Interface Load Cells 501 Materials and Process Control Testing Guide
Test and measurement engineers and professionals know the importance of material characterization. However, selecting the right tests and interpreting the results can be challenging. The Interface Load Cells 501 Guide dives deep into the world of load cell applications, providing insights into material behavior under various loading conditions.
Our 501 Guide, the final excerpt in our series, examines materials and process control testing. Compiled by force measurement experts, this advanced resource provides in-depth details on material behavior under various loading conditions to leverage load cell technology. The purpose is to give you a better understanding of materials and processes practically and tangibly.
Our first topic of discussion in this essential load cell resource details the fundamental relationship between force and deflection. We analyze how materials respond to applied loads, a cornerstone for optimizing material selection and process control. We take a detailed approach to shear force and compaction, ensuring you have the expertise to distinguish between these critical forces and their impact on material behavior. The guide also explains the measurement of peel force, a crucial aspect of evaluating the strength of adhesive bonds between dissimilar materials.
We continue with an illustration of conducting safe and reliable load testing while safeguarding both the load cell and the sample under test. It also explains how to find an object’s center of gravity (CoG), which is crucial for many advanced test applications, from rocket center of gravity to tank weighing and center of gravity.
Gain valuable insights into fatigue testing standards and more. Learn the complexities of fatigue testing, a technique for assessing a material’s ability to withstand repeated loading cycles. Understanding fatigue testing standards and capacities allows you to design and execute robust fatigue tests to predict material performance under long-term use conditions.
In this must-have resource, we go beyond basic load cell operations and share insights into how materials respond to stress, a critical factor in material selection and process control. Predict how materials perform under long-term use. Be sure also to check out our Force Measurement is Fundamental in Material Testing.
