ.
AJT Equipment Ltd would like to thank their staff, Phil Hill, Trevor
Boot, Jamie Allen, Brian Doig and Sam Halliman, and to the suppliers
involved with the manufacture of this exclusive Test Machine for
all their hard work and commitment.
