Electromechanical Structural Panel Flexure Testing Machine Series EMBP 5500 Nm

This testing machine is used to determine the flexural properties of structural panels tested both parallel and perpendicular to the long dimension of the panel. tructural panels in use include plywood, wafer board, oriented strand board (OSB) and composites of veneer and wood based layers. This method is ideally suited for evaluating effects of knots, knot-holes, areas of sloping grain, and patches for their effect on standard fullsize panels. It is equally well suited for testing uniform or clear material whenever specimen size is adequate. Measured deformation and elastic constants are free of shear deformation effects; and panels can be bent to large deflections without incurring errors from horizontal force components occurring in other methods. Specimen size and span above certain minimums are quite flexible. It is preferred when equipment is available. Available as stand alone machine with free adjustable rate of loading facility or with high resolution digital closed loop controller and application software for free programmable, rapid and productive testing with automatic calculations, graphs (as load/ deflection) and report generator with details of all test parameters, conditions and references plus calculated results along with statistical analysis.
