Test Standards of TT- UCLS Un- Notched Constant Ligament Stress Tester :
ASTM F3181: The Un-notched, Constant Ligament Stress Crack Test (UCLS) for HDPE Materials Containing Post-Consumer Recycled HDPE.
Test Methods of TT- UCLS Un- Notched Constant Ligament Stress Tester :
- Brittle transition time determination method: It is used to determine whether the specimen is broken within the set time. If it is broken, it is unqualified; if it is not broken, it is qualified. When it reaches the set time, it will automatically stop the test and prompt it.
- Brittle transition time measurement method: It is used to measure the constant load time when the specimen breaks, and the loading time is recorded automatically during the test.
Features of TT- UCLS Un- Notched Constant Ligament Stress Tester :
- With the function of automatically maintaining the power loss, automatically saving the test time and other parameters in case of unexpected power failure, disconnecting the load, automatically controlling the water temperature heating after the call, reaching the set temperature, automatically loading, and automatically accumulating the time.
- With accurate level control function, the level control accuracy can be up to 2mm, can accurately control the concentration of immersion solution.
- With the function of automatic loading and unloading. Each sample holder contains 5 stations, and each sample holder can control loading and unloading independently. After installing the sample and load, click the loading button on the screen, and the system will automatically load and start the timing.
- There is a partition between the test rack and the test rack body, which can effectively reduce the evaporation of water vapor and affect the concentration of test liquid.
- It has a good anti-corrosion function. The material in contact with the test liquid is 316L or tetrafluoroethylene, which can effectively avoid corrosion of the test chamber by the solution.
- With automatic auxiliary load calculation function, the system integrated load calculation tool, automatically calculates each station load.
- A sloping drainage, located in the middle of the bottom, is designed to eliminate the water generated by the failed test station in time, largely reducing the influence on other test stations.
