INSTRON model UT-20-0100 is a Servo- Electric Creep-Fatigue Interaction Test setup with a maximum load capacity of 100 kN. The system is equipped with a Furnace with a temperature range of RT to 1050 °C. The setup is specially designed for performing a wide range of static and dynamic mechanical testing for High-temperature materials and super alloys. The system is also equipped with HT static and HT dynamic extensometers.
Application: To evaluate a variety of mechanical properties of high-temperature materials and super alloys such as tensile, Fatigue (Low cycle and High cycle), and Creep-fatigue interaction tests.
