INTERFACE SHEAR TESTER
Product Code : GDSIST
The system is designed to test the shear interface between the sample and the top-cap. Customers may bond specific materials to the top-cap for testing.
Key features | Benefits to the user |
---|---|
Interface friction studies: | The most common uses for the GDSIST include studies of interface friction, for example between geomembranes, pipline footings and natural materials. |
Load cells: | Low range load cell for accurate low stress testing of axial load and torque. |
Stainless steel: | Available in stainless steel for corrosive sample testing. |
Internal submersible load cell: | This allows the user to measure friction between the sample and material without errors being introduced by the seal friction on the ram. |
Compact: | Small laboratory footprint. |
GDS force actuators for axial stress: | Accurate electro-mechanical control of axial force and displacement with keypad + display for local control. |
