Tensile test

Static tensile test
Tester	Zwick GmbH & Co. KG, universal testing machine Z150, specified for fibre rope testing according to DIN EN ISO 2307
Application	Static tensile tests on fibre ropes in the diameter range 2 - 12 (16) mm
Load range	0 - 150 kN
Travel	1500 mm (up to 50% elongation is possible with a clamping length of 1000 mm)
Sample holders	Force reduction rollers D = 100 mm and D = 200 mm Pneumatic clamping jaws for residual force reduction Bolt for eye splices
Measuring systems	Load cell Nominal load range Path measurement via traverse optical strain measurement
Test speed	up to 700 mm/min
Norms	DIN EN ISO 2307:2011-01 Fibre ropes - Determination of some physical and mechanical properties

Creep test
Tester	In-house development
Parameter	Ultrasonic displacement sensors Testing at -5 to 65°C by air conditioner possible Cable force up to 50 kN Sample length up to 2500 mm
Three test benches with climatic chambers are available in the pilot plant for carrying out long-term tests. Thus, the requirement of a constant climate according to DIN 899 can be met and the influence of temperature can be investigated.
