Monotonic Testing Software
BISS Tension, Compression and 3-point bend application software to perform tests (as per ASTM E8M, E9, E855 and D790) under MTL-32 environment with 2370 series controller.
The user interface includes specimen description, loading parameters, pump controls, test run/stop, graph display, numeric readouts of several relevant test parameters. Test descriptions and test settings are available as panels accessed by clicking on relevant tabs or pull down menus.
Standard Features
- Tests can be done in stroke, load orstrain control.
- Online graphs of stress vs strain, loadvs displacement, load vs time,displacement vs time etc.
- Option to save the test proceduresand recall them for future use.
- Change of test speeds can beprogrammed for one test run
- Data storage and recalling facility
- Auto data acquisition settings
- Option to view multiple test graphs in one plot.
- Option to remove the extensometer and continue the test in stroke control.
- Option to stop the test after specified percentage load drop.
- Limit settings on stroke, strain and load channels.
- Offline post processing program to analyze the results in MS Excel.
- Option to batch processing the data.
- Post processing includes important calculations such as: Peak load, stress & strain, breakload, stress & strain, true stress & strain, strain @ load, load @ strain, young’s modulus, % ofelongation @ break, % reduction in area, yield stress & strain, upper & lower YS, proof stress @specified strain (0.2%, 0.5% etc), strain hardening coefficient, ‘n’ value, ‘r’ value, ‘K’ value,and many more
